Hallo Drupal-Community,
es ist fast soweit. In 2,5 Wochen findet die DrupalEurope in Darmstadt statt. Da die aktuelle Finanzierung allerdings, Aufgrund der geringen Teilnehmerzahlen, noch keinen Spielraum für Extras bietet, wird die geplante Videoaufzeichnung vrsl. gestrichen.

Dies lässt sich noch gezielt realisieren, wenn Ihr jetzt aktiv werdet:

• Übernehmt ein Sponsorpaket der DrupalEurope.
• Übernehmt ein individuelles Sponsorpaket der Aufzeichnung und erhaltet, je nach Umfang, die Einblendung einer FullHD Grafik (1920x1080) in den Aufzeichnungen und Veröffentlichungen (Informationen direkt über mich).
• Teilt diese Info, damit potentielle Unterstützer informiert werden.

Nutzt zeitnah Eure Möglichkeiten, da die Zeit für Abwicklung, Bestellung, Leiferung und Konfiguration schon mehr als knapp bemessen ist.
