(resend of the mail I sent to gugmasters-list) Postnote: we could do with getting requests in quickly - if your local group needs money this year, or you have a great idea for something that could use a few quid sponsorship to do with GNOME, please pipe up by the end of next week.
Hi all, The board is working on a budget for the foundation for the year, and we're looking for suggestions for things which user groups are organising and would like financial assistance with. I would like to see some brainstorming here on general things which we could do to help user groups in general (like the event box, getting some big posters and t-shirts printed and sent out to groups on demand, that kind of thing) but also specific information on the events that you're planning, and the amount of help you would like to get from the foundation (and our sponsors, of course). A good proposal will be accompanied with a fairly detailed breakdown of costs - for example, if you want to invite a GNOME advocate to give a keynote at a local conference, an estimate of the cost of the plane ticket, and a short description of the conference, would be appreciated. If you want sponsorship for a local event, then some idea what the money will be used for will be needed. Open mic! Jump on in. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
