-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello,
As we all want to make our meetings more effective, here's a status report for Quito's bid for DebConf 11. We spent 10 days 'hitting street' and we have good news around. Several people have already joined the local team. Last week we invested some time looking for prospective sponsors. Of course, since we have a year ahead, we don't expect to have a strong commitment yet. We wrote a very preliminar 'sponsor pack for bidders' and we sent this to prospective sponsors in academia and private companies, looking for: (a) venue sponsors, (b) connectivity sponsors and (c) general funding. We also cited past sponsorpacks, such as DC8's and DC9's, which are all excellent material. Kudos to the localteams! This was very effective. We got confirmation of 352 beds and two big universities on walking distance of the beds (UDLA and EPN) sent their preliminary sponsor commitment. This also allowed us to lock our RC1 Budget (we already got a Draft) and we believe this also rounds any sharp edge left from our bid. We'll be delighted to detail this and address any issue in our meeting. Thanks and see you in a while, - -- José Miguel Parrella Romero (bureado.com.ve) PGP: 0×88D4B7DF Debian Developer Caracas, VE/Quito, EC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJLfEtnAAoJEMAyQqmI1LffoOUP/jAkQHZUhEuAsxf0ZUH0G4Xx Nx/YcGaxFOayIBXM08ow3ey3AqZzknQzYak1zMfu79kJFVPhSkn6AMdYPt/ZcfSZ Tqegi7tL1D/gymlK/2o5AM+16RKzczowF0GvhUKv9SXFDRVJLZpUsdNVRWpJG15P l3ERAQFLL6vGB2GOIn9X3weoNeX5FXZOde0AXjJy+KwPJTd/SZYTiMXXRFwvzmIn lnYmEv/A/MrVGqO+EvwSA5QjLhcsIfxxHusglHzSCbTYQRTwFUxcfYDLLaauBklr Nj/oY9IUtPRIQh2zeI+lNLHe5hYyQhU0iMXVgLvU1pIXcot+j4kdyONMQQ3qimf8 Fl7JMx8m4zKtHs2WXW7KXhDtyhaxNB5OfjV7+YsmjmJR4D3FfDH/iX/hLUCb63CH wGeXnBop4jgTYbnEfiHjOf9QkM+5xsTx3mvtAlQ27J27/0k3t/L10JA5oA5slKO6 U6bpMxS794juuNiKgZAcO4C7B4mMSkQ204S23N+pvZkcvgoAY7YhmwXWzR+XHXsl 6gYk8X/pZ6GvoxEedLlgaf0aUliJ9wkK0TmgmzJgXw93dakRl6R3q6Dn0KYqK9NM oGa8+7FWVnLe2zRSDp/49IRmVHIRMT2/u41JNlKJaYPcax2lGXvRXZow625qmwKw cfQFhFsm38USU9s+H8pA =3Z70 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Espiral mailing list [email protected] http://debian.ec/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/espiral
