[clue-tech] My questions--Installfest Recap

[David L. Willson]

The burritos were supposed to be free, but some people put money in the bag to help me pay for them.  I'm happy to give back any money of yours that you put in by misunderstanding.  This was supposed to be an illustrative exercise in how Free software works.  As I'm sure you know, nothing that takes work is actually free, including quality software, so it's important that we all give what we can.  Some use the software and provide feedback, some help others use the software, some contribute cash and gifts, some teach, some arrange rooms and teach and help, and buy beer.

:-)

I will try to be clearer next time.

The burritos were free?  Well dang.  I followed directions and littered 
greenies in the burritos bag.  Did the bag get thrown out?!?!
