## How is this possible?

## Who is behind this?
The inception of SquatConf was at [LXJS](http://2014.lxjs.org/). It was a great conference, and the organisation did an amazing job, and after the final day of the event we ended up with [dominictarr](https://github.com/dominictarr), [joates](https://github.com/joates) and [I](https://github.com/gorhgorh) talking about autonomous self driving boats when this idea came to life. Now the idea matured and some folks ([mmalecki](https://github.com/mmalecki), [nathan7](https://github.com/nathan7), [no9](https://github.com/no9), [substack](https://github.com/substack), ...) are in the loop now.

## Okay, so you're a bunch of idealists, running a 10-people conference in a dump.
What you'll get out of SquatConf is in the end exactly what you want to put into SquatConf.

- Tickets will be donation-based. You want a cheap conference? Give us nothing. You want food? Contribute.
- This won't be a 400-people event, but do you *need* that many people?
