Well, the main idea was to have exclusivities (one
unique sponsor) and opportunities (several can ask
them level of sponsoring).

Yet it would be nice to have major (main page) and
minor (on the side) prososition of sponsoring, at
pricing level, more and more affordable low level of
sponsoring. That's why I think we should keep silver
and bronze for instance. Maybe with other name, but
Plastic Package is not really appealing ;-)

I think we should allow sponsor to make counter
proposition and state it so that they actually know
it. I reflected this idea in the form.

I've join a new proposition with prices in Euro.

Original / Alternate teasers :

The Conerstone Sponsor Package is an exclusivity that
gives you
top billing to all attendees before, during, and after
the event, and
premium advertising and exhibit placement at the
event,
solidifying your company's leader-ship position in the
Gnome Community.

The Diamond sponsors warrant themself top
communication coverage by associate them with the
GUADEC event,
assuring that way their position as a major actor in
the Gnome Comunity.

The platinum sponsors distinguish from competition by
using our comunication chanel to widely reach the
Gnome
Comunity. It's your occasion to promote your brand and
give it high visibility.

The Gold package is a great opportunity to increase
your visibility and associate your Brand to the Gnome
project


Altenately, sidebar could be dedicated to social event
sponsoring.

I can't agree more. I'll work on it tonigh.

/me evil hat on

That said,
>From tomorrow night, 24h GMT,
I'll start to be anal en refuse changes as the
Brochure
will enter in feature freeze.

>From saturday night, 24h GMT,
Brochure will enter in string freeze.

:-D

Be aware, COMMENT NOW OR SHUT UP FOR ETERNITY !!!

Why are they attending ?

To see an easy to use and modern desktop environment for UNIX in action
and evaluate how it can be used to improve the architectures of their Information
System, how others have applied it to solve their corporate problems, reducing
costs and risks. GNOME is the desktop of choice for industry leaders like IBM,
HP, and Sun. Governments in places as diverse as Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the US,
Extremadura, Spain, and Beijing, China, have selected GNOME for their desktops.

To review Gnome Aplication and Solutions currently available on the market offer
and determine how they will fill their need or find out new working flow granted
by application integration.

To understand and learn more about the Gnome multi-languages Application
Development Framework. The Gnome Application Development Framework (GADF? :-D)
 provides an excellent framework for building applications and include
libraries to create graphical user interfaces, high-level components for
creating applications with a uniform look and feel, a fast and thin CORBA ORB,
and miscellaneous functions for handling configuration files. GADF also
provides libraries for handling XML data and HTTP connections. More importantly,
GNOME provides functionality that free software systems have lacked for a long
time, like a component architecture and a printing and font framework.

Field of interest

desktop / administration
network / internet / mobile & wireless
development
office tools / databases

Main activities of attendees :

Computier manufacturer
IT distributor/reseller
IT publishers/services
IT Consultant
Industry
