Memorial Day Donations, Admiral Richard Gaskell, Sustaining Subscriptions
Memorial Day donations included a tribute to the late Admiral Richard T. Gaskell, whose navigation slide rule was previously gifted to one of the hosts. The segment emphasized the importance of "sustaining donations" (subscriptions) in providing a financial base for the show during difficult economic times.
Donation Segment Rules, Associate Executive Producers
The hosts clarify the rules for the donation segment, explaining that only notes from Executive Producers ($300+) and Associate Executive Producers ($200+) are guaranteed to be read on air. This policy was implemented to prevent the show from being overwhelmed by long notes from smaller donors. They emphasize that the system provides a fair feedback mechanism for the community.
Executive Producer Rules, Sir Dave Hoffman, 11-11-11 Knighting
The specific rules for achieving "Executive Producer" status are clarified, noting that the highest donor for a specific show typically receives the title. Donors contributing $333.33 or more are also granted the title. Sir Dave Hoffman is re-knighted as an "11-11-11 Knight" in recognition of his extensive support across multiple projects, including the Daily Source Code Kickstarter.
