Async is now sponsored by the Guardian!
We are extremely chuffed and humbled to have been given a sponsorship by The Guardian, one of the most widely news sites on the Web. The newspaper is unique in being not-for-profit, at the forefront of global data journalism and by supporting developer partnerships via its innovative Open Platform service for embedded applications.
The Guardian is giving Async £500 for the first three months of 2011, which we plan to use to cover the travel costs of speakers from beyond Brighton and to purchase useful titbits of equipment. Thank you to The Guardian for your heartfelt support.
