To the Houston Perl Mongers group, There was some mention in a past posting of putting together a YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) Sponsorship package with information about how to sponsor and what is expected of a sponsor; that sort of thing.
I have just heard back from my sponsorship queries here at Boeing. Unfortunately, YAPC sponsorship does not fit the criteria of Community Relations. But it turns out that if I can build a good business case, which would have to involve Houston Boeing's main customer, NASA, then there is a chance of Boeing sponsorship under Business Development. Obviously, most any company would want to be able to benefit from sponsorship. Thus I must ask if anyone knows if there is any or any potential NASA involvement in this YAPC conference. Frankly, I doubt there is, but it doesn't hurt to ask, unless just raising the topic is somehow wrong. NASA involvement might mean NASA sponsorship, or key NASA people involved and/or speaking. I'd be pleasantly surprised if NASA, except for a few developers, is even aware of YAPC. Know about any (potential) involvement of other NASA contractors? A sponsorship package, with monetary details, would also help build my case for Boeing sponsorship. Thanks much, -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- Wayne A.
