There was consensus in the sponsors-team meeting today, that labeling certain hosting providers as "Permanent sponsors" is suboptimal, as it it could confuse our otherwise "permanent" regular "financial" sponsors the impression that some sponsorship is more highly valued.
If one goes to our parent site http://debconf.org/ or the event site http://debconf13.debconf.org/ certain sponsors that provide hosting are listed in a way that gives them prominence over all of our "financial" sponsors who in many cases provide our organization with monetary assistance well in excess of the monetary value provided by our hosting sponsors. There was agreement that "Permanent sponsors" should be renamed to "Hosting sponsors" very soon. We also felt that somehow we should normalize the placement of these sponsors, but that this could be deferred for future discussion if we at least addressed the naming issue. Thoughts?
