$200 either. (I realize you said $200 in _addition_ to the usual $125,

I think $200 is about the max that seems okay to me, but $200 does.

Hey Susan,
Sweet! Language. Information. Social niceties.
Here is the link to the 2012 sponsor page.

There seems to be discussion on expanding options for sponsorship, but the
options on the page are standard.

Before we professionalized our events, we had a competitive system
like C4L. That was fine as long as we had one solid proposal. In 2008,
the only proposal for out European event was from Szeged, Hungary,
near the borders with Romania and Serbia, and a long way

has the sole purpose of recognizing the sponsors. A link to the sponsor page
would be provided at the top of the conference page. This would be

It is probably a good time to move this to a newer version, perhaps
Drupal 7, if for no other reason than security. The only downside is
that the theme would either need to be recreated or change. No biggy,
really.
