[Board] draft sponsorship oppertunities 2018

[Jody Garnett]

Till last year you setup this page
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Travel_Grant_Programme_2017

Can you set up one for 2018 that we can link to? Are the same volunteers
available to continue this initiative ...

Your idea of accepting small donations are great - at what point does a
donation become too small with respect to PayPal overhead?
