Cristian,

What are you going to do in the future that you wouldn't already be doing?

rubeng - this has inspired me to do something. E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll either refund your ticket so you can come free, or you can nominate somebody to get a free ticket.
Whoever gets the tickets will have to make their own way over there.

Ask HN: How to hand out free hacker tickets for the BoS conference?

I run the annual Business of Software conference (http://www.businessofsoftware.org). I figure that some of the folk here would (a) benefit enormously from going but (b) can't afford to go.

Red Gate is funding this. No local government / anybody else involved in any way. It's pretty expensive, but we figure it'll pay itself back. Somehow.

For example, we've already got a handful of startups at Red Gate (go-test.it, broadersheet.com and mixcloud) and there are all sorts of unintented, positive benefits. A couple of them have done some contracting work for use, they've introduced us to friends / relatives who've ended up working for us, and so on. And that's just the short-term stuff. Who knows what will happen long term.
