Most of the budget was spent on travel and accommodation for speakers.  FOSDEM is
fortunate enough to get the venue for free.  Though we do spend a fair amount of
money on "furnishing" the venue.  We rent tables, chairs, rubbish bins, coatracks
and a truckload of other things which seem obvious once you have them.

By calling around - a lot.  Make a list of companies you'd like to have sponsor
and try to find them right people there.  If you're just starting out, chances
are you'll just need to find one generous sponsor.
