From MashupCamp
Sponsored Travel for poor starving developers
Harkening back to the days of the PC revolution, there are mashup revolutionaries working out of their garages and surviving on coupons from Dominos Pizza. Unfortunately, those coupons don't make for the sort of currency that can get them from Brooklyn to Northern California for Mashup Camp. This Pay it Forward page is a place where those poor starving mashup developers can seek sponsorship for their trip to Mashup Camp from those of us who are more fortunate. There are no guarantees. But, if you're a mashup developer looking for a sponsor, then list yourself here:
To add yourself to the list, click on the Image:Edit.png above (to enter the edit mode for this page) and then, enter your name at the very bottom of the list using the following format (scroll to the very bottom of the edit window,..please do not overwrite the format samples immediately below this paragraph):
0 Full Name, email address replacing "@" with "AT" and "." with "DOT", location
For example:
0 David Berlind berlind AT gmail DOT com, Boston, MA
Using AT and DOT greatly reduces (practically eliminates) the chances that your email address will be harvested from this page by a spammer.
If you're a sponsor who wants to step up to help out a poor starving developer that's trying to make it to Mashup Camp, please contact the developer you want to sponsor at the e-mail address listed below. Once a match is made, please edit the entry to indicate that. For example, delete the email information and replace with the details as so (if you want to make the sponsorship public):
0 David Berlind - Sponsored by Joe Smith!
Finally, if you're a developer that gets sponsored on this page, be sure to register yourself for MashupCamp on the EventSignup page and confirm your registration with Doug or David (their email addresses on are the home page).

We would be willing to pay a fee and/or return the favor if you are ever in the Seattle Area. Please email me at hartsarah AT hotmail DOT com or call (360)632-7129 to discuss this possibility.
