Tyler,

I've provided suggested edits below:



Why Sponsor OSGeo

     * Your Organization Depends on OSGeo Software - Your company or 
government agency uses OSGeo technologies in your day-to-day work 
allowing you to compete or deliver services in an efficient and timely 
manner. By helping sustain OSGeo, you help sustain your current 
operations into the future knowing a strong OSGeo is behind your 
business activities.
     * You represent a Community of Practice that has Adopted OSGeo 
Software - Communities representing a wide range of domains, from 
professional associations to non-government organizations, leverage 
OSGeo software as a critical component of their end-user applications. 
Your community has an interest in ensuring the software can be sustained 
into the future, and through sponsorship can demonstrate your support of 
your members' software selection.
     * Your Goals are aligned with OSGeo's Support for Open Standards 
and Other Priorities - Help achieve your own organization's goals and 
objectives by sponsoring OSGeo as a like-minded organization and benefit 
from the volunteer efforts of a rapidly growing world-wide community.
     * Demonstrate Your Leadership in Open Source Geospatial 
Technologies - By sponsoring OSGeo, you will help align your business 
with the activities of thousands of adopters of OSGeo software around 
the world. As a sponsor of OSGeo, you will align your business growth 
with the momentum behind OSGeo in the marketplace.
     * Increase your Organization's Visibility - The OSGeo sponsorship 
packages are designed to maximize the opportunity for you to benefit 
from the visibility of your association with OSGeo. Examples include 
logos on booths, web sites and other marketing collateral.
     * Benefit from Sponsor Networking Opportunities - As a sponsor of 
OSGeo, you will benefit from unique opportunities to meet and share 
ideas with key members of OSGeo, other OSGeo sponsors, and affiliated 
like-minded individuals and organizations.
