Note +AD4 +AD4APg that everything under +ACI-The Sponsor process+ACI in the wiki page plugs under +AD4 +AD4APg my text. +AD4 +AD4APg +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 - Local team (Parag, Bharath and myself) still feels that we should have +AD4 +AD4 soft deadline like March 10, 2011 for key sponsors. We should at least +AD4 +AD4 come to know about first three key sponsors (Platinum, Gold and Silver) +AD4 +AD4 by this time line other wise it will be a big problem to fund the event. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 From document +AFs-1+AF0, we would like to add below content. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Important Dates +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo Sponsorship Decision: Mar 10, 2011 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo Logo Receipt: Mar 14, 2011 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo Banners: Mar 14, 2011 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo Event Begins: Mar 28, 2011 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo Event Ends: Apr 2, 2011 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 There is no hard deadline for the sponsors. An early decision would help +AD4 +AD4 us include and market the sponsors better on the printed material and to +AD4 +AD4 the media. +AD4 +AD4 I'm not sure I understand the question/comment. This text is from the +AD4 original document, i didn't change anything there. What actually means +AD4 +ACI-Sponsorship Decision+ACI? from who and about what? Is it a hard deadline +AD4 or do you mean it's a mistake that needs fixing? The above content i just copied from the proposed sponsorship doc. I thought you have proposed to remove the above content so just wanted to make things clear. There is no mistake in the content. Thanks for the writeup, hope we will reach +ACQ-60K target. Thanks, Akhil +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 The local team would start printing the marketing material by Mar 14 and +AD4 +AD4 would love to have the logos of all the sponsors handy by then. The +AD4 +AD4 deadline is also to be sure we do not miss on some funding the travel +AD4 +AD4 for some international speakers +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AFs-1+AF0 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/CallForSponsors +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 That's all from my side and i am perfectly fine with committee's +AD4 +AD4 decision in future. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4
