A free ticket for the Linux Plumbers Conference

LWN contributor Valerie Henson not only writes good articles, she has good ideas as well. She has an extra ticket for the upcoming Linux Plumbers Conference that she has offered to give to a deserving soul. As it turns out, LWN also has an extra ticket for the conference by virtue of being a press partner. We would like to give that ticket to some deserving hacker, preferably one that would like to write an article or two about conference sessions they attend.

The conference is in Portland, Oregon in mid-September, and, alas, we cannot offer any transportation or accommodation assistance. But, we would be more than happy to pay for articles from the conference. Check out our Author Guide for more information on that. You would have to coordinate with that Grumpy Editor guy on article topics.

If you are interested, drop a note to lwn@lwn.net. Please give us some idea of why you want to go, whether you might be able to write an article or two, etc. Obviously, you would need to be able to get to Portland, take the time off work, find some place to sleep, and so forth. We will choose someone to go on Friday 29 August, 2008.
