Hi, I'm James, but on the internet you all know me as purpleidea. I left my full-time job at Red Hat to work on open source software. I'd like to keep it that way, so if you do too, please help support me financially!

Most of my work revolves around mgmt config, a real-time, closed-loop, automation tool.

I also publish a technical blog and mentor new programmers in my spare time.

I'd like to continue this work and avoid having any part of it be proprietary, so please sponsor me today!

Thanks!
James (purpleidea)

I'll hold an online video hangout / screen-cast approximately once per month with you and the other "core brainstormers". I'll discuss what I've been hacking on, thinking about, and maybe even have new live demos! We'll discuss all the mgmt stuff you'd like, and make it the best hour of fun and hacking each month.

It will be like attending a mini-conference each month, for less than the price of a conference.

Of course you'll get everything above, even the free high-fives!

(Feel free to contact me directly instead of going through Github/Stripe and their high transaction fees.)
