NB. this is being written on an aircraft, all information could be superseded, I have no idea.
Attached is some language reworking that I've done on the plane, some of it still needs fixing up and tweaking and none of it has been checked for spelling. Comments follow...

I was just thinking that perhaps there are too many sponsorship packages being offered here. With cornerstone, diamond, platinum, gold, silver, bronze, a bags sponsor and an "At-A-Glance" sponsor (which I think we really need to rename) this may be too many, with not enough distinction between each of the levels. I defer here to anyone with actual experience in gaining corporate sponsorship. Incidently, the right hand sidebar on page 5 seems disconnected from the rest of the information. How does this relate to the rest of the information on this page? Page 4 is probably worth keeping in some form, as otherwise we are not actually giving corporates who don't know us (or whose managers don't know us) a reason to give us any money. This means that we actually have to provide some really compelling reasons. If we don't have a good list of compelling reasons already that we can't write one or two paragraphs on a piece then we need to brainstorm on some. While compiling this list, we should realise (to paraphrase Jeff Waugh) that freedom of source is a bonus feature and should not be used as a compelling reason for why people should support GUADEC and GNOME. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
