Attendees:
Fundraising: - ask for a total amount - yes
Off to Steering for review
Sponsorships
Dependency on Sponsors - important but not integral to conference
divert sponsorships to central Samvera funds?
adds to conference - better coffee breaks, etc... although we did good last year
use to lower price of conference as you don't want to create dependencies -
Approach as a trial for 2019
active or passive? - Jon has an OR list
Argument for sponsorship? - services and products direct to Samvera (AWS, ansible, etc...)
Competitors showing support for Open Source - ex libris, ebsco, elsevier
Logo, Comp registrations, table, mention at opening and closing, greeting at poster session
