My recommendation is that our new sponsor contact(s) phone the sponsors up (or, less good, email) to introduce themselves. -- It would be better in my view to have a sponsorship team than a single person, but that team should try to keep a single person as the contact for each sponsor, so that a personal relationship can be built up, and to ensure that we don't give inconsistent information to any sponsor. I'm not sure if a message from Andreas is needed -- I think telling sponsors of the change is definitely a good idea, but I don't think sponsors will be surprised/worried by a change of contact unless we handle it badly. If Andreas sends a mail, it would be best for the sponsor relationships if it simply thanked the sponsors for their past support and hoped that they will continue a good relationship with their new DebConf sponsorship contact. -- Moray http://www.morayallan.com/ _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
