This has been on the table for several years now, trying to push companies
to sponsor OSGeo directly instead of through the FOSS4G. Right now a
company's sponsoship in OSGeo is the sum of your sponsorship to local
events, main foss4g, and the money you give directly to OSGeo.

We don't want companies stopping sponsoring events. But at the same time we
don't want to get all the money from the events.

Maybe we need a sponsorship committee.
