The booth is a great idea, as you personally know I feel but perhaps others may not. I just think (though I'm no accountant) there should be a way to check off a box saying enough Sage-only (or UW?) activity happened to justify using those funds for that purpose. And of course donor intent in such a situation is (or should be) important, so as long as the donors know the booth is multi-purpose then probably it should be okay (and based on my personal experience, your donors usually are well-informed about these things). As a practical matter, maybe the banners could both be hung up in the higher position? I do recall the title in the program at least one year being Sage and CoCalc, which would seem to respect the dual nature of the booth. Sorry I haven't been able to help more recently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
