Sponsorship Opportunity: LinuxWorld, OSCON

joshb — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:17:22 +0100

Two (maybe three) great PostgreSQL social events. One great sponsorship opportunity! We will be having social events at major open source conferences this year:

O'Reilly Open Source Conference, Portland, Oregon, Sunday July 20th(1)
LinuxWorldExpo, San Francisco, Tuesday August 5th(2)
Maybe more (see below)

In order to "spread the love" of PostgreSQL around the Open Source community (and encourage PostgreSQL adoption!), we'd like to spend a total of $5000 to $6000 on both events, and of course can use more. These will be larger, more public events than last year. We are expecting up to 120 people at each, including PostgreSQL hackers, web developers, IT company management, and open source luminaries. And, of course, you! As such, I'm looking for sponsors. Here's how it works: $500: Single-Party Sponsor: signage at entrance to *one* of the two events. Right to make one "we're hiring" announcement, and to distribute 1 piece of company literature during the pgDay. Invitations for your booth staff. $1000: as $500, but for both events. $2000: as $1000, with bigger logo. Plus: thank-you in the pgDay keynote, 6 reserved(2) invitatons for each event to give to customers/partners, and your name on the invitation. $3000: as $2000, with bigger / more prominent logo. Plus: mention on all further announcements, special blog entry thanking you, and 12 reserved(3) invitations for customers/partners. But wait, there's *more*! If we raise enough for the OSCON and LinuxWorldExpo social events, we will also have a social event at LISA USENIX conference in San Diego(4) this November. Sponsors will be featured there as well. Don't miss your chance at this opportunity ... respond now and we'll throw in a complete set of Ginzu knives(5)! Please contact Josh Berkus (josh@postgresql.org) for further information. Due to agreement with both conferences, this will be the only sponsorship opportunity for OSCON and LWE. Any leftover funds from the events will go to the PostgreSQL fund at SPI, inc. Please contact me before June 25th regarding your interest in sponsoring. Sponsorships must be paid by August 15th. There will be separate sponsorship calls for the PostgreSQL West and PostgreSQL East 1-day conferences, starting in October. Also, we are asking for existing project sponsors to send us 1-page flyers for the PostgreSQL Products folders.

The reserved invitations simply make sure that your guests get in to the event. (4)http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa08/ (5) No, not really. We will give you some nice stickers, though.
