Subject: [Bundle-sponsorship-wg] ACTION NEEDED: International Sponsorship
 Bundle - Prospectus
Message-ID: <CAKMnukrpvuf1itwA0GqHwyPgmPDSFE4JsnUJwiD5AY+U6oUTqA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I've completed the first draft of the International Sponsorship Prospectus.
It was challenging making the document easy to read, with 10 conferences
participating. I color-coordinated each of the participating conferences
with their benefits, so hopefully it can be understood. I've been looking
at it for weeks, so I know what is there. Fresh eyes will see it
differently ;-).

I need everyone's feedback on anything that's not clear and/or suggestions
to make it clear to sponsors what we're proposing. We can use the intro
language already written from the original doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uTWBF34g5TQEsu6EyERMNiq7FHax-g-FlZf91rv8WNY/edit
in
the email we send to sponsors. Not sure if we want to allow sponsors to
build their own package, but that's up for discussion, obviously.

Here is the link and I also shared the doc with each of you.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GrwpciU4JOz0p7nBmDpfyDYNPx_dHX0Kav15KZ7PXcw/edit#gid=0

Let me know if you want the total sponsorship fees rounded up to the
nearest $1,000. I think most packages do that (ex. instead of $81,200 it
becomes $82,000).

Here is my initial list of sponsors who have expressed an interest in this
type of package:


   1. Bank of America
   2. LinkedIn
   3. Red Hat
   4. Microsoft
   5. OpenEye Scientific Software
   6. Globo

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions for sponsors to reach
out to.

2016 just weeks away, so we're running out of time to offer this for 2016.
I'd like to roll this out right after the holidays, so if you could please
look this over and give me your comments no later than Monday, December 28,
that would be most excellent.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

Betsy

Hi Betsy -

I love the color coating to better organize it visually. It is a "monster"
of a document. You are absolutely correct about that :)

I do suggest turning it onto a document PDF instead of a spreadsheet and
for the PDF to be informational just like a conference prospectus. I have
created it into a PDF[1]... let me know your thoughts on this type of
layout. It did not copy over properly so you would have to fix the color
scheme of the "X"s. It could also use further descriptions.

A few other things:

   - I see the bundle cost for "all of the PyCons" in a particular level,
   but what about the pricing for individual conferences for the "pick and
   choose" options? The far left table shows costs of sponsor packages without
   admin fees. Perhaps you can turn that far-left list of sponsor package
   costs into that list. I have added it to PDF below, but please double check
   the math.
   - Diamond Level PyCons should be $111,000.

Something I realised I liked about this version is that keeping it simple
this year (i.e. focusing on the all inclusive option and the "a la carte"
option) means we can focus on getting the program up and running in the
first place, and then look at introducing additional flexibility (like the
regional bundles) in 2017 and beyond, hopefully with more conferences on
the roster.

It also means any future discounts on admin fees for conference bundles can
be calibrated based on actual experience with the effort involved in
running the program.

Regards,
Nick.

In the original email I said I wasn't sure if we want to allow sponsors to
build their own package, but that it was up for discussion. Is that
something we want to do in 2016 or wait until 2017? I think we should
include that option.

Can we round up to the nearest $50 or $100? Math has been checked.

You can round up, yes.

I've made all the corrections to the color coding and checked to make sure
everything is correct.
Here is my first draft of the email to go out to potential sponsors. I
wasn't sure what email they should respond to.

==================

Hello,

Python is one the top 5 languages deployed by enterprises worldwide. Want
to engage with the Python community all around the world? Now you can
support community-led Python conferences across the world through one
central point of contact - the Python Software Foundation.

Regardless of the venue, Python community conferences attract a diverse and
exclusive audience of developers, technologists, programmers and hackers;
bloggers, authors and web developers; CTOs, managers and entrepreneurs;
scientists, engineers and domain experts.

The Python Software Foundation has put together a prospectus to allow you
to customize your sponsorship bundle or to sponsor* all 10 *of the
international PyCons participating in our program.

Please see the attached prospectus and feel free to email our team directly
at bundle-sponsorship-wg at python.org <pycon-sponsors at python.org> if you have
any questions or want more information before deciding whether to step
forward as a sponsor. Thank you!

Hi Betsy - This looks good! It is fine to have them respond to
bundle-sponsorship-wg at python.org <pycon-sponsors at python.org>. I actually
prefer that method. This way more than one person will see an email just in
case someone is away for a week or what not.

I like the fact that you added in the conference dates in the second table.
I think it may be good to add the dates into the color legend table. You
can do both or just the legend. Both may be more clear and cause less
confusion.

How do you feel about the prospectus in its current state?

I think I've gone as far as I can to make it clear and easily understood.
I'm just not sure an outside person will see it that way. I would love it
if Marc-Andre and Van weighed in before sending it out.

MAL & Van - please provide feedback on the PDF sent by Betsy. Feed back
today/tomorrow morning would be appreciated. After that Betsy should begin
sending it out to interested sponsors before the opportunity eludes us
again.

I thought it would be helpful if I included the url to each conference. The
document has been updated.

Hi Van and Marc-Andre,

We're just about ready to send out the International PyCon Prospectus and
would very much appreciate your feedback on the readability of the
document. It's got a lot of detail and,  as I mentioned below, I've gone as
far as I can to make it clear and easily understood. I'm just not sure an
outside person will see it that way. I would love it if you both weighed in
before I send it out. Nick has sent comments already.

Thanks very much.

Betsy

Hi Betsy,

thanks for sending the draft.

Some comments on the PDF:

 * "Grayed?out boxes mean the conference does not offer that
   specific benefit." - there don't appear to be any such boxes

 * I'd include the expected number of attendees in the table
   since that's a rather important information for sponsors to
   ask for.

PS: If you like, I can ask the EuroPython designer to turn this
into a nice looking brochure. See e.g. the EuroPython 2016
brochure for an example:

We're in a time crunch to get the first round out by the first of the year,
so I don't know if there's time. It's a great idea, though. It would look
much more professional. Would they charge us to do that?

Yes. I'll have to ask how much.

This wouldn't be for the launch, but we could replace the
brochure with the designed one at a later point (and then
keep reusing it for subsequent years).

Hi Betsy,

Good job on collating the information so far. I think that it does
communicate what it needs to, and it would probably be best to get more
reactions to iterate on the design

My biggest point of feedback is not on the information layout, but on the
colors and branding. I think that it would be better received if 1) we
included the PSF logo, and 2) adopted a color scheme that was consistent
with the main python colors. It's a small thing, but the branding really
helps sell this sort of benefit.

Thanks,
Van

Good points, Van. I'll see what can be done quickly so that we can get this
out to our initial list of sponsors by next week. Marc-Andre's suggestion
to have a real brochure designed is definitely the way to go.

Do you have any suggestions for more sponsors to reach out to?

Betsy
