Some of you may be aware that I have been in contact with the Director of Open Source Innovation at BT.
For those that did not know, this has been in relation to seeking out sponsorship for the 2010 Wikimania Bid.
So far I have had a positive response and I have been asked to create a brief proposal for him to use at his
end for him to look into the possibilities of sponsorship. BT sponsored wikisym (Wiki Symposium) last year,
and I felt that it was a good lead to look into.
 
I have had a particularly busy week with an assignment due in on friday so it has been difficult to fully
dedicate my time to producing a 5 star proposal that will get us this sponsorship. I have posted all that I
have managed to write on the WMUK wiki at the following URL: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/BT_Proposal
 
I encourage you all to help work on this in the good old wiki way, and hopefully it will be at a good standard
within the next few days and I will be able to finish working on layout and will send it to him in a PDF format
by hopefully the beginning of next week. This may also be a suitable template for approaching other companies.
 
The length needs to be kept to a minimum. No more than two A4 side's with all layout etc.  If you have any
questionsregarding the proposal, please email me at:
life_is_bitter_sweet@hotmail.com or josephseddon@googlemail.com.
 
I would also like to remind people that the bidding period officially started today and so ask you all to do what
you can to work on the Oxford bid page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford
 
Many Thanks
