Dr. Nic Sells His Baby
Well, one of them anyone and maybe not the one he loves the most.
All-around pretty smart Rails-guru guy Dr. Nic is selling his Rails-based MyConfPlan site for charity so he can attend a conference session:
Why? Because all the money paid by the winner is going to the Chad Fowler and Marcel Molina Jr fund for all-things Humanitarian, and so I can go to their Testing Training Day on the 17th of September in Berlin. Minimum donation is $75.
That’s right, the winner’s money could be entirely tax-deductible as its all going to charity. (You get the site’s code base and the myconfplan.com domain (cost of transfer is yours) are yours. I get entry to the workshop.
If it raises $500 then you are donating $500. If it raises $2,000,000 then you are donating $2×10^6.
I like it. Rather than let an interesting niche site languish on the vine it gets sold off to someone who can either learn from it or extend it, Dr. Nic gets some testing edumacation, and the charity gets some cash.
As of this posting bidding is up to AU $355. Not too shabby.
