infrastructure. Minimising the executable size of services and cutting down
complexity is crucial to help people to understand the technology.
Rewards (in terms of shirts, money, stickers, retreat attendance) will be given
to contributors from the open source community.
Experience in developing and deploying the technology itself will be reflected
on in academic papers, and talks at workshops and conferences.

the public.
Rewards (in terms of shirts, money, stickers, hardware, retreats) for
contributors of the open source community are part of the funding plan.
Academic papers and talks at workshops and technical conferences will be
