[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

[Dan Little]

IBM, Google, and I believe even Microsoft have all sponsored various forms
of the conference over the years. There are commits in repos from ESRI
employees. Python, gdal, and other projects are used directly in ESRI
software.  Sponsoring a conference is a pretty small, but visible way, to
show support.
