I've been doing some into to linux/web development workshops at my hackerspace lately, would you guys every be interested in sponsoring one with some DO credits? (Like the first month free or something?).

Also, I have some bad feedback for you (sorry). We ran a workshop last night, and during the workshop, everybody signed up for an account (about 15 people at once). Presumably because we were all connecting from the same place, people started getting "fraud alert" (or whatever you guys were calling it) problems, and had to do additional steps to verify their accounts.

One guy actually had somebody asking for his passport (wat?), and then for links to his social media profiles. That seems EXTREMELY skeezy. It also ground the workshop more-or-less to a halt.

Is there somebody that I can talk to in advance next time so that the same thing doesn't happen again?

Sorry to hear that. That does sound incredibly frustrating. Send me an email at [e-mail] We can discuss how DO can support your hackerspace, and I can take a deeper look into why you got caught up in our verification process.
