Sponsoring NixCon 2020
NixCon is a volunteer run community conference that depends on sponsorship to happen. And it runs on NixOS!
2020 is and has been a challenging year for many. NixCon is online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual experiences cannot substitute for in-person interactions. We are aiming to simulate the good parts. The perks reflect that by being digitally-focused.
The NixOS Foundation is our fiscal host this year.

Read-Out
A "read-out" is a spoken script up-to 60 seconds of read-time. You can describe all the important aspects of your company however you like. You may record this and provide a digital file, or the NixCon MC will pre-record a reading. The read-out will broadcast during the live stream spaced out in between talks.
Pick-a-perk
Platinum limits: We're not exactly sure how to define this. One example of a perk that would not be approved is buying a talk slot.
