[CREATE] LGM 2010: sponsoring

[Femke Snelting]

Before getting drawn into the LGM programme, I would like to ask on a 
practical note for your experience in financing the event ...

How can we start getting sponsors to fly/train people to Brussels? It's 
not the kind of thing we are used to so we need your help :-)
Who is interested in acquisition, looking for finances, sponsors?

We entered an application for subsidy a few weeks ago at the Flemish 
Community (governmental subsidy for design events), asking for support 
in the travel costs. Although the committee seems intrigued we're not 
sure 'open source' and 'developers meeting' fit their average culture 
criteria. So I'm just mentioning this, but there's a small chance it 
will make it and we will only know the score in a few months.

Pledgie anyone?
