Hi, I've started giving access to the Qt Contributors Summit budget to the companies that have shown an interesting in sponsoring the event. Ketil, Patrick, Gøril and other usual suspects in the Qt partners network will reach you sooner or later, but if you read this before just reply to me and we can get started.
The site can be found at http://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2012/wiki The casual but hopefully effective approach we are taking for this Qt Project community event is to share all the budget information between potential sponsors. This way you can see in real time what expenses are we planning to have and how we plan to cover them. There is a "Sponsorship packages" sheet where the 4 sponsorship levels are described. It goes from S to XL, from 1.500€ almost any company contributing to Qt can afford to 20k-40k for someone like Nokia (and perhaps another company willing to sponsor at the same level, we'll see). Sponsorship packages can give you invitations to the event. This is also a way for corporate Qt users (but not contributors at this point) to get one or more passes and support the event at the same time. Expecting a budget of around 80.000€ (10k going for sponsoring travel of independent developers) and 225 participants, these are the best numbers we came up with. If you have suggestions to improve the budget or the packages do let us know. As you see, your role for this event is more of a community participant than a simple sponsor. We can keep this discussion over email or with a call, as you prefer. Thank you very much in advance for your interest supporting Qt Contributors Summit! -- Quim _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
