my 0.02: "sponsorship" probably shouldn't be equated with "someone who gives our members a discount for spending our money there". that's not really sponsorship, but an incentive to get our people into their shops. sponsorship should probably take the form of "company X gives CLUG the following services or products in return for recognition and the opportunity to support the local open source friendly tech sector". -- Aaron J.
