The Singapore Linux Conference 2002 is quickly running out of sponsors 
to approach.  We have been in talks with many of the big names, but 
slowly most have pulled out or are not willing to give financial 
support.  SLC is a conference we hold every year and is the big reason 
why we have a Linux User Group of Singapore.  We need sponsors to get 
money for speakers.

This year we are holding the conference on October 14th-16th which has 
seemingly conflicted with Microsoft's APACFusion.  They are holding this 
regional 'partner' conference which does not in any way conflict with 
our conference audience. (Note: Last year we had a similar Microsoft 
conflict on our date in March 2001 in the same exposition center!)

Sponsors who were planning and promising money are now saying that their 
budget/people have been allocated for the Microsoft conference. So we 
are running out of options. Any Linux/BSD companies interested in 
marketing in SE Asia (Singapore specifically)?
