Hi Mike,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for sending this around. I think it looks like a good plan, though I'm trying to work out what the benefits would be to companies wishing to sponsor the local chapter. </div><div><br>
</div><div>I had previously assumed that sponsors could piggy-back on the OSGeo:UK stand if we sponsored events, and have their logos nice and visible in that and any other publicity material, however since most members of the group feel that there are better avenues for publicising the group, I'm not sure what incentives we can offer instead. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm open to any suggestions, but I'd like to get that side of things clear before really pushing a sponsorship drive.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again</div><div><br></div><div>Jo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Date: 31 October 2011 12:22<br>Subject: OSGeoUK - IRC<br>To: Jo Cook <<a href="mailto:jocook@astuntechnology.com" target="_blank">jocook@astuntechnology.com</a>><br><br><br>Jo<div><br></div><div>As discussed</div><div>
<br></div><div>
<b>Sponsorship</b></div><div><br></div><div>I think we should potentially follow the OSGeo global model but also potentially have a place for 'people' who donate time (without the support from their companies) <a href="http://www.osgeo.org/content/sponsorship/sponsors.html" target="_blank">http://www.osgeo.org/content/sponsorship/sponsors.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Principles (say £3000 per year - divide the Global cost by 10 and convert to £)</div><div>Supporting (say £1000)</div><div>Associate (say £500)</div><div>Individuals (say £50)</div><div><br></div><div>
I think if a UK company supports Global and gives a topup of £500 (aka 1Spatial) then they should become a Supporting. If we don't have any principles yet we can just list from Supporting down.</div><div><br></div><div>
Also, there is a lot of potential to pull in users and have them listed. I'm initially thinking of some Government (Surrey Heath, New Forest), Charities and potentially Commercial (Exactrak, friends / associates of yours) </div>
<div><br></div><div>Should / Could we also have a 'PayPal' donate for people?</div><div><br></div><div><b>Get Together</b></div><div><br></div><div>Would be good to float the idea. As some of us are in london on the 22nd of November. If that doesn't suit we could do something @ Epsom and invite people (via Google+ Hangout?) - main discussion topic of FOSS4G 2013</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>PS - when is the IRC again?<br clear="all"><div> </div><div><strong>Mike Saunt</strong><br>
