En/na Dave Neary ha escrit: >> you stand to lose out on the potential for local sponsorship, and I >> really think it's the local sponsors that benefit most from GUADEC. Due to pre-€ calculation, 6.000€ is a mental barrier for budgets in Spain (formerly 1.000.000 pesetas). 5.000€ looks affordable for (big) local organisations that won't go for sure for 10.000€, and 2.500€ look even reasonable for many SMBs, and the local free software industry is mainly based on SMBs. We also need to consider that a) 10.000€ in Spain sounds different than 10.000€ in the US or UK. We could also play with action oriented sponsorship i.e: - travel & accomodation of developers - social event - more ideas? Also - goods donation for a raffle (very usual source of income of voluntary groups at least in Spain) - like Nokia and the DreamWorks guy did, but selling 1€/5€ tokens and organising the raffle a bit better. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
