Thank you for the ideas; I found them helpful. I ended up changing the
"More than just talks" list to:
* Hands-on coding and hacking sessions interleved with the workshops and
talks
* Collaboration opportunities with upstream and downstream developers
* Team strategy and BoF ("birds of a feather") sessions
* Planned social interactions to inspire and strengthen teamwork year-round
The only other change in this version is to the top line of the
Sponsorship Levels table. I changed the line:
Logo on the sponsor web page
to:
Logo on the sponsor/supporter web page
Based on list discussion, I thought this might be useful if we opt for a
separate page for supporters. The brochure will still be technically
accurate.
The changes are committed to SVN. If anyone on the team finds anything
that needs to change, I'm happy to apply tweaks, but am otherwise no
longer updating the brochure. As Brian said, time to start the fund
raising!
Regards,
tony
