Ref. to the attached brochure in works (ignore the images they need to be
updated - material is good to go)
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/ConferenceMaterial/Brochure?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=GNOME3+for+Sponsors.odg
OR
Go to http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/ConferenceMaterial/Brochure
and scroll to the bottom section Draft Brochures.
Based on this thread it seems prudent to make modifications to this Sponsor
brochure. I cannot stress how much I like both the tiered levels and an
About section that thanks all sponsors. I would like to incorporate this
into our brochure. I will send an updated one in few hrs with sample info.
while we hash out the final content.
John:
- Can the "About" section be updated once the person has installed the
software? Can we push new data?
e.g. Any new thank yous or Donation campaigns or messages?
- Also where exactly will this section reside?
Paul: Can we define what each level gets. (I am just taking a rough stab)
Gold - 5K
- 3 Guadec registrations - *will this impact our Guadec fund raising a lot?*
- Large logo on the Sponsor page
- First right of refusal to host a Gnome party in a city (We can make this a
general affair - i.e. when Guadec starts or finishes we do a one hour
webcast of key note) - *Do we like this?*
- ???
Silver - 2.5K
- 2 Guadec registrations
- Medium logo on the Sponsor page
- First right of refusal to host a Gnome party (We can make this a general
affair - i.e. when Guadec starts or finishes we do a one hour webcast of key
note)
- ???
Bronze - 1K
- 1 GUADEC registration
- Small logo on the Sponsor page
- First right of refusal to host a Gnome party (We can make this a general
affair - i.e. when Guadec starts or finishes we do a one hour webcast of key
note)
- ???
(*First opportunity will be given based on membership level),
+ All the stuff listed below, What else for these levels?
Reg non-profits: Do we bring this Non-profit info into the same sponsor
brochure?**
