Become a sponsor
Debian is a huge fast-growing community, with developers and users from all over the world, while the Debian operating system is universal and free in every sense of the word, used on countless computers, machines and platforms. As such, the Debian community is a world-wide phenomenon and a great opportunity for you to promote your business and your company, allowing our community to develop even further and serve an even larger audience!
Within the Debian community there is a strong sense of loyalty and brand awareness. Sponsoring a large conference is a good method of presenting your brand positively to the attendees, enabling you to build up your company's image. A meaningful relationship can be created, providing you with opportunities not only for advertising, but for building contacts and even recruiting, as proven by previous DebConfs.
Should you have any questions, feedback, or if you have already decided to become a sponsor of DebConf12, please contact us through the following email address: sponsors@debconf.org.
