Sponsoring BarCampOxford and helping out

[Steve Lee]

Now we've started the planning of this year's BarCampOxford [1] there
are opportunities for sponsorship. J-P Stacey has a created a
sponsorship flier [2] that explains how to sponsor and is designed to
be passed on to anyone that might be interested.

There's also a page of things needed to make the BarCamp work on the
day [3] and you might want to take a look if you have already signed
up.

While we're at it, does anyone have any other suggestions for getting
funding or publicity among a Barcamp's target audience i.e. geeks?

This is *your* BarCamp, and although there's a handful of us
volunteering to steer it right now then anyone *can* get involved (and
eventually all attendees *will* be involved on the day!)

We'd love to hear your experience and opinions on the following:

* Is it worth getting BBC Oxford or the papers interested?
* Can anyone get us adverts in colleges? Think it's worth it? MCRs? Comlab?
* Or places like Magdalen Science Park or the other Oxfordshire science parks?
* And anyone else out there have a friendly company they think could
sponsor us...?

All of these questions include the bigger, BarCamp question of:

* ... And would *you* be willing to volunteer to do it?

If so, then ideally it'd be good if you could let Steve or Andrew know
what you're up to, so we can coordinate things. And if you don't have
time to implement the world's most brilliant idea, share it here
anyway: we happy few can still look into it if we think we've got
time....

Cheers,
J-P
