[gdal-dev] Finalizing online documentation wrt sponsoring

[Even Rouault]

PSC,

There's some momentum building on the public announcement. We already 
got several people asking how they could join.

It would be good if we could quickly move and finalize the sponsoring 
documentation that will be on the website.

So there's this pull request https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3681 
that matches the preview of the website I showed recently. So with a 
front page listing the sponsors, and then a link to the FAQ and another 
one to the sponsorship prospectus. For the later, in the PR it is still 
as a .rst/.html page, but ultimately we'll just replace it with a 
standalone PDF file stored and linked from the website: the idea is that 
people can circulate it within their org to the decision-making level.

The prospectus will be a PDF version of 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yhMWeI_LgEXPUkngqOitqcKfp7ov6WsS41v5ulz-kd0/edit?ts=60777468 
, once we have finalized it.

I believe the main source of discussions is to decide what to put behind 
the "GDAL Advisory board" of sponsors. A discussion was started at 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3682#discussion_r614274074
