Simon Hobbs is a pillar of the Melbourne Drupal community. He organised our meetups and our first drupalcamp.
With the inevitable fall out of winding up a small biz he hasn't been able to find the cash to travel, live and register for DrupalDownunder in Brisbane next month.
I reckon it just wouldn't be the same with out Sime there? What do you think?
The chook raffle is an aussie tradition - chipin lets us do that without the chook. I'm throwing in a few dollars - hell I reckon Sime's bought me more beer and pizza over the last couple of years, I probably owe him!
http://simehobbs.chipin.com/simon-hobbs-to-attend-drupaldownunder - it's not a lot - if all of us chipin a bit.

Super grateful for the
Super grateful for the support so far! I've booked the cheapest Tiger flights I can ($114 return which was cheaper than my estimate), I figure at the very least I will just hang around the front of the venue and sleep on someone's floor. But things are going well and I'll close the chipin as soon as I have enough to survive. :)
timeout. how about a vindaloo?
It timed out for me. I'll try again later.
If I don't get to donate, I'll buy you a vindaloo or something when I see you up there.
Happy New Year!

So I'm totally there, and there need not be any arguments about me putting Drupal before my children!
sponsorship
Hey we got major sponsors for DrupalCamp, I was told by Marmalade Soul that all us state reps who did work would get free tickets? is this not the case?
DrupalCamp
Hi Aimee,
I am not a part of the committee so I cannot help you with this. The post I submitted is only about a helping a friend of mine to find a suitably qualified developer with about 3 years of experience in Drupal. It would be great if you can refer this onto someone that would fit this role.
Cheers

Hi Scott, I think you're referring to a different thread.

Hi amaree
That might be the case although, AFAIK, I didn't draw any sponsors.
I decided not to single out DrupalDownunder organizers about sponsorship/free tickets as that effectively cuts into their bottom line.
Glad you can make it wont be the same without you :D
sime,
You have done so much for Drupal in Australia, would not be the same without you. So i will sponsor you a couple of beer rounds for sure :D
