[OSDC Israel] BitOT: Contacts at the OSDC::2006 Sponsors [was Re: Pricing for OSDC::Israel::2007]

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi Gabor!

It's great that you're preparing for OSDC::Israel::2007 so much time in 
advance. Hopefully I'll be able to help more after August Penguin 5 is behind 
us.

In any case, one thing I need for you and that I already emailed you twice 
(and you did not respond) tried to reach you by cell (and got your answering 
machine) and wanted to talk with you on IM (where you were always 
unavailable) is the sponsors for OSDC::Israel::2006 which hopefully can also 
sponsor August Penguin 5.

What I need from you is the details of the contact persons there. I'll 
appreciate it if you can send it to me as soon as you can find the time for 
it.

Also, if anyone of the respondants here can get his company to become 
interested in sponsoring August Penguin 5 (and/or OSDC::Israel::2007), please 
direct the appropriate person in charge to me or to ap5 at iglu.org.il . There 
are some other contact details of mine here:
