Andrei, thanks for doing this! :)

Is kickstarter the only way of pledging? I tried and had to create a 
kickstarter account, which I never needed. When the process then 
required *also* to create an Amazon account I stopped. :(

Can I send a check or pay by PayPal?

Thanks,

Yes, this. If we don't break through the limit, nobody is charged a 
dime. It would be more complicated to refund checks etc.

  I happened to have a facebook (alternate sign-in) & amazon

  I'll look forward to the results of the kickstarter.

We seem to be off to a good start. I've also just added a Facebook ad, 
see it demoed here: http://goo.gl/NrEis

Thanks to all who've contributed, and all others please consider doing 
so. This is a great time to add material support to our passion for this

I have been a committee member of the UK AUA 
(http://www.iua.org.uk) and I know that the best way to get 
funding is to find good sponsors. That is my recommendation to 
you, Andrei. - Try hard to find sponsors for the DConf. Perhaps 
FSF would help or some other open-source funding organisation?

I think that's a great idea. I am, of course, trying to bring in 
Facebook sponsorship. All - please bring the campaign to the attention 
of interested entities by your employer: recruiters, managers etc.

If you have any contacts that you think I could cold-email, please write 
me email. In particular, who in FSF would be suitable?

GDC is free software, and the rights were assigned to the FSF a year ago.

This is going way better than I expected. 1/4 of the money raised in 2 days.

Yah. On the other hand corporate sponsors tend to move slower. Hopefully 
we'll find more of those. (One platinum sponsorship was initiated by a 
private investor.)

The key to doing good now is to let people know through all channels 
about this. Please do so, and contact me with any other ideas you might 
have.

Obviously, you can expect the rate to be higher at the beginning and at 
the end.

But still, numbers are encouraging.

I'm a backer now, with Facebook and Amazon accounts it was real 
quick and simple.

My evil plan is the fact of organizing this conference will bring 
more people's attention to the language, more adopters and 
developers, so the implementation will get better and better 
faster.

Looking at the graph and excluding the super-villains (who are they?) 
the current pool seems close to empty.
There will probably be an end spurt if the goals seems in sight, but as 
it stand I don't see this happening.

My reason for not having pledged:
Too expensive: flight + ticket.
I will pledge 100$ if that would mean videos.

 Looking at the graph and excluding the super-villains (who are they?)
 the current pool seems close to empty.


We currently have one generous $5K contribution from Andrew Edwards (an 
enlisted US Marine) and another one from Sociomantic.com. Since Andrew 
is not competing for branding or recruiting, we're considering offering 
one extra Kryptonite slot should we receive requests.

Excluding the large contributions is actually not indicative because 
most conferences actually finance via sponsorships.


 There will probably be an end spurt if the goals seems in sight, but as
 it stand I don't see this happening.


The way I see it, we have 16 firm early bird attendees, and we're six 
corporate sponsorships away from reaching our goal. We must make this 
happen.

One thing we could all do is to mention the conference to our recruiting 
managers. This is a golden opportunity to recruit straight in the Bay 
Area. A contribution as simple as offering a conference room for three 
days would mean huge goodwill in the D community for next to no cost to 
the company.


 My reason for not having pledged:
 Too expensive: flight + ticket.
 I will pledge 100$ if that would mean videos.


Understood. Note that if you submit a talk proposal, it's possible (no 
promise though at this point) we'd be able to defray transportation costs.

 coworkers, and bring the discussion up with your employer's 
 managers and recruiters. It should be an easier case to make 
 now that among 107 backers we have sold out 20 early bird seats 
 and 3 sponsorships before even having published a conference 
 program.

 We will make this happen!

I was about to donate, but after creating the accounts I found
out paying is only possible with a credit card.
Is there another way I can donate $25 (or $50+ if you can send a
shirt to the EU)?

What's up with WEB SUPPORTER being a US only thing?

It's not really. The t-shirt at "DON'T LOSE YOUR SHIRT" is US-only unless you 
pay for shipping, and WEB SUPPORTER inherits that. You can support it 
regardless of your location. You just don't get free shipping for the t-shirt 
outside of the US.

We did it! Congratulations to everyone who helped and to the entire D 
community!

Now let's get to work - we've got a lot of planning to do. Please start 
thinking about submitting a talk proposal (title, abstract, and bio).
