<div class="">I would like to highlight two common themes:</div>

</div>
<div class="">The organizations represented in the meeting already very generous with their time and resources (even before it comes to question of sponsorship). We need to reach out to new organizations that are benefiting from the work we do at OSGeo and are not
engaging as part of our community.</div>

<div class="">There is lots that can be done for sponsors, beyond placing sponsor logos on a website. This is something I would ask us all to work on (foss4g global, regional events, projects and our foundation as a whole).</div>

Feedback on sponsoring local events, often they just want to accept money and have no futher contact/engagement with sponsors.
