We're in a reasonably healthy state right now as far as money is concerned. I think we can cover the costs. However, our margin of safety is limited and there will *always* be unexpected costs at the end. I will send out another mail later today detailing our financial condition.
Ramdas suggested that we open up an 'associate sponsor' scheme whereby companies/individuals who want to be part of the event with smaller amounts can become associate sponsors. Lower amounts like 10k are fine. Anand Pillai and Ramdas have already pitched in. Of course, associate sponsors would receive less benefits than the main guys. A logo on our site and a link their company page. No stalls and such which the premium sponsors would get. Please leverage your contacts and try to get people to become atleast associate sponsors for the conference. It would go a long way in helping the thing take off and fly. We'll rework the brochure for associate sponsors but please start conversations with potential parties.
