Just fwiw, anyone who would theoretically sponsort OL via OSGEO *is* also sponsoring<br>OGSEO, via the 25%. It's a bit different, but still it is helping the organization.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 6:20 AM, Christopher Schmidt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:crschmidt@metacarta.com">crschmidt@metacarta.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Since project sponsorship is managed by projects -- and not by OSGeo<br>
directly -- I think it's fair to say that it's the responsibility of the<br>
projects to ensure that sponsors are adequately recognized. (As one of<br>
the primary pushers of the sponsorship program, I'm considering that my<br>
personal responsibility.)<br>
<br>
I do not, at this pint, have a plan to request that OSGeo also recognize<br>
OL sponsors on their website; It would mean twice as much work for me :)<br>
and more importantly, I'm not sure that it fits in well -- if sponsors<br>
want to be recognized on the OSGeo website, I think it makes sense to<br>
spnsor OSGeo directly (as camptocamp, and many other organizes, does/do).<br>
