[Marketing] Call for Qt Contributors Summit sponsors

[Quim Gil]

Hi,

I've started giving access to the Qt Contributors Summit budget to the 
companies that have shown an interesting in sponsoring the event. Ketil, 
Patrick, Gøril and other usual suspects in the Qt partners network will 
reach you sooner or later, but if you read this before just reply to me 
and we can get started.

The site can be found at 
http://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2012/wiki

The casual but hopefully effective approach we are taking for this Qt 
Project community event is to share all the budget information between 
potential sponsors. This way you can see in real time what expenses are 
we planning to have and how we plan to cover them.

There is a "Sponsorship packages" sheet where the 4 sponsorship levels 
are described. It goes from S to XL, from 1.500€ almost any company 
contributing to Qt can afford to 20k-40k for someone like Nokia (and 
perhaps another company willing to sponsor at the same level, we'll see).

Sponsorship packages can give you invitations to the event. This is also 
a way for corporate Qt users (but not contributors at this point) to get 
one or more passes and support the event at the same time.

Expecting a budget of around 80.000€ (10k going for sponsoring travel of 
independent developers) and 225 participants, these are the best numbers 
we came up with. If you have suggestions to improve the budget or the 
packages do let us know. As you see, your role for this event is more of 
a community participant than a simple sponsor.

We can keep this discussion over email or with a call, as you prefer. 
Thank you very much in advance for your interest supporting Qt 
Contributors Summit!
