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!
