<DIV>I think your proposal is fair and giving something in return always make negotiating much easier.</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hi<BR><BR>I was thinking about brining the costs down and was wondering if we<BR>could do the following.<BR><BR>1. get a company, say Cape Town Tourism, to sponsor the demo booth for<BR>R100 000, and allow them to put posters all over the sides, inside and<BR>out. Our cost for the booth is about R45 000. <BR><BR>2. we are going to ask various government department for big sponsor<BR>donation, what about selling them the workshop rooms, floor space and<BR>computers, and include in 4 free passes. I think we can then justify<BR>asking for big money and it would be good to give them something in<BR>return. We could approach the Dept of Science and Technology (DST),<BR>StatsSA, Dept of Land Affairs (DLA), and the State Information and<BR>Technology Agency (SITA). If they sponsor, the room then becomes the<BR>SITA lab. If we got these covered we could than charge the workshop<BR>delegates whatever we through was reasonable. <BR><BR>Would this be acceptable? <BR>Carrin <BR><BR>-- <BR>This message has been scanned for viruses and<BR>dangerous content by MailScanner, and is<BR>believed to be clean.<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>FOSS4G2008LOC mailing list<BR>FOSS4G2008LOC@lists.osgeo.org<BR><A href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc</A><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
