[EuroPython] Suggestion of text for sponsors and exhibitors

[Dario Lopez-Kästen]

[resending this with another, non-spam, subject line and slightly edited]

hi,

I tried to check the website but it is down at the moment.

[I checked and as far as I can see, there are no sponsoship texts on the 
site]

Below is the text from last years call for sponsors, with some slight 
additions.

Can we reuse it as it is? Jacob, would this fit into budget - ie 
exhbitors get their space for free; is this OK or should we charge them?

As soon as we settle on something, I'll go forward and send it to 
potential sponsors today.

EPC 2005
--------

Trade show and becoming a sponsor and/or exhibitor:

Exhibitor
---------
    1. You can have a small space for free. This includes a desk, a
chair and 2 meters of wall space. You get one electric outlet (same
standard as in Germany, the Netherlands etc) and access to the wireless
network. You are not insured by the conference. At least one member of
your organisation must be attending the conference, but you may staff
your booth with non attendees.

    2. You are required to keep your booth manned during the "trade
show". This will take place for a period of 6 hours. You can have your
booth up manned or unmanned the rest of the time - it is up to each
company to decide.

    3. You can rent your own seminar room at 100 Euro per hour for
demonstrations, private seminars, job interviews etc. (Evening hours
cost more. Ask for an offer.)

    4. You can rent more space and equipment on the show floor. Prices
are close to "at cost". Contact Europython for an offer.
