I'm looking for sponsorships to go to San Francisco http://nodeknockout.com. If you'd like your logo in the heart of SF tech scene and in the eyes of some juicy world-class tech companies, drop me an e-mail at matrixownsyou@gmail.com
EDIT:<p>the good fellows at @nodeknockout reserved a seat for me, if i can make it there, and provided more info about the event, with which i redacted a better ad:<p>i would like to travel to San Franscico to participate in the Node.js Knockout, which is a 48-hour coding contest to build web apps using node.js. Might you be interested in sponsoring me?
Node.js is a framework that uses Google's wicked-fast v8 interpreter to let developers create real-time, event driven web apps entirely in javascript (on the server in addition to the browser). It's at the bleeding edge of a number of new web trends that forward-looking developers are extremely excited about.
Over 400 people have signed up for the contest, and they are getting developers by the dozen to follow the contest on Twitter.
The contest the backing of a number of sponsors like Github, Heroku, Joyent, and 10gen.
Last year, Rails Rumble (a similar contest, our inspiration) had over 160 teams of developers participate, and got some good press. One team's entry from two years ago, Gentrify, was covered in a variety of news outlets including the New York Times (via VentureBeat syndication).
You can see more at <a href="http://www.nodeknockout.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.nodeknockout.com</a> and get a sense of the developer enthusiasm on our twitter account: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/node_knockout" rel="nofollow">http://www.twitter.com/node_knockout</a>.
In return i can provide adspace in the blog i will setup to cover the event, my t-shirts, and possibly laptop, for your logo.
I'm asking for sponsorships above 25€ to a blog logo, 50€ for t-shirt and 100€ for laptop. I'm also open to suggestions that could improve your ROI (Return of Investment).
All expenses are related to travelling as the hosters provide food and drink.<p>Best regards,<p>José Moreira
