Fwd: RE: PostgreSQL track for PHP Con West

People,

I'll be speaking at PHP-Con West. One of the things they offered me was the
chance for the PostgreSQL project to be a "media sponsor" of PHP-Con.

All it would cost us would be adding a web button to our regular announcement,
and allowing them to post to ANNOUNCE a few times. In return, we'd be
listed as a "sponsor".

I think we should do this. MySQL AB, of course, is one of their top sponsors;
I'd like to have PostgreSQL listed even if it's lower down.

Feedback?

Hi Josh --

Great to meet you (cyber-wise anyway!) Here is some information about
media sponsorship. I will send the official welcome message and
abstract/bio submission guidelines in a separate email.

Media Sponsorship: This is a free trade for co-promotion purposes.

php-con receives:
- web button and URL link on home page and/or events calendar
- 3-4 email messages/posts tailored to sponsor site specifications

media sponsor receives
- web button and URL link on sponsors page and a rotating button on home
page
- Listing on conference directory as sponsor
- Mention as sponsor on all outbound promo messages for conference

Call or email if you have any questions!

Monica

Bryan,

> So this sounds like a good topic; let's go with it. We will need a

title for
the session and an abstract. Monica can send you the guidelines for the
abstract as well as all the documents for the speaker agreement.

Great!

> I think that's a good goal. I don't believe the session will be

unsuccessful
and I like idea of letting attendees know that combination beyond the
default
PHP + MySQL mix are out there. I also think that you should coordinate
with
Steve Lane to make sure you are not covering the same topics and
providing a
complete picture.

Yes, I should .... e-mail, please?

> It may also be beneficial for PostgreSQL or the SFPUG (or both) to

become a
media sponsor of the event to help us promote the conference.

Not likely since neither of those organizations has any funding at all.

That's the down side of being independant from corporate control.
