Hi all: I am going to use fact & guess, the guess is because I am so new in OSGeo Live
Fact: There are 2 sponsors pages Guess: one is OSGeo foundation sponsors https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/sponsors_osgeo.rst Guess: one is for OSGeo Live sponsors https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/sponsors.rst So, I'll focus the rest of the mail for the one I think is for OSGeo foundation sponsors. >The sponsorship "perks" are rewritten each year, so if the OSGeo Live project would like to adjust any of the above expectations for 2018 please make a motion and we can change things up. I see a lot of +1 @jody: Do you want me to give you a hand? I can make a tentative new sponsors_osgeo.rst page, based on everything that is in this thread. This tentative page can be a point of departure for review and further changes until its ready to merge. (hopefully today, because documentation changes deadline was on Sunday) Regards Vicky On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 9:12 AM, Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am sure marketing can help every 10 years when we change branding :) > More seriously you are doing a great job contacting projects, if committee > want a say they will need to step up. > > For example feedback about mission and vision should of been communicated > by the board last year.
