Planning meeting in San Carlos, Aug/6

Laura, Ruth, Anne and Martin met in SC on August 6, 2009.

Laura and Ruth showed a sample sponsorship matrix. They are going to put together a sponsorship package in the next couple days. This package will have to be presented to Intel, Microsoft, SAP, Cisco, Apple,  IBM etc real soon. They’ll send the result to Martin for publishing on the web site. The next step will be to approach sponsor companies.

Naming  and ownership of the conference came up again. Apparently SAP would not sponsor an ACM conference. Laura and Ruth are going to go over names again. We need the name for the sponsors and for an upcoming web site.

As for locations we think that foothill college is probably the best choice. It has one 200+ conference room and one 940 seat theater. The theater is only available in the morning.
