- Buying lunch or snacks
- Swag or door prizes
- Paying for a locale (if all else fails)
- a Kinko's (or whatnot) card for our program guides / handouts
- Paying for an after-party
So far, the following sponsors have (contacted us out of the blue and) volunteered to provide goodies:
Apress will send books and swag
Python Magazine will send magazines and run an online ad
WearPython will send swag
Thanks very much!
