<div dir="ltr">Hi Petter, <div><br></div><div>Thanks for your message. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is a budget document for you to have a look at: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e3YjZw0B7KP7rxfg140E8WO8hqWjaVVx7ce1wEIkR2g/edit#gid=995134144">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e3YjZw0B7KP7rxfg140E8WO8hqWjaVVx7ce1wEIkR2g/edit#gid=995134144</a></div><div><br></div><div>The first sheet - Budget 1- is a calculation of costs based on if the event were held somewhere cheap and basic like here: <a href="http://haraldsheim.no/">http://haraldsheim.no/</a> This would mean attendees would have to share dormitory bedrooms. </div><div><br></div><div>The second sheet - Budget 2- is a calculation based on holding the event in the Teknologihuset venue you suggested, and putting people up in their own rooms in hotel(s) in central Oslo. </div><div><br></div><div>So there is quite a big difference in the two budgets. If you have any ideas of how to reduce costs further, let me know!</div><div><br></div><div>Approaching political youth parties in Norway sounds like a good idea to me, let me know how I can help with that. In the meantime, <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/142wYEofhwMsremKGznWUWnAQNE69A77ekkGSGyde_eo/edit">this copy</a> of the application I made to the Fritt Ord Foundation might help. <br></div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime, I will re-approach the Github Event Sponsorship team, to see if they'll reconsider our application now we have the NUUG Foundation support. I'll also continue to think of other funders :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Gemma. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 June 2017 at 22:55, Petter Reinholdtsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pere@hungry.com" target="_blank">pere@hungry.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">[Gemma Humphrys]<br>

</span>Thank you for the update. Sad to hear Fritt Ord did not want to support<br>
us.<br>
<br>
How much money is required? I realise any we can get is good, but<br>
knowing the need might give me some idea about who could be possible<br>
sponsors.<br>
<br>
I have asked around for sponsoring ideas. One ide that came up was the<br>
political youth parties in Norway, but it would probably require quite<br>
some preparations. Not sure how realistic it would be. We will see if<br>
we can come up with a better idea. :)<br>
