In Denmark we have great experience just contacting IT companies, 
especially the ones working with Open Source/Linux, and tell them about 
what we're doing and what we're all about. Then we ask if they'd like to 
sponsor what we're doing, maybe in exchange for ads on some of our 
fliers or something. A lot of them says yes, and throw us a bag of money 
that we use to enhance our efforts.
I don't know what the situation is in your country, but you can always 
try. Worst case, you get a no, nothing lost :-)
