Help the UMDF: CSS Summit 2011 Ticket Contest
As you may have heard, I’m speaking at the 2011 CSS Summit. It’s a two day CSS extravaganza with talks by some of the biggest names in CSS. I’m honored to be on the roster again to speak about Sass and Compass. The conference organizer was nice enough to provide me with TWO free tickets so I’ve decided to give them away in an effort to raise awareness for the UMDF, a non profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for mitochondrial disorders and supporting families of those affected by this crippling, terminal illness that affects my father and 1 of every 4,000 children born in the United States.
So here’s how this works. We’re going to have a fundraising drive that ends at 11:59 Pacific time on Saturday July 23nd. The two people whose guess is closest to the actual amount raised (over or under) will get a free ticket. Please tweet a link to this page to your followers with the following format:

I’ve made it easy for you. Just click: Tweet
Then, please consider donating whatever you can afford to this great cause. You do not have to donate in order to win. You only get one guess (the first one). I will announce the winners on Sunday July 24th.
About Me
I am an open source hacker and stylesheet architect at LinkedIn. I live in San Jose, California with my wife and daughter.
Open Source
I'm the creator of Compass, a stylesheet authoring framework and I'm on the core team of Sass — the stylesheet syntax upon which Compass is built. I maintain about a dozen less well known ruby libraries and rails plugins on github, and am an active contributor of patches to the many open source projects that I use.
