Hello All,
At this time I would like to make a proposal that we have a month long "WineConf 07 Fundraiser" starting on March 1st. Over the past three years all funds sent to the WPF have been used to sponsor Wineconf attendees travel and needs, and I'm sure these funds have helped in many other worthwhile ways as well. What we could do is put up a news posting on the winehq front page and also on the Wineconf 07 wiki page asking users and corporations if they would like to help sponsor the next Conf. We could also put together a "Donor list" thank you page, and list everyone that gives and any comments that they would like to make. It has become clear that travel expenses for attendees is the major obstacle in there decision on attending any conference. I know this is not in any way a full solution to the travel expense problem, but it may give one more person the opportunity to attend that other wise would not have had the chance to share in this most pleasant experience.
Comments?
