[tantek][manton] re: Fediverse report on Fediforum. I tend to agree with the criticism tbh for $40. We have done $5-10 for IWC/IWS in the past I believe but that was also an in-person event and we provided people with stickers or maybe t-shirts partially funded from that. There's no need to charge $40 for an "open" community (source, project, etc.) event
