> Hello everyone,
>   This is the overall idea in my mind about the sponsorships. Please
> comment.
>
> Total costs:
>  - Food costs for two days for around 200 people comes to around
> 50000 INR (30000 INR meals + 16000 snacks) [This is based on numbers I
> got from Anand]
>  - The venue and wifi are already taken care of by IISc.
>  - Swag. T shirts etc. will come to around (say) 50000 (200 T shirts
> at 200 INR per T shirt + 10k for anything else)
>  - There *might* be some miscellaneous infrastructure costs (mic.
> etc.). A ballpark number is 30000 INr
>
> This means that the total cost comes to around 50000 + 50000 + 30000 =
> 130000 INR.
>
> It would be easiest to try to get sponsors look after individual items
> (ie. One guy for food, one guy for snacks etc.). If we can get a list
> of companies which we can approach, it might also make sense to split
> this equally amongst all the companies (ie. If we are planning to talk
> to 5 companies, we pitch around 26k to each).

> Companies interested in Python:
>  - ZeOmega (Baiju can be a contact here)
>  - Tachyon (Anand C.)
>  - Global analytics (Anand C.)
>  - Cisco (Noufal)
>  - Mahiti
>
>  Please reply to the list letting us know what you think about this.
> I think this can be a starting point for the actual sponsorship
> brochure a draft of which vida has put ont he wiki.
