[EuroPython] help needed!

[Benedikt Hegner]

Hi,

there was a lot of traffic on the list the last days about status and  
if the preparations are going well.

I think one reason for the discussion is that there was no visible  
activity going on. Well, it is in parts related to the fact that I  
was off sick and not able to work at all. And so I couldn't  
communicate what was still going on here without me. I made a big  
mistake not to delegate and find someone else to do my jobs when I  
was ill and in hospitals. I honostly apologize for that.
It looks like I can be ill and away again at any time. Now I made  
some preparations that there are people here to help out with my  
tasks - just in case. Audun, who works at CERN as well, can take care  
then and he already helps a lot. But not only in Geneva helping  
people are needed.

I think Paul Everitt mentioned that he can take care of the PR. Paul  
- is it still true? We need a PR text for the registration opening.  
And maybe translations in different languages. Do you think you can  
find people helping you with that?

For ep.org I have two points below which should be put there. David  
and Paul - do you can take care of this?

Ciao
Benedikt

Sponsorship:

Trade show and becoming a sponsor

     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 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. Lunch break,
afternoon session and an hour or so after the end of the conference day
on Tuesday 8 June is what is preliminarily planned. 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 become a sponsor of the conference. The following  
options
are available:
