Membership Tiers
Post Alerts: I'll send you a link and TL;DR summary of the article as soon as it's posted. Most months I write between one and four "major posts" (which includes FLOSS Weekly appearances and conference talks). I'll also post non-public summaries when I intervene at meetings and events.
Print Posts: In addition to Supporter benefits, I'll also send you the text of each article that is published in print or non-public publications where that's allowed (you will most likely get my pre-edit final draft). I may ask you for input on early drafts as well.
Stickers: In addition to all the above, to thank you for pledging I'll harvest some stickers for your laptop personally.
Topic Request: At this reward level, you may suggest I include coverage of a topic of your choice related to my areas (subject to confirmation). Note that coverage will be my opinion alone and will be public. I reserve the right to decline, or to cover the topic you suggest negatively if that is what I believe is appropriate.
