I live in Europe, but airfare and hotel would bump the cost of admission up too much.
I currently don't work at a tech company, so the salary there - or employer-paid expense - would definitely improve my chances. :)
Can't do much about the travel but I can definitely give you a discounted ticket and I'm sure you could find someone in the local community to couchsurf!
That's really kind, but I'll try to catch you guys next time instead. ;)
