Noah Gibbs

As his wife I think the thing that would thrill him the most is if there could be a scholarship in his name at Ruby conferences. All the full price people can kick in an extra $10 each and then some people who otherwise wouldn't be able to go can come and learn.

His life's mission was to help people access information and learning.

@codefolio this is an excellent idea. I’m so sorry for your loss. Every interaction I had with Noah was a positive one. He was a kind soul and will be sorely missed.

@codefolio Done. Brighton Ruby will have this. Noah will be missed but remembered.

@andycroll @codefolio Thank you for making the 'Noah Gibbs Education Grant' available for everyone, not just folks buying a ticket. 👍

(I will likely not make it to #BrightonRuby but am happy to support those who would like to go but can't afford it otherwise.)

@andycroll after adding an education grant to a regular ticket purchase, it wants me to assign an identity to it, like it does the regular ticket. Known issue?

@andycroll That is really beautiful Andy, thank you so much. He would be honored.

@andycroll @codefolio do we need to do anything after buying them? It asked me to assign both tickets, but I'm assuming it's just a quirk of the setup and you guys will be notified? (I don't have a ticket for myself)
