Just an update here. Bob reached out to Bruce Shapiro (the CEO/Founder of Sisyphus) and asked if I could get a table anyway. And Bruce said, “Yes”. They just sent me a confirmation today.
I made sandify because I was interested in the problem, and I’ve been working on it because I know it is interesting and useful to all of you. But I’ve never charged anything for it, and I licensed it MIT to make sure it has the greatest chance of being useful. Bob and a few others have volunteered to make it better and it is definitely better than I could have done by myself. There’s no financial motivation for any of that volunteering.
And yet, it is a successful project, and there are a few people who choose to donate to my efforts even though they don’t get anything directly for that money.
And Sisyphus has decided to send me a piece of hardware (a rather expensive one, really), as a thanks for this project. They didn’t have to do that. You might argue that they will get advantages from me having a table. But it is still a generous decision and it is kind.
And in these forums there are people who would rather spend their time helping someone else get to draw their first crown than work on another project for themselves.
So again, Thank you, everyone for your support. This is an excellent community and I am glad to be a part of it. I would like to take a moment and remind everyone where we are and how great it is to see so many people working together, having fun, and sharing the wealth (literally and figuratively) that we all have.
