Hello everyone, The sponsorship team (getting sponsors, not allocating money) team had a meeting this afternoon. I chaired again. In summary, we are getting close (especially with our new budget draft).
One topic for discussion: when should the next sponsorship team meeting be? Thanks, - Richard Meetbot logs are restricted due to specific amounts being discussed. ========== * Budget - Min. 69k €, see http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf9/Budget - Travel sponsorship is 13k of the 69k (though more is better) - TOTAL: we *need* EUR 69K (minimum) * Current agreed sponsorship - h01ger goes through list with Ganneff as contact - Specific sponsors are listed in sponsors-table in debconf-team svn. - 18k$ left over from DC8 - TOTAL agreed upon so far: we have ~ 54k €, including .ar leftovers * Contacting previous sponsors - List of other organizations. - Nokia is likely, unclear how much more. - Hydroxide soon commits stockholm's old list of sponsors, people can look through to see who they can contact. * Contacting other potential sponsors - See Hydroxide's list of potential sponsors above. - Plenty other potentials are in the table, if we find contacts at them... * Contacting potential sponsors in Spain - anto had a list of 5-10 and will try to contact them. - Other people working on this welcome ;) * What realistically achievable? (Need to look at cutting costs?) - Deficit is within the range of attendees' fees. - But look at budget page for some assumptions that have been made, e.g. not paying for day trip. This could increase the amount we need. - 'Sponsorship' from existing Debian funds? * Sponsor asked for a booth for the whole Debconf week - During openday is fine, else useless - h01ger replies to sponsor * Deadlines - Sponsorship deadline May 31st -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - lefschetz: up 70 days, 18:55 | http://rkd.zgib.net (gchat at my email address) | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
