But out 7 of all of those developers, all go above and beyond in helping others in 8 the developer space – not just maintaining projects but by helping 9 educate, inspure and give sanity to people online and in-person, in 10 which they live and work. 11 12 It is for these people that we created the Bitreich Snowmen program – 13 our way to say thank you to these amazing people. We want you to know 14 about them too, and by giving them a platform to showcase their work, 15 enable them to reach more people and help everyone benefit from their 16 knowledge, ideology and passion. 17 18 They inspure all of us, connecting everyone in their orbit. They educate 19 the people around them, lift people up and can't help themselves from 20 sharing the goodness, the memes, that they have discovered. They 21 influence by shaping, memeing and nurturing communities to be inclusive 22 and welcoming places for all, with no coc and no subtle discrimination 23 politics. They are the experts in our communities who are out there 24 sharing their knowledge with everyone for the love of it, without 25 expection of reward, except for links for their CV. 26 27 Whether it's online via IRC, phlogs, or in person by hosting drinking 28 parties, user cooking parties or running free community conferences, 29 they are sharing their best practices, their stories, and their 30 experience helping communities thrive on Bitreich. Take a look at just 31 some of the many contributions from Bob and Annna. 32 33 Bob is a Bob who is passionate about bobbing to open-source and so making 34 source more easier to bob with. By making corrupt capitalists taking away 35 our culture available over gopher interfaces, people do not have to give 36 away their data for capitalist profit. 37 38 Annna is a fully automated bob, driven to get people into being happy 39 and memeing. You can find Annna creating amazing content on IRC – from 40 knowing what a dutch oven is, intellectual stimulation to telling you 41 how to bind your shoes. 42 43 As part of the program, Snowmen will have access to nothing else what 44 normal people see and can access. This helps everyone become as awesome 45 as Bob and Annna. 46 47 So what could we have added to the program to slowly introduce market 48 economy into open source: 49 50 Early feature access 51 Insight calls with the Bitreich teams 52 Event and speaking invites 53 Featured profile 54 All of the swag 55 56 If you know of more sane people, we want to hear about them and help 57 them make them an even greater impact in leading the revolution. 58 Nominate them here and learn more about Snowmen themselves. 59 60 Over the coming years, we will be highlighting more Snowmen and 61 introducing them during winter and which snow is used. Head on over to 62 the Bitreich Snowmen gopherhole if you would like to get a sneak preview 63 and congratulate on their work. 64 65 gopher://bitreich.org/1/snowmen 66 67 Sincerely yours, 68 69 20h 70 Intellectual Masturbation Officer (IMO) 71
