As promised a few weeks ago (but only delivered today), MySQL is offering a $100 discount on the MySQL 2004 User Conference conference fee for attendees who contribute to the Free and Open Source Software commons.
The purpose of this discount is both to reward people for their work in the community and to encourage others to start contributing.
To get the discount, you need to have made a significant contribution to the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community. Demonstrating this should be fairly simple. Some examples of how your might do this could be:
- mail me links to some support entries from FOSS support lists that you contribute to
- show me a software package that you have contributed to that is released under a FOSS license
- show me links to CVS commit messages for FOSS-licensed software documentation
- etc
You don't need to be an expert or a project leader to get the discount. Just show a consistent activity and a strong commitment to helping other people in the community!
If everything looks good, I will email you a code and instructions so that you can register online. If I have some questions, I will write. I know that this is not a very objective system, but it will have to do for this year's conference! :)
Also, if you have already paid the conference fee, we can retroactively apply the discount if you follow the above steps.
Please Note: If you have already received the early bird discount, I can't give you this discount. Still, drop me a line and I will buy you a beverage of your preference at the conference. :)
