Hi, During the last GUADEC committee IRC meeting, there was quite a bit of discussion about potential perks to offer sponsors. Here's a summary, and my take on them.
1. Free passes I know some sponsors would expect at least some free passes in return for sponsorship. If attendance is free, like the last DS, this is moot. 2. A special dinner or party with key GNOME contributors A "selling point" for sponsors is informal networking with decision-makers and influencers in the community. From that perspective, I would prefer a party to a sit-down dinner. 3. Sponsorship level bump I think it would be challenging to say exactly how many previous GUADECs a sponsor would need to have sponsored to earn this. 4. Discounts on sponsorship amounts I like the idea of a 6% discount for previous sponsors which would go to 10% if the sponsor increased their level compared to last time, and opening this to all previous sponsors.
