Congratulations to Our Travel Bursary Winners

Tue, 2007-02-06 11:49 — Darren Barefoot

Thanks to everybody who submitted requests for travel bursaries. The organizers spent some time knocking our (virtual heads) together and have selected the following winners:

Monique's actually a Vancouverite, but she had a great idea for how to spend one of the bursaries:

I know that all sorts of great people come to the conference each year, and each year, we’re so crazy to hang out with each other that, at the last minute, we plan parties and after-conference events. We go for dinner, we go for drinks, we go to hang out.

I would like to buy a bunch of taxi cards so that people who have been drinking can see me for a taxi card. Whether they’re going home, to a hotel, wherever, I want to make sure my fab friends--new and old--get around safely.

We're sorry we can't accommodate everybody's needs, but we've only got so much cash in the bank!

UPDATE: Error! Error! Will Robinson! Sorry, made an error. Busy morning. Error fixed. Blame a hanging chad, or something.

Wow and thank you! I am really excited that I received a travel bursary and can't wait to attend the conference (and unconference!)

Best to all,

Candace

Congrats to the winners. Maybe I'll be able to make it next year.

And I hope that this comment doesn't get disappeared like my last two.

taxi cards

Monique is a smart cookie; that's a great plan! You can't blog very well from the hospital if you get in an accident.
