Pshaw. With all the high-powered tech companies headquartered in Boston, like Digital, Wang, and Thinking Machines, we should have no trouble getting sponsorship. More seriously, the Toronto approach of find out the cost and have a backup dinner/auction plan if no sponsorship comes through, seems correct. (Or have the auction pay for the cruise! No one leaves this boat until we sell these 10 copies of "Master Perl 6 in 36 Hours, Unleashed!") --kag _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
