[Francophone] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Montreal Code Sprint seeking more sponsors due to record participation

[Yves Jacolin]

Bonjour,

Je transfert ici un appel à sponsorisation pour le code sprint de Montreal.

Un code sprint est le moment où des développeurs se réunissent dans une salle 
pour travailler ensemble sur de nouvelles fonctionnalités, des corrections de 
bugs, des travaux parfois important dans l'application qui ne sont pas ou ne 
peuvent pas être financé par des clients.

C'est généralement un gros boost dans le développement de l'application et je 
vous invite tous à participer à l'effort de sponsorisation.

Peut être que l'OSGeo-fr a son rôle à jouer ici pour capitaliser des sommes 
faibles pour réaliser une sponsorisation plus importante : l'union fait la 
force !

Pourra t'on réunir 1 000 € avec tous les organismes et utilisateurs présent 
ici ?

Y.

The Montreal Code Sprint of March 15-18, 2011 has reached a record of 29 
registered participants from 9 open source projects as of yesterday. 
This is awesome news for OSGeo and its projects that will get a 
significant boost of code and contributions during that week!

The downside of this is that our initial budget was for ~20 
participants, and with close to 50% more sprinters we need to adjust the 
budget accordingly and are turning to you to help us find more sponsors 
to balance the new budget.

** CALL FOR NEW SPONSORS - An investment in the technology that you use! **

We are looking for another round of sponsors ($750 each) to support food 
and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four 
productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch, snacks 
and dinner costs for the sprinters, and any surplus at the end of the 
event will be turned over to OSGeo or used for a future code sprint.

If your organization is using one of the software projects listed below, 
then please consider this call for sponsorship as an investment in the 
technology that you use and contact me at dmorissette at mapgears.com to 
confirm your sponsorship. In addition to visibility in our public 
announcements you will get recognition for your contribution from the 
developers and from the OSGeo community.

Please also keep in mind that all the participants are volunteering 
several days of their time in addition to paying for their own travel 
and hotel expenses.
