They might be able to sponsor towards a YAPC or Workshop as long as there are recognised businesses organising them. The tpf has to maintain a strong focus on YAPCs and Workshops as normal monger meetings, although supported through promotion and sometimes marketing materials, are too small and frequent to sponsor. There are just too many groups and events. You would be better looking for a company that uses Perl to sponsor, which is what most of the other PM groups do."</span> </div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Nice work.<br>

But still , i think the opinion may differ person to person, lets keep this<br>
a part of agenda on meet this march.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Talking with Mark Keating for the sponsorship of "The Perl
Foundation" and<br>
asked him to send some stuffs (Tee-shirts, banners etc.)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also sent an email to Gabriel Weinberg (owner of DuckDuckGo) for the same<br>
(used reference of Toresten to convince him).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope they will accept it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Should we search for more companies to sponsor this meet-up?<br>
