Maybe you can add information about the irc channel, mailing list and link to 
wiki page fundraising manual [0], IMO would be useful for people who may be 
interested in support the debconf sponsors team.

Something like 

If you are interested in join our DebConf sponsors team, we invite you to 
check our Fundraising manual [0] and join our general resources (irc channel, 
git repository and mailing list) or just write an email to mailing list if you 
have any question

In the past organizations other than companies have been important
sponsors for debconf. I'm not sure of the best wording; is replacing
companies with organizations too vague?

Also the shed should be red.

Subject: DebConf14 organizing team needs your help to raise funds!
(Won't take long.)

Hello!

We are well into the planning for DebConf14 which will take place in
Portland, Oregon, USA during the 23rd-31st of August, 2014.

It looks like it is again going to be a great event and hope that
everyone can come, but to make it happen we need your help.

We are now contacting potential sponsors from all around the globe,
and need to ask all Debian contributors to think if they have an
personal connections to Debian-friendly organizations, that might be
interested in sponsoring DebConf14. This would be particularly useful
if you know of organizations that have are either new to sponsoring
Debian, or have not sponsored Debian recently.

If you can think of interested companies, please feel free to reach
out to them, and ask, or if you are not comfortable asking directly,
to contact the sponsors-team with any leads. I've included a link to
the sponsorship brochure, which is useful to explain DebConf to new
sponsors. [1]

To get in contact with the DebConf Sponsors Team, please send an email to:

  mailto:spons...@debconf.org.

On behalf of the DebConf Sponsors Team.

Cheers,
Brian
