Same will apply: a donation for wikipedia.
I've dealt with Jimbo for the MySQL Users Conference a few years ago,  
and we made a suitable arrangement.
He is a good speaker and interesting person.

"we" may not be the target audience for his gigs above.
Sad he's not visiting Brisbane though, I wonder who planned his  
itinerary... (/me tosses him an email)

Regards,
Arjen.
