Hi All, Firstly apologies this email probably goes to a bunch of extra people but i'm not sure of the correct address to reach the organising committee for the next asia summit. As part of our due diligence, the board was wondering how you are handling money for the conference next year? Are you using the bank account from a local related not for profit organisation? or are you getting sponsors to pay for items directly? Or do you have another arrangement? If you are going well getting sponsorship to the point where you would need less of SUSE's money to actually run the conference the board is happy to ask SUSE to allocate more of its sponsorship to conference travel support rather then directly for the conference. IE if you only needed $3000 from SUSE for running the conference we could ask SUSE to allocate an extra $2000 to travel support for the conference. For Tokyo we ended up allocating the full $10,000 to TSP because other sponsorship covered the full cost of the conference. We can't guarantee that this can happen again but its certainly something we can look at. Thanks Simon (on behalf of the board). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-summit+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-summit+owner@opensuse.org
