Re: [guadec-list] [Reminder] GUADEC committee meeting on 16 January 2012 UTC 16:00

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi,

Past sponsors not on the advisory board and former advisory board 
members include the likes of HP, Supersonic Imagine, Fluendo, TI, AMD, 
Linux Foundation, Lanedo, ACCESS, LiMo, Mandriva (could try Mageia), and 
Openismus.

Other potential sponsors, related to recent strategic moves, would be 
Samsung (we would need to make a case for the relevance of GUADEC to 
Tizen), ST Micro, Freescale, Qualcomm (or QuIC), (for all of these we 
need to strengthen our ARM story), CodeThink.

Further afield: Bull, Linux Mint, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Fujitsu, LG, and 
others who are distributing GNOME somehow.

Typically for sponsors, we have, in the past 2-3 years, preferred a 
model where we think holistically about how much money we ask companies 
for during the year, through the board, and have the Executive Director 
handle these relationships. Stormy did this in the past, and I'm sure 
she would help Karen out in doing the same again this year.

Cheers,
Dave.
