you can do this yourself, and yet at the many bsd events I've
attended, I've never once seen anyone ask a developer to sign a
poster, even though the posters are ofter given away for free at such
events. (I think I did sign a PF book once.) I'd sign damn near
anything if somebody offered to pay me $10 a shot. I'll be at
eurobsdcon in september, we'll see just how little changes....
Actually we auctioned off a signed-by-some-10-devs Slackathon t-shirt in
2008 for something like $80 or so (by todays currency), but the buyer
was a frequent slackathon visitor so he might have donated the same
amount anyhow, just that he got a signed T-shirt for his troubles this time.
(Thanks to all three of you who bought t-shirts at the auctions, those
donations count as much as all the others)
