[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

[Hans Gregers Hedegaard Petersen]

I did write that in a peculiar way didn’t I. :-)

My point was merely, that while one can take a negative stance on corp
sponsorship, it can also be seen as a positive kind of attention. The
perspective changes a lot depending on a closed or open mindset.

I personally find it a good thing, that corporations sponsor projects they
use, and have worked hard for them to do so. The system works imho because
some put in money, some put in time, and others put in a bit of both.
Without conference sponsors the tickets would be even more expensive (and
without the gift of time, many of our projects wouldn’t live a year).


Cheers,

Greg
