The [[/SponsorWorkflow|workflow for each individual sponsor]] ensures that the decentralised members of the fundraising team can coordinate across diverse timezones. The [[/InvoicingSponsors|process to invoice sponsors]] involves the [[Teams/Treasurer/Organizations|Debian Trusted Organizations]] to create invoices and receive payments. An important tool for fundraising is the annual `debconfXX.debconf.org` website. There is a [[Teams/DebConf/WebTeam/AnnualWebsiteChecklist|migration checklist]] to help the creation of the next DebConf's website. The [[Teams/Publicity | Debian Publicity team]] supports the fundraising process by publicizing sponsors and funneling leads to the sponsors' team. DebConf is an annual conference and teams keep changing, communication is very essential to pass on information to the next generation. The fundraising team needs to use the proper [[DebConf/Teams/Communication | DebConf Communication]] channels to enhance proper documentation. [[DebConf/DecisionMaking | Decision making]] is a vital process of the DebConf and shouldn't be overlooked or taken into personal considerations. |
