Your primary costs will be venue and food, apart from Prizes, if any. e first two may not need much funds depending on where you conduct the event. Funds for prizes can be raised once the focus of the Hackathon is clear. </div><div>As RaviKumar had earlier suggested, Prof. Hardeep Singh Rai, Dean of Guru Nanak Dev Engg College is a passionate Open Source advocate and so, you pls first contact him for local suggestions and ideas. Also, pls talk to Dr. PK Litoria, Head of the Punjab Remote Sensing Centre, also at Ludhiana. <br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>As you have planned it in April 2019, by end of Dec plan out the details and we can work on the Sponsorships post that.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>All the best,<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Rajan<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>OSGeo India<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__"><br>----------------------------------------------------------<br>K S Rajan, Ph.D.<br><br>Head, Lab for Spatial Informatics,<br>Associate Professor,<br>International Institute of Information Technology<br>Gachibowli, Hyderabad 500032, Telangana, India<br>Tel: (+91-40)6653 1276<br>Fax: (+91-40)6653 1413<br>E-mail: rajan@iiit.ac.in<br>GeoLocation: 17.4454 N, 78.3503 E</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Sunveer Singh" <singhsunveer54@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>rajatshinde2303@gmail.com<br><b>Cc: </b>india-discuss@lists.osgeo.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, September 6, 2018 12:56:49 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [India-discuss] Regarding Hackathon Sponsoring<br></blockquote></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010FF;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello, <br><br>We come to know that, students will be having exams in December and also
