   A slide from my #NBPy closing. Running a community conference for cheap is a difficult slog. Our cheaper tickets are offered as close to the margin as we can possibly afford. Unless something changes on the sponsor/donation side, this is going to be difficult to catch up.

     Today's excellent news is that after my call to action to donate to #NBPy during the weekend, we received $600 in donations, in addition to $150 received earlier in the year.

     That means we exceeded 2024's income. Hooray! Not everything is terrible!

     (Also, you can donate too, at https://nbpy.link/donate)

     What's on our nice-to-have list? Childcare. Financial aid. Better transport options to the ranch from Petaluma and further afield. Student outreach.

     All things that have far longer lead times than when our money comes in.

     I have some solutions in mind, but I wish it weren't quite so much. #NBPy
