+Title: DebConf15 welcomes its first nine sponsors!
+Slug: dc15-welcome-its-first-sponsors

+Status: draft
+
+DebConf15 will take place in Heidelberg, Germany in August 2015. We strive to
+provide an intense working environment and enable good progress for Debian and
+for Free Software in general. We extend an invitation to everyone to join us
+and to support this event. As a volunteer-run non-profit conference, we depend
+on our sponsors.
+
+Eight companies have already committed to sponsor DebConf15! Let's introduce
+them:
+
+Our first Gold sponsor is [**credativ**](http://www.credativ.de), a
+service-oriented company focusing on open-source software, and also a [Debian
+development partner](https://www.debian.org/partners/).
+
+Our second Gold sponsor is [**sipgate**](http://www.sipgate.de/), a Voice over IP
+service provider based in Germany that also operates in the United Kingdom
+([sipgate site in English](http://www.live.sipgate.co.uk/)).
+
+[**Google**](http://google.com) (the search engine and advertising company),
+[**Fairsight Security, Inc.**](http://farsightsecurity.com/) (developers of
+real-time passive DNS solutions), [**Martin Alfke / Buero
+2.0**](http://martin-alfke.de/) (Linux & UNIX Consultant and Trainer,
+LPIC-2/Puppet Certified Professional) and [**Ubuntu**](http://www.ubuntu.com) (the
+OS supported by Canonical) are our three Silver sponsors.
+
+And last but not least, [**Logilab**](http://www.logilab.fr/),
+[**Netways**](http://netways.de/) and [**Hetzner**](https://www.hetzner.de/en/) have
+agreed to support us as Bronze-level.
+
+## Become a sponsor too!
+
+Would you like to become a sponsor? Do you know of or work in a company or
+organization that may consider sponsorship?
+
+Please have a look at our [sponsorship
+brochure](http://media.debconf.org/dc15/fundraising/debconf15_sponsorship_brochure.pdf)
+(also available [in
+German](http://media.debconf.org/dc15/fundraising/debconf15_sponsoren-broschuere.pdf)),
+in which we outline all the details and describe the sponsor benefits. For
+instance, sponsors have the option to
+reach out to Debian contributors, derivative developers, upstream authors and
+other
+community members during a Job Fair and through postings on our job wall, and
+to show-case their Free Software involvement by staffing a booth on the Open
+Weekend.
+In addition, sponsors are able to distribute marketing materials in the
+attendee bags. And it goes without saying that we honour your sponsorship
+with visibility of your logo in the conference's videos, on our website, on
+printed materials, and banners.
+
+The [final report of DebConf14]() is also available, illustrating the broad
+spectrum, quality, and enthusiasm of the community at work, and providing
+detailed information about the different outcomes that last conference brought
+up (talks, participants, social events, impact in the Debian project and the
+free software scene, and much more).
+
+For further details, feel free to contact us through [sponsors at debconf.org](mailto:sponsors at debconf.org), and
+visit the DebConf15 website at [http://debconf15.debconf.org](http://debconf15.debconf.org).
