The same for changing sponsors. <br><br>Right now the marketing department is fielding questions about printing osgeo live USB sticks, and is not set up with enough budget for that in 2017.

<p>Hi Jody,</p>
<p>Thanks for the review.</p>
<p>One thing that makes me a little nervous is any gradual increase
in baseline tasks delegated to the OSGeo core time, especially
when we have just gone through a de-scoping exercise within
OSGeo-Live to bring our level of effort back to our volunteer
capacity. </p>
<p>If OSGeo-Live is ear-marked to be part of the OSGeo marketing
channel, then perhaps future hired help for marketing can be
allocated for reviewing and updating relevant OSGeo-Live pages (eg
the list of OSGeo sponsors).<br>

We had started this discussion for the 10.5 release and we did
not find the time for a pull request.<br>
We should update this page for the 11.0 release, actually I am
going to open a blocker ticket for this.<br>

I had a question about the sponsors listed, are they all current sponsors?
Or is that a lifetime achievement award. Also one of the images appears be
broken, perhaps for the australian government office of spatial data
management?</pre>

This sponsor list is not reviewed very often, most of these
sponsors are associated to the PSC members:<br>

3. Jirotech has sponsored Cameron's time for maintaining the
documentation and initial packaging. We should consider that the
last years Jirotech is not supporting packaging (perhaps we should
remove that part of the description?). I would like to hear from
Cameron if this is an ongoing sponsorship of his time or if he is
spending personal time on this project nowadays.<br>

The description under "The OSGeo Foundation" mixes the foundation and the

further in the page, or add a new heading?</pre>

The list of "OSGeo Supporting Sponsors" is out of date:
- Supporting sponsors is no longer a category, we have bronze, silver,
gold, platinum tiers.
- See <a class="m_-1350397777767172750moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship</a> for details
- The sponsors listed for 2017 are here -

- The diamond and platinum sponsor logos are intended to be listed on
all promotional material
- Can we confirm that OSGeo Live is considered a "Key OSGeo marketing
materials"?
- diamond/platinum sponsors for 2017 are GeoCat and Boundless (and
now Digital Globe and IBM if they wish to be cross listed as osgeo
sponsors).</pre>

We need to align with the current OSGeo sponsorship scheme.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>
The sponsorship "perks" are rewritten each year, so if the OSGeo Live
project would like to adjust any of the above expectations for 2018 please
make a motion and we can change things up.
Keep in mind that OSGeo Live sponsors can be cross linked as osgeo sponsors
(any contirbutions they make to the project adds to their total for osgeo
sponsorship).</pre>

<br>
In our case, how can we measure the value of the sponsorship,
since we do not receive money from the sponsors?<br>
