Hey Denver peeps/companies: want to sponsor an international conference that's coming to Denver, CO with potentially hundreds of open source developers, maintainers, designers, and community folks?
Check it out → https://events.gnome.org/event/209/page/334-sponsors
A reminder that in order to do these things—to host contributors and have those exceptionally-valuable talks, workshops and hallway chats—we *need* sponsorships from companies that can afford it!
The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit that exists to provide a legal framework and governance around GNOME’s activities, but it’s also not some endless coffer of cash (there are annual financial reports that tell you that!).
And this is open to more than just Denver-based companies; anyone can sponsor!
If you work for an organization using, contributing to, or interested in the success of GNOME or related technologies, ask if they can sponsor #GUADEC2024!
Sponsors get:
• Brand visibility across the event w/an international audience
• International recognition in photos, streams, and recordings
• Increased sustainability of GNOME tech
• Great access to a potential talent pool
• The satisfaction of helping a non-profit open source project
And of course, sponsors help us cover:
• The venue and social events
• Travel and accommodation for people who’d otherwise not be able to attend
• Paid photography and recording/streaming services
• Transportation as needed
It’s a win/win! :)
