        <div>I would like to bounce the above draft off the board list
          before taking it to projects and committees for additions.</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" target="_blank">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>
