That link doesn't work for me right now.
Does the brochure outline how much different levels of sponsorship cost?
Point very much taken about historical record of similar organisations, but
maybe if we give them a chance they will come up trumps.
I would imagine that the sums we're talking about are trivial to Xtian's
organisation, it's more a question of overcoming apathy and administrivia.
Financial organisations aren't (to my understanding) tremendously engaged in the
technical communities (due partly, I think, to an atmosphere of proprietary
secrecy.) so this is where the apathy comes from. But if we have an agent on the
inside like Xtian then maybe we could overcome this.
Just my $0.02

Hi,
2009/5/11 Michael Foord <[email protected]>:
I've approached a friend who works at BATS Trading about EuroPython
sponsorship.
Does anyone have a pithy reply or brochure I can send to them?
The hi-res and lo-res brochures are available for download at
http://www.brumpy.net/ep2009/
Unfortunately the record of organisations who make a lot of money
using Python in supporting Python is not good.
Best wishes,
John

Hey, I just asked my boss about this, he said he's not that
interested. Since we're not a software company, the only real value is
recruiting, and we're not recruiting at the moment. Sorry!
He did ask how much it would cost and what sponsors get, though (I
guess he might be alright with supporting the community if it's not
too much). Could you tell me that? I'll pass it on to him.
