<div dir="ltr">One issue that Chris and I talked about in person on friday was how to deal with the sponsorship credits page. <div><br></div><div>In an earlier mail, chris sent this link to the GDAL project's sponsorship page:</div>
<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><br> <a href="http://gdal.org/credits.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">http://gdal.org/credits.html</a></span><br>
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">..which we both thought was a pretty reasonable, simple model we could follow. This sort of thing has helped us to bootstrap things in the past.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">In live discussion, chris and I managed to chisel it down to the following breakdown:</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * Paying Sponsors: Top of page, in order of sponsorship, $500 and up get logo and text. $500 and down get just text</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * Contributors: Individual/Company Name and link and brief description of contributions to project. NO LOGO</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * Individual Contributors: Any individual contributor who has produced a significant feature in trunk. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * Corporate Contributor: Any corporate contributor who has produced a significant feature in trunk.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">----</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * we distinguish between individual and corporate based on ICLA vs. CCLA</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> * PSC votes on inclusion/removal/edit of all sponsor/contributor information</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Based on the above information, we are probably at the point where we could start our own <a href="http://openlayers.org/credits.html">openlayers.org/credits.html</a> page. Although we have no sponsors currently, I believe we can get things going by filling out the contributors section. I can get started on that when I'm back to mexico next week if no one else is interested. </span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">At any rate, please reply with thoughts/comments on this. </span></div>
