Do you have a "pitch" for sponsors? E.g. what's in it for them, a summary of results of previous hackathons, what they get for various donation levels? If you do, I could approach a company in NYC that has indicated they're looking for ways to support "the community". I think they're mostly looking for publicity to help with hiring, so a French conference doesn't help directly, but the hackathon gets blogged about a lot and if we ask people blogging to credit/thank the sponsors, maybe we can make the publicity bump more interesting to them. -- David
