We've had a request from NumFOCUS to align the titles of the GDAL <br>
sponsorship tiers with the ones of NumFOCUS, to limit the risk of <br>
confusion, which was one topic discussed during last meeting.<br>
<br>
For reference, the ones of NumFOCUS are at <br>
<a href="https://numfocus.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://numfocus.org/sponsors/become-a-sponsor</a>, so to get consistent, <br>
our new levels would renamed as:<br>
<br>
- Gold (previously Platinum): 50k<br>
<br>
- Silver (previously Gold): 25k<br>
<br>
- Bronze (previously Silver): 10k<br>
<br>
This will help especially for actors that already have a relationship <br>
with NumFOCUS and can be confused by the current non-alignment.<br>
<br>
NumFOCUS confirmed that companies that offer a sponsorship designated to <br>
GDAL will receive both GDAL's benefits and NumFOCUS ones under that tier <br>
(if they don't already benefit from NumFOCUS sponsorship at a higher <br>
level because already sponsoring other NumFOCUS projects)<br>
<br>
I'm +1 for that change. I don't anticipate sponsors to mind about that <br>
change. The different tiers and relative positioning with other actors <br>
is probably what matters to them, more than the absolute title of the <br>
tier. Anyway, we'll communicate that change to the current sponsors, and <br>
adapt our own documentation.<br>
