Let me explain. Starting a society even not for profit has its own little legal tangles and will also cost some monies (less than 10 K). But most importantly you'll need to keep accounts, ensure that returns are filed, even if not much transaction happen etc etc
See I dont see the costs scaling upwards of 1.1 L or so for a single day event, and we have about 5-6 different expenses, and it'll be better if the sponsors are alloted some expense or other. Saves us money management. This is possible if the plans are for one day event, but for a larger scale we may have to get some bigger sponsors. I am purely looking at Python focused companies chipping in, who can claim the expense as their opex.
