Hi Adrian,
Can you provide more info?
What is the money to be used for?
What does the sponsor get? $600 for a chance to spend 20mins talking
seems a little expensive, even at the rates I charge people to listen to
me :)
Hi Others,
Is anyone else on list interested in Adrian's suggestion of teaming up?
Cheers Don

Hi *,
This is a message addressed to those of you who are business owners and
use FOSS to make a living.
There is an opportunity to sponsor an event organised by NZCS for the
students of the University of Canterbury.
The event is called "Making Money in the Open Source World" and will
take place at 5:30pm Tuesday 12th September, 2006 at the University of
Canterbury. The date and precise venue is yet to be confirmed. The event
is part of the continuing series called "NZ Computer Society
Student-Industry Meeting".
The sponsors have the opportunity to present themselves, their companies
and talk for about 20min about how they make money using FOSS. Then
they'll take questions from the audience followed by a time for students
to network with the industry people over light refreshments, concluding
at approximately 7pm
The amount required for sponsorship is around $600. I believe the best
way would be for three, maximum four, sponsors to team up together for
this to show the audience more than one way of making money.
There is no need to create a presentation, just a slide maybe with your
logo so people will remember your company.
Let me know who puts his/her hand up for this.
Cheers,
Adrian
P.S. I just noticed that this will clash with Volker's second
presentation on photo processing. I'll ask them to change the date.
