 * Sponsorship & Exhibition
 * Hinrich Paulsen, Arnulf Christl
 * Sponsorship is a source where we can generate early income, so to start this process early is a major part. Also I guess, that most companies are planning their financial budget this year, so it is important to let them know about the possibilities of sponsoring FOSS4G.


 * Public Relations
 * Gert-Jan, Marc Vloemans
 * I talked to Textkoch this FOSSGIS and he offered his help together with Monika Resch here (of course not for free :-. Public relations work may play a major role to get many people attending our conference. So for this issues we need a group of people and also ideas on how to structure this. Klaus Greve also said, that we might talk to the public realtions office of the university first.
