[Debconf-team] Drafts for blogposts in bits.debian.org: (1) nine sponsors, and (2) Platinum sponsor
Hi everybody
I have removed the info about the platinum sponsor from the "more
sponsors" blog post, completed it, and created a new blogpost for the
single platinum sponsor.
I'm attaching the two drafts, and they are committed in the debbits repo:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debbits/debbits.git/tree/content/2015
Please have a look at them.
* The one for the nine sponsors, IMO, is ready for publishing.
* The one about the platinum sponsor, I've done my best, but probably it
needs rewording, or some quote from HP or from a DebConf team member...
That's all from my side, I think.
Regards
Laura Arjona
