| zeth | Hi all | 18:49 |
|---|---|---|
| *** ambv has quit IRC | 18:54 | |
| _dboddie | Hello! | 18:59 |
| _dboddie | Is there a meeting I should know about? ;-) | 18:59 |
| zeth | Hi | 19:13 |
| zeth | No | 19:13 |
| zeth | I just turned my IRC client on and went through the channels seeing who was about | 19:13 |
| zeth | We did chat a little about EuroPython at the last Python West Midlands | 19:14 |
| zeth | but nothing particular | 19:14 |
| zeth | the new website is up though | 19:14 |
| zeth | talk submissions are not up yet | 19:14 |
| zeth | but I will do that at some point | 19:15 |
| _dboddie | Got to get started again for next year... :-) | 19:27 |
| zeth | yup | 20:24 |
| zeth | should be fairly easy though, we have now some rough idea of what we are doing | 20:24 |
| zeth | As talked about in the AGM at EuroPython 2009, we need to price and cost the conference to work without any sponsorship | 20:25 |
| zeth | If we get sponsorship then that is great, but it needs to work fien without it | 20:26 |
| zeth | fine | 20:26 |
| zeth | Some other conferences have seen their sponsorship collapse in the current panicky climatr | 20:26 |
| zeth | climate | 20:26 |
| zeth | however, if we get a similar number of delegates as last year, or more, then good management of our resources should mean we have enough | 20:27 |
| _dboddie | Probably the best strategy. | 20:27 |
| zeth | last year we got pretty close to breaking even with very little sponsorship | 20:28 |
| zeth | we may be a few quid up or down | 20:28 |
| zeth | we agreed at that AGM to raise the price a little | 20:28 |
| zeth | so that will make a big difference | 20:28 |
| _dboddie | I imagine that the current climate is actually a good thing for companies that _do_ decide to sponsor. | 20:30 |
| _dboddie | More bang for the buck. | 20:30 |
| zeth | Could be, I know nothing about this kind of thing | 20:34 |
| zeth | I have not got involved much in sponsorship in the past | 20:34 |
| zeth | If I had a company, I would sponsor EuroPython, it is quite cheap and your brand is then quite prominent | 20:35 |
| _dboddie | I think one of the problems is getting companies to spend "small" sums of money on events. | 20:40 |
| _dboddie | jacob22_ knows more about this kind of thing... :-) | 20:40 |
| *** mgedmin has quit IRC | 20:41 | |
| zeth | Yeah I leave it to him and quentin | 20:45 |
