[Debian-sponsors-discuss] DebConf14 fundraising

[Moray Allan]

We should make another attempt in this DebConf cycle to move the start 
of our fundraising to a more sensible point.

That is, the DebConf14 team should already be thinking about additional 
"local" targets, and preparing text/images to update the DebConf 
fundraising brochure.  Those things should be finalised during 
DebConf13, if not earlier, and active DebConf14 fundraising should start 
as soon as possible afterwards (ideally already starting to reach out 
during DebConf13).

While we would ideally have a large ongoing fundraising operation, 
that's not quite the case yet, so those who care about DebConf14 will 
need to help on it and push others to do so too.

We should also take this DebConf cycle changeover as a reminder to try 
to unify more the work of different parts of Debian on fundraising, so 
that DebConf doesn't just work in isolation only caring about its own 
sponsorship needs.  As one aspect of that, perhaps it would make sense 
to add a "other ways to help Debian" page to the DebConf fundraising 
brochure?
