It’s great to see System76 using Elixir!
Although I’m a Mac user myself I know that quite a few of our members are fans of System76 laptops …hence wondering whether you could organise a special discount for the Elixir community? 
No problem if you can’t, just thought it was worth a shot

Hey Aston,
I don’t have the authority to say yes, but it might be a good way to drum up some interest in the position we have open. I doubt it’s doable but I’ll talk to our head of Sales and see what he thinks. Thanks for the good idea!

Not to mention an exciting** opportunity for someone. System76 is doing great work.
** ‘exciting’: actually exciting. As opposed to its typical use in the tech world (“dull, pointless, probably bad for the world”).
