I work at #Grafana and persuaded my marketing team to sponsor #emfcamp ... I was speaking to #Antithesis and also persuaded them to sponsor EMF Camp.

@dee usually, not a fan of these kinds of draws... But, heck, YOLO
@KasTasMykolas oh I hate these things, but I can't think of a better way to give away tickets, and also reducing bias from myself. So this is less marketing and more about fairness, the antithesis mention is only because they paid for this stuff so that feels fair too
Good luck

Result... EMF Camp have a load of money, and I have more tickets than I need = a good problem.
Antithesis have given me 2 tickets and 1 car park pass to EMF Camp to give away, for free, with zero expectation of anything... also I have maybe 1 spare Grafana sponsor ticket... but how to do this?
Well here's Antithesis https://antithesis.com/ just for FYI, it's like a simulation testing fuzzer... runs your containers and fuzzes them amongst other things. Grafana you already know. That's the entire marketing pitch for both.
Anyone who both boosts and likes this post by 12:00 UTC on Thursday 7th May... those people will be entered into a random draw and I will give those people tickets. If someone does not reply within an hour of me notifying them, I'll move on to the next person, etc until all the tickets I hold are gone.
Yay to EMF Camp https://www.emfcamp.org/ which is July 16th– 19th 2026 in Eastnor, UK.

Can you talk to whoever keeps borking dashboard panels to stop cutting functionality?
I want full size and placement control over dashboard panels, and in later versions you can't even use CSS...
"security" is no excuse. Graphana dashboards look shit with the auto alignment and silly rules.
Full panel control please.

@dee ahhh so that’s how antithesis happened!! Thank you very much for driving both sponsorships
-
We spent £10k on sponsoring and all we got was a fedi post
@dee and extremely rad and cool sponsorship benefits that others should definitely follow your lead in purchasing

@joenash I drove the Grafana one as I feared I would be in a meeting when the ticket sales happened (I would've). The Antithesis one happened over dinner with their CRO. There's still time for me to bug Tailscale
I don't know how people at this level are supposed to behave, but in my mind you spend it on fun nerdy things like supporting emfcamp

@dee definitely correct behaviour! (Huge Tailscale fan, I’ll keep a tier warm for them

@dee your company is horrible. Please don't ask them to sponsor anything ever again.
@stonykark @dee any particular reason?
