Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC and GNOME.Asia Sponsor Brochure

[William from Texas <williamfromtexas gmail com>]

Hi All

After GUADEC's meeting last Monday I didn't have a chance to make
comparisons between the Terms & Conditions. I did though add the
number of Pro-level vouchers that each sponsor would receive on the
package tables. Our designer also made cover changes.

This is a new draft of the GUADEC sponsor brochure:

Here a zip of files that I'm working with:

At our meeting there was also talk about extra vouchers and VIP travel
costs for Ad Board members who sponsored, but I wasn't sure where or
how this should be codified into the sponsor brochure. A new column in
the package tables, like "+ Ad Board Membership = +2 vouchers, +VIP
travel costs"? A side section? A Term & Condition?

Best
William
