<p>I know, I am only listener here, but would like to see the
possibility to do a "travel grant sponsorship" for students/3rd
world community members/whatever on this list. Would also enable
micro-donations...<br>

to do a sponsorship opportunities call out for 2018 (and include

<div>I would like to bounce the above draft off the board list
before taking it to projects and committees for additions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For Discussion:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While we have gotten specific donations for OpenLayers I
think more can be done to enable sponsors to directly fund
projects. It may be a good idea to ask projects to place a
PayPal donate button on their own website, in addition to
including them in the above call for sponsorship.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We had an open <a
href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1882"
moz-do-not-send="true">trac</a> ticket requesting gvSig to
be included in the 2017 call for sponsorship which was not
noticed. The above draft lists gvSig Association and QGIS.org
under "projects" under the assumption this is a good idea for
2018.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a similar fashion is it worth listing local chapters?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Finally we had Jeroen's request for a single donate button.
We could do that and make contributions to events and projects
on behalf of foundation sponsors; we would have to do
something consistent like a "supporting" sponsorship for
events that does not include an exhibit booth. </div>
