clarification and discussion
This section will be updated based on mailing list discussion, and contact with potential sponsors.
Talking points:
- relax: we have not collected sponsorship recently ... so anything will be an improvement
- relax: simply having logo on website, and having an OSGeo logo is good value
- goal: see if we can adjust sponsorship levels based on organization size to allow smaller groups to sponsor
- goal: provide a range of price points
- goal is have a budget forcast prior to spending and take some of the presure of yearly foss4g
Questions & Scope:
- Q: are missing the small 1-3 person teams? Perhaps - added category for <3 people and a note about recognizing osgeo donations
- Q: what kind of perks? A: Not listed yet ... focus is simply on supporting osgeo community
- Q: individual sponsorship? A: seperate "I heart OSGeo" badge/sticker provided to paypal donations
- Q: consider a discount for past sponsors? A: No reward with logo position/size or indicate of date on logo
