My quick votes & comments embedded below...
1. Plenary speaking opp. 15 minute plenary
conservation/panel/session
a. Opp to hang banner in ballroom during plenary
b. Opp to distribute materials in ballroom during plenary
c. Listing and logo placement in conference program as
plenary sponsor
+1, a good thing
2. Sponsor of Exhibit Hall Reception 6:00-7:30
a. Listing and logo placement in conference program,
website, email announcements, onsite signage
-0, not needed if we get some of these other things
3. 2 page ad in conference program
+1, if we can scurry to get content in time... that said, I actually do
read things like conf programs, not sure if others do...
4. Two 6' tabletop displays (pop-up booths allowed) in premium
location in Exhibit Hall - DONATED TO OSGEO
a. Includes 2, 6' draped counters (20 linear feet)
b. 2 counter height stools
c. 8' high draped backwall to hang banner
d. Carpeted room (no need to rent carpet)
e. High speed Ethernet Internet connection
f. Electrical Connection for two computers
+1, a very good thing (and reusable!)
5. User of press conference for one private press event
+1, in addition to getting some vis in editorial columns and such, this
could be a good way of priming the pump for an article or two about/by
us
6. Web/Print ads
a. Company logo and 100 word description prominently
displayed on conference marketing materials and web site
b. Top logo placement and link on Conference home page
-0, not needed if we get some of these other things
7. 20,000 online baler impressions on oreillynet.com
0, what is an "online baler impression"? And would I really need twenty
thousand of them?
8. Conference passes
+0, if anyone from OSGeo doesn't have one already or something?
9. 6 full conference passes (excluding tutorials), conference
materials included
+0, same as #8
10. 2-time use of Who's Who, opt in attendee list (pre and post con)
0, not sure what this means. Does the conf program have a special list
of Really Cool People? I suppose Gary and Frank would be the
appropriate RCPs?
11. Attendee bag insert
+0, seems redundant if we had good text in the program itself
12. Opportunity to host reception at Fairmont Hotel
+0, how would this be different from the putative BOF?
