Howdy. My name is Austin, and I'm a FOSS developer in the southern United States. I've worn a lot of hats, and in previous lives I did things like maintain the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, write software exploits, and work on filesystems. These days, I spend time working on version control; I also still work on the NixOS Linux distribution and Nixpkgs package set, where you'll see many of my recent FOSS contributions.

Occasionally I publish other useful utilities or middleware. These include things like Eris, minibsdiff, or libfault.

You can use this chance to give me some money.

What this gets you

Every sponsor gets:

• A feeling of solidarity and support! That rocks.
• Email access. Got a simple Haskell or Nix question? Just want to say thanks? I'll add you to a priority email list of mine (but can't guarantee super timely responses).
• Irregular email updates, maybe. I might send occasional fun updates about (new) projects or things I'm thinking about.

But remember that, no matter what: you're incredibly good looking and also my friend.

What it does not get you

These tiers explicitly do not provide any guaranteed form of support, labor, timely response, and do not constituent any notion of (but not limited to) "employment" UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. Specifics of actual directed work will be negotiated on a donor-by-donor basis. Again, unless otherwise noted, donating money in the lower tiers WILL NOT influence or change any positions on matters relating to Free Software development. No preferential treatment, expedited reviews, nada, zilch, nothing.
