<div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">As of now we have redhat and centre for Internet and
society as supporting sponsors and icfoss as a participating sponsor.
But some more steps need to be completed for assuring CIS sponsorship .
CIS will take/refund some of our bills. But details need to be
discussed.I have received info from Redhat that payment will be delayed.
ICFOSS's 50k is expecting this week. In between we forced to switch
main hall in academy on 14th afternoon to another hall in academy due
to a program by chief minister ( if there is a govt pgm booking will be
automatically cancelled. But since we had a talk with secretary prior to
that and he likes the program they alotted another hall )and it will
cost extra expense .</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our community contribution so far is 45k . We can do the
event with this money in minimal level. But we need to cut short at many
points. (Example. No video recordings. Capping publicity expenses ,
reducing guests from other languages, etc ) Also there is a need of
advancing money . Our actual budget for this event was 4lakh.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So We need more contributions and more promotion of our supporter passes. <br></p><p dir="ltr">Also I request all of you to register in <a href="http://smc12.doattend.com">http://smc12.doattend.com</a> so we will get clarity on numbers. </p>
