Collecting for dIon at Software Summit
In past years, at the Colorado Software Summit, we have taken up a collection and given some sort of “surprise” gift to the organizers: Wayne and Peggy.
We’re going to do something different this year. We recently lost one of our “family” - our dear friend dIon Gillard.
This year’s collection will be sent to the Melanoma Foundation (Austrailia) - hopefully we make it less likely that we loose another friend to this awful disease.
If you are here at the conference, find me or Kelvin and please make a donation.
Thanks.

Fantastic idea, I heartily approve!
Is there a paypal option for those of us far away this year? Also - you should still embarrass Wayne, and present him the gift slip, made in the name of CSS and dIon, or something like that. And make sure that a plug for skin cancer awareness is made in front of everyone (if that hasn’t happened yet) so at least the few hundred people there get a dose of education. (Wear sunscreen, get suspicious stuff checked out - nothing hugely long or morbid, but yeah!)
Good job, guys! (hugs)
Hi
I’m not there this year, but I’d like to be part of this donation. To what address can I send my contribution?
TIA
Don A
PS Best Regards to you all
We will look into ways of involving those of you who are not able to be here, and let you know what we come up with. Stay tuned.
