Re: Promoting Gnome Foundation trough sponsored people

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

I agree that blog posts should be mandatory. If we didn't require it before we approved, we should strongly encourage.

At least one of the sponsors specifically asked me to encourage people to blog the event. (In particular, they wanted to see the benefit of the co-located Akademy/GUADEC.)

Just two ideas:

Besides the sponsorship given (travel airfare and/or accommodation), we
could give to sponsored people a nice Gnome t-shirt with a legend such
as: "I'm attending to this conference thanks to Gnome Foundation" (or
something better).

Baris told me that Linux Foundation has a similar policy.

It is a way to promote Gnome Foundation, and makes people aware about
the effort we are doing and how we are working together in our project.

A trip report from all sponsored attendees is a must IMO - not just about the fun times they had during late night partying, but also identifying the sessions they thought were interesting, the trends coming out of the conference, or any other detail that would be interesting enough for external media people to pick up.
