If I remember, you always thought that, but some others successfully argued for DC12 to make it a benefit for higher levels. (Therefore we possibly shouldn't change it only because you changed^Wdidn't change your mind, but have some more discussion first, if anyone cares.) > I also think these amounts are too high and I like to bring back the steel > level, with the sole benefit as being listed on one page of our website (as > opposed to bronze which is on every webpage). I would suggest to give it a more different name, e.g. 'Supporter', to distinguish it from the other levels if this is the only benefit, and to avoid returning to having too many similar names. > IME its way easier to find 5 sponsors for 2000 each, then it is to find one > for 10000. Last years I heard a lot of complaints from small companies saying Really we should be setting all the levels based on previous years' donations/beliefs about possible actual donation levels, not just arbitrarily. It probably makes more sense for us to expect companies to gradually increase donation levels (in the long term) and stay the same level, or increase more and go up, not to jump up and down levels each year depending on how much money we need. > Maybe we can even split steel in two categories, and list those companies wh > donate 1000 CHF or more on the top, while <1000 CHF goes to the bottom.

Ordering by amount sounds sensible; if there were very many we could invent subcategories but probably don't need to try to invent them for the brochure for now. > > * The size and order of sponsor logos in promotional materials will be > > set according to the amount of sponsorship received from each sponsor. > > making them appear the same size for each category is difficult enough, so I > would leave it at that. (+we still need to define that as well.) I think the text is fine and can cover "same for each level" if that's what we want. It just says there is some relationship. > > - Tourist outing > > I'm quite sure I didnt bring up this term, but I do think it should refer to > day trip. Yes. I think "day trip" is somewhat DebConf jargon, this will have been someone trying to explain it. -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
