Support the FOSDEM organisation and get a return!
FOSDEM is an event for the community, by the community. As such, we think it is important to keep access to the event free.
FOSDEM is organised by volunteers who don't get paid and don't have commercial interests in the event. However, as you must realise, organising such an event costs a lot of money.
The primary characteristic of FOSDEM is that it is a non-commercial event. To keep it that way, we think the best way to fund the event is to ask for support from the open source community on a voluntary basis. We ask that you support us by making a voluntary donation. To thank donators, we have produced some packages in return for their support for the 2003 edition, which may continue for other editions. Here is a description of the packages corresponding to the amount contributed:
- 25 euros: t-shirt
- 50 euros: t-shirt + O'Reilly pocket guide
- 100 euros: t-shirt + O'Reilly book
- 150 euros: tshirt + O'Reilly book + chance to win 4 books of your choice from O'Reilly (books can be chosen at the O'Reilly stand)
You can't choose the book you get, but it may be possible to exchange your book with other visitors if you would prefer.
You can send us donation when you want, but only the donations made before the Wed Feb 5, 2003 will be taken for these withdraws.
All donators of 25 euros or more enter a contest to win magazine subscriptions (35 at all in English, Dutch, French and Spanish).
FOSDEM ASBL/VZW (the non-profit association) was founded in April 2002. Donations will sadly enough not be tax deductible.
