Yet another way that ATO 2020 will differ from past years is that we're giving attendees an opportunity to win some truly amazing prizes while at the event. We've always done giveaways featuring shirts, books, etc. but we've never done anything like this.

In short, attendees will accumulate points while attending ATO 2020 and being active on the site, and points will be displayed on a leaderboard. You can accumulate points for things like attending sessions, chatting with other attendees, watching videos, and generally being active. Basically, what you would be doing anyway.  Our goal is to make the conference as engaging and fun as possible with it being a virtual environment.

While more information is forthcoming on the leaderboard and points component, please find below a short list of items attendees can win. A lot of thought went into the list as these are items we ourselves would want to own.

Be sure to register today if you haven't already, and be on the lookout for more information soon on this aspect of the event.

System76 Lemur Pro

Mechanical Keyboards

Like everyone else, we're a fan of mechanical keyboards. We'll make a few available at ATO 2020:

Linux Compatible Mini PC

A mini PC that is Linux compatible? Yep.

Raspberry Pi Desktop Kits

We'll make all three versions available - 2GB, 4GB and 8 GB

Adafruit Kits

We'll make multiple MetroX Classic kits available

Uninterruptible Power

Something we often think about, but very seldom follow through on and purchase. If you win, you won't have to. This was an amazing suggestion from our good friend Christine Hall at FOSS Force.

The Art of Computer Programming Boxed Set, by Donald Knuth

What serious programmer wouldn't want this boxed set on their bookshelf? We feel the set is beautifully packaged and the content is truly incredible. A work of art.
