OK, I've spoken to Josette at o'Reilly. The bad news is that because we're clashing with GUADEC, she can't come to EuroPython. The good news is that we've talked out a solution, and if we can give o'Reilly publicity and help them sell books, then we get their sponsorship: * badge holders and lanyards * discount to EP delegates on o'Reilly books * link to europython.org from o'Reilly gmt Normally Josette would have a stand to sell books, but as she can't make it we have two options: 1. We find someone to man an o'Reilly stand and sell books, in return for a percentage. That someone would have a very boring time. 2. We provide a stand with a sample of books for people to see. They can then order books with an EP promotional code and get their discount. EP gets a percentage and the sample books for draw prizes or auction. Option 2 sounds good to me. Josette is replying to an email from Laura to this effect. I am seeing Josette next week if anythings needs discussing: let me know if you have any queries.
