It&#8217;s an event held at Red Hat headquarters where the crafty folks or their spouses\/family members get a chance to sell their home goods to Red Hatters. I thought it would be a good idea to sell my book and my salsa. It turned out to be a good idea.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First, my book was primed for an open source audience. And there is no better place than the HQ of the open source leader to promote a book about Raleigh being an open source city. My goal was to sell at least 10 books, with a stretch goal of 20 books. I met my goal and sold 10 copies of the book&#8230;inching closer to 500 total copies sold. I had free &#8220;Open source all the cities&#8221; stickers and bookmarks available\u2014which turned out to be a big hit. You can score your copy at http:\/\/theopensourcecity.com\/.<\/p>\n<p>I went back and forth on selling my homemade salsa. After a record year <a title=\"Garden Report for 2013: Over 2000 Tomatoes and Peppers\" href=\"http:\/\/hibbets.net\/blog\/2013\/11\/18\/garden-report-for-2013-yield-2000-tomatoes-and-peppers\/\">in the garden<\/a>, I decided to share the fruits of my labor at the Red Hat Craft Fair. I had mango salsa, pineapple salsa, four-pepper mango salsa (4pm), and late harvest pineapple-mango salsa. I ended up selling 15 pints and sold out of the 4pm salsa. I&#8217;m glad I brought in the pints and everyone that stopped by seemed to enjoy the free samples of pineapple salsa. I might be on to something here. But with a limited supply, I&#8217;m thinking it has to be just like Beaujolais Nouveau\u2014only available around Thanksgiving and a limited supply. Hit me up if you want to purchase a pint of salsa before the season ends.<\/p>\n<p>Huge shout-out to Mike Esser for organizing and making the Red Hat Craft Fair happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, December 12, I participated in my first Red Hat Craft Fair.
