Events
- Orxonox PPS Pizza Session at end of semester (2x year)
- Orxonox Think Tank Weekend (2x year)
- Orxonox BBQ in summer (1x year)
- Orxonox Fondue in winter (1x year)
The idea is to sponsor only a part (let's say at most 50%) externally.
Work Equipment
- Server hardware (if something breaks)
- Poster printing for presentation announcement
- SSH certificate (if needed at all)
- Orxonox.net domain name (Bensch and I bought it for 5 years only
)Goal is to sponsor 100% from externally.
Future Plans
- Orxonox root server
- Orxonox T-Shirts, underpants, strings and stickers
The goal of the funding would be primarily to fund working equipment since these are things that can be quite expensive and nobody is really liable for them. The costs are also not that high so it should be a reasonable goal.
As second goal is the partial funding of Orxonox events for developers. Partially only because people should still feel, that it is a voluntary project. But because you are all students, it shouldn't become expensive to socialize in Orxonox. So partial funding would be the goal. For example: we would try to fund the cheese only, while the developers bring the stuff to drink, etc.
Funding possibilities:
1. Companies:
- Google often sponsors student events. I have connections to the places to do this.
I could imagine, that also other computer/software companies would be interested in this since we are all potential future employees. And at the moment it is really hard to get software developers, believe me
2. ETH:
- Expenses for the PPS should be possible to be given to the ETH
- Maturandentag: The ITET department doesn't have anything moving, colorful or attracting at the Maturandentag (I was there). Orxonox would be great for this. I'm sure we would be able to get some funds for this!
- AMIV: Perhaps they will be helping us with organization of locations or even some small amounts of money, if they see the reasoning behind the money request.
3. Orxonox Veterans
- People that finished the studies and started working. Now earn money but don't have any time anymore to work on time intensive coding, etc. For example me
