Dear PSC, I would like to lauch some concrete sponsoring for the GRASS Community Sprint in Prague in May 2011. I am sure that we could apart from community members also companies and institutional sponsors to support this and future events.
So far there only limited donations could be collected but we never forced that not advertised the idea. An interesting "addon" is the fact that the GFOSS.it associations *doubles* donations up to a certain limit. I admit that I was not aware of this till the recent Italian GRASS-GFOSS conference in Trento. So, let's use that, too! In my opinion the yet low rate of donations is caused by the lack of concrete targets - why should money be donated... But now we have a concrete goal, the support of this event. Before writing official announcements we should clarify how support could look like - "upon request" to get the travel to Prague co-funded or in-kind support by paying lunches or whatever to the participants? Please post your suggestions! Best, Markus _______________________________________________ grass-psc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc
