We're delighted to announce that Bytemark — who were the main sponsor of the festival in 2015 — have once again lent their support and helped to make the festival possible, by coming on board this year as a silver sponsor.

For those unfamiliar with Bytemark, they are a most excellent hosting provider and also one with an unwavering commitment to open source. In their own words:

Bytemark have built Cloud Servers that grow since 2002. You can attach memory, processors and discs when you need them, so scaling is easy. Our secret to high uptime: we built our own data centre, developed all our own software (lots of Go) and answer the phone from our York HQ. So you can write more features, get more sleep, and spend less time on operations. Start with a free trial, then from £10/month.
