ORG Raffle!

Michael Holloway, 21 March 2007

Update #3: Raffle is now closed! See you tonight!

Update #2: Less than 24 hours now until we close the raffle (tomorrow, noon), so get buying your tickets!

Update: more prize donations - signed copies of Lawrence Lessig's Code v2 and Andrew Gowers' Review of IP, and £150 worth of O'Reilly vouchers!

Oh you lucky, lucky people... here comes the inaugural ORG raffle! Tickets are £2.50 each and make excellent Easter gifts.

Gaiman and keyboard

Prizes include Neil Gaiman's (signed) keyboard, a signed copy of Bruce Schneier's Beyond Fear, a set of a dozen Beatpick compilations and a couple of extra special Doctorow donations: a signed author's galley of his next novel, Little Brother (forthcoming in 2008), and the opportunity to be written into it!

We'll make the draw as part of our spectacular 'Support ORG! (and Party)' 11 April event. All advance purchases (we'll close the paypal interface an hour or two before the party) will be assigned a paper ticket, then added together with tickets sold on the night for the grand draw, to be selected by our yet-to-be-disclosed special guest.

And if you haven't registered to attend Support ORG! (and Party) yet, get to it!

What’s more, we’ve got even more treats to add to the ORG raffle - a signed copy of Code 2.0 from Lawrence Lessig, £150 in O’Reilly book vouchers and… wait for it… a signed copy of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property! But remember, you don’t get a chance to win anything, if you don’t buy a ticket (£2.50 each - available now via Paypal or on the night for cold, hard cash). [...]

Yes you can. As noted in the post above, advance purchases will be assigned a number in the draw, so will be treated just as if you had purchased on the night. Absent winners will be notified asap (Thursday). We have now sold 200+ tickets!
