i had resigned after having to make a tough choice between finishing the open source onedotzero controller, or staying in work to do his closed project and letting down all the people in the collaborative endeavour.
i had hoped and prayed for the future to be bright and was planning to use this final paycheque as a buffer. I have put applications for jobs at nokia and surrounding companies, but I have simply run out of time.
i believe in this platform with all my heart and have been involved with it for a long time and think I have been making a difference.
i cannot afford now to go to the summit (hotels and airfare is only one small fraction).
i have to stop everything and concentrate on finding a local job to keep my family afloat.
we simply cannot afford to pay the bills.
if anyone can help, i have a paypal account on my server: http://liqbase.net
You were a lucky person to have a good and fixed job. Lot of people, even with a PhD don't have one (I'm talking in particular about situation in Italy). But you left it.
Don't those people have the same (or worse) problem like you?
I really hope you can find a new job as soon as possible, but I also hope you've learned to be smarter for the future.
Best regards.

Penguinbait, you owe me a new keyboard if I can't get the mixture of coffee and saliva out of this one!

lcuk, I wish you the best, I wish you can come to Maemo summit yet more important I wish you will put life on rails as such is more important than a (really nice) side project. Priorities... sigh

Good luck in your job hunt, I I don't have anything but some "personal" projects, which pay diddly squat at the time being.

this is the last I will say on this subject for now.
We have been checking now and there is enough to come to the summit.
With your most gracious assistance in my hour of need I will be coming and I will try to personally thank each and every one of you for your support
Whether I can continue after that is still blowing in the wind.
I would love to remain active here and hope together we can find a way.
I am not the best at all this business stuff, I just like to make things run smoothly.
Sincerely,
Gary, Tracy, Luke and Jacob.
