The last thing I want to do in the world is to slow this process down any more than it has already been slowed, but I just gave this doc another full read over and I saw this: <br><br><pre> Platinum sponsors may also have their logo placed directly on the<br>

<br><br>...which I don't think I'd seen before. Maybe I just didn't process it. Is everyone else aware of this?<br><br>I think that logo-exposure might be a touchy subject, just want everyone to be clear if we're signing off on it.<br>

<br>
So, motivated by the OSGeo Project Sponsorship program, Chris did a<br>
great job of putting together a document that describes the potential<br>
sponsorship opportunities with OpenLayers.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://svn.openlayers.org/project/sponsorship/sponsoring" target="_blank">http://svn.openlayers.org/project/sponsorship/sponsoring</a><br>
<br>
This document describes a few things:<br>
1) our intent to seek sponsorship via the OSGeo Project Sponsorship program;<br>
2) high level goals for use of sponsorship funds; and<br>
3) details on uses, benefits, and the process.<br>
<br>
John has raised questions about having the OSGeo manage our sponsorship<br>
program versus having some other entity manage the program. I think we<br>
have agreed to treat this question separately - to entertain suggestions<br>
on alternative methods of managing the sponsorship program after we<br>
agree on the core goals.<br>
<br>
I would like to call a vote specifically on the document linked above.<br>
The issue we're voting on looks something like this:<br>
<br>
If we agree to pursue sponsorship for OpenLayers via the OSGeo Project<br>
Sponsorship program, the PSC believes that the sponsorship document<br>
referenced [1] adequately describes the goals, intended uses, and<br>
potential benefits of project sponsorship.<br>
<br>
Thanks for voting.<br>
<br>
My vote is +1.<br>
<br>
