We did discuss this and concluded not to accept in-kind donations, such as hours worked, as sponsorship. It tends to conflict with volunteer work, and with cash sponsorship. Many OSGeo sponsors also contribute significant hours in-kind to OSGeo and its projects without recognition as OSGeo sponsor. They, on top of this in-kind work, provide support in cash to FOSS4G conferences and the foundation in accordance with the sponsorship program. We also discussed other forms of recognition for people contributing in other ways, like donating work time. The QGIS project among others has a nice way of doing this, and we will likely propose and adopt a similar formula. We highly appreciate your in-kind and paid contributions to OSGeo and hope this can be expressed in other ways (a.o. as described above).

For some reason the nginx and hop containers did not automatically start up, so I restarted those and confirmed that woodie, grass, grass-wiki, and download8 sites are back up. The geoserver-cite, the docker did not restart and don't recall how to start that up. Please report if you see any other issues. Thanks, Regina
