Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC sponsor brochure: GNOME.Asia pack

William:

Overall this looks great.  However, I do find a couple of things a bit
confusing.  The term "GNOME.Asia pack" only appears once in the
brochure and it isn't clear to mean what it means.

The website provides very little information about GNOME.Asia.  Don't
you think we should minimally say where and when it will be and a
URL and contact for more information?  A sentence or two about
the fact that GNOME.Asia is cool would be good.  We could highlight
that it is pushing GNOME and GNOME into new markets, and this year into
tech savvy Hong Kong.   The growing Asian market is probably
particularly interesting to many potential sponsors.

It seems a bit weird that the text explains that people can sponsor
GNOME.Asia by itself if they want, but the "Sponsorship Application
Form" does not provide any checkboxes for this option, nor does the
text tell you what to do or who to contact.

My first impression was that the brochure was telling me that if I
paid $12,000 for the "Platinum" GNOME.Asia sponsorship (which I
thought meant GNOME.Asia package) that I could pay 5,000 euro more to
get Platinum GUADEC sponsorship.  But this does not sound like what
you describe below.

Why is there no foot in some of the GNOME.Asia rows?  Why do you not
become a "Coffee break" sponsor at any sponsorship level?  How much
do people have to spend to be this kind of sponsor?

It also is a bit awkward that GNOME.Asia is in USD ($) while GUADEC is
in Euro.  Not sure this is relaly a problem, but it does seem odd.
Maybe it would be better to show the numbers in both currencies.
