Despite the weather, August's event at JetBrains has been one of our best so far. The Russian-speaking tech community came out in strong support their JetBrains colleagues Elena and Gleb, showing great interest in the topic and enthusiasm for our fantastic friend and conference facilitator, Zsuzsanna Tamas. It's been a while since we've seen so many people stay longer after the event, sharing their gratitude in LinkedIn posts, taking photos of the presentations, lingering to chat with the speaker, and leaving outstanding feedback.
Thanks to Rashi, Tural, and Daniel.
Thanks to all Participants!
Here is Zsuzsannaโs Presentation!
๐ From Coffee Money to Community: How Small Contributions Make a Big Impact
We've been experimenting for a while with a โฌ5 "buy us a coffee" style contribution, mostly as a way for attendees to show gratitude for the amazing work from our volunteers. While โฌ5 minus Stripe, Luma, and VAT fees leaves us with roughly half the amount, it's helping us build a community of people who keep coming back and value what we're creating.
PS: We primarily use these funds for our volunteer team's quarterly dinner, where we discuss what's next.
