-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello,
As we all want to make our meetings more effective, here's a status report for Quito's bid for DebConf 11. We spent 10 days 'hitting street' and we have good news around. Several people have already joined the local team. Last week we invested some time looking for prospective sponsors. Of course, since we have a year ahead, we don't expect to have a strong commitment yet. We wrote a very preliminar 'sponsor pack for bidders' and we sent this to prospective sponsors in academia and private companies, looking for: (a) venue sponsors, (b) connectivity sponsors and (c) general funding. We also cited past sponsorpacks, such as DC8's and DC9's, which are all excellent material. Kudos to the localteams! This was very effective. We got confirmation of 352 beds and two big universities on walking distance of the beds (UDLA and EPN) sent their preliminary sponsor commitment. This also allowed us to lock our RC1 Budget (we already got a Draft) and we believe this also rounds any sharp edge left from our bid. We'll be delighted to detail this and address any issue in our meeting. Thanks and see you in a while, - -- José Miguel Parrella Romero (bureado.com.ve) PGP: 0×88D4B7DF Debian Developer Caracas, VE/Quito, EC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJLfFFgAAoJEMAyQqmI1Lff6zIP/1x3z01Q4UhrUcKiearkjo5c uQpLUzjau24taHmRvO4OGz5HD+JNoiy2SrzQO3RPhbF0dC6+G1jy1Yvub8ClW9JB 1fllxuKfkb6JxBnvFvJzZ0OqbwrLHGZ+NGrWFVKQlATPrQDj/LL+elFSrwCKIgDI meKZ8CDAxKudK1+58TKOON5jOFl5J11gH4rMRR6aUXmWO0tldtuhCBeGHmIezV/T m4Ywd52bJ6d6ko2cyDP2PeaCkKXh86eyh46tj7KvpM/FNmPNSa9wlWhjLDGblMAr 4of+t41GjnExSq4L6lhuI0SLYNXYY54Dt35Ahrnj32K2BZ6SLmE4D72tnu/ZXhQb VfbBUfkqmkpzaEKsJ5qIy5fKykXxoBXhVi1n2qv7MJMnO2rSgMLhpck5Jfq7P5/V /flUzOAXIzqfCiVr21EvcaIqmijMCgkQHRxeLySQhkUDynR48o+GRwbJaP0MHVbZ X8OE9lzlScsmSh9KkkAHg5CT4WicXgHBascJZB+guZsNA4Sv/xF9CrhHA5VhU4ZS wUytrFa8bUQxJInKnqlXfJVwoKAg3LwoHwqjswf6Yhx0x1nY2YszCT6vZpKlZPZg KtN9qNRxIL3KjsVlw3R0avftvbvkmgjVzEOWWax0fDC86O0DIekdgK5u3STliS7P 7NXAH9vy+f3I6HIfWRBQ =BnkK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
