Contact and Thanks to Sponsors
==============================
DebConf would not be possible without the generous support of all our sponsors,
especially our platinum sponsor HPE [3]. DebConf16 is still accepting sponsors;
if you are interested, or think you know of others who would be willing to
help, please get in touch [4]!
