We've been doing this already. That is, local groups have been doing this already. And board has been paying on a case by case basis. See recent GNOME-FR requests for example. The rest, to have marketing material ready, is up to the marketing team and community. Just send your request to board at least 3 months in advance of your event and chances are quite high that you get the money you asked for. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
