As it was written in the Book of Jeremy White jwhite@codeweavers.com:
- The event will be non-commercial in the sense we don't make money on it. CodeWeavers and WRS will provide $$$ and support to help pull this event off.
Don't forget Shachar as well. Luckily, it looks like not much money will be needed. I think the summary is as follows:
a) if it helps, we'll provide guarantees to a hotel to help lock in better rates. This may not be necessary or even help.
This was specifically what I had in mind when I mentioned there would be some commercial monetary support.
b) If we can, it's nice to just provide breakfast and lunch each of the two days. It seems like that's a nice way for people to contribute $ (we bought dinner last year one night as well, and we're happy to do that again).
(that was great last year, thanks!)
c) I'm not sure if we need any $ from WRS (although maybe a breakfast would be nice), but man power would be invaluable.
Yes - someone to help point people in the direction of the University, moving around tables and chairs, make phone calls, etc.
d) We have a fair amount of money donated to the Wine project available. Last time I looked, it was about $1500. Last year, we used that to subsidize travel (I was able to give about $400 to 4 people last year). Not sure if that's a good use for those funds or not, so I'm open to suggestion.
I would sure hate someone important using the excuse they don't have enough money to attend. Is this something we should consider including in the wine-devel announcement?
