think we don’t need big amount money for initial meet-up we need guys to
come-up and show some interest. I can get some sponsorship from my company too so
I think we should be able to manage. The main focus now should be organizing a
meet-up. May be small chunk of guys but better if we meet once.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

there is virtually no chance of them sponsoring a monger meeting. 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></font></p></span> <u></u><u></u>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Nice work.<br>
<br>
I already know a company ready to sponsor. But the more the better J<br>
<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>

Subject: [Delhi-pm] Sponsors for the meet-up<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?</span></font><u></u><u></u></p>
