 Collecting feedback here for discussion:

 1) the sponsor logos in the footer are not based on sponsorship levels

 Correct, this is by design. OSGeo seeks to communicate that sponsorship is
 a thing by showing a wide range of organizations.

 ideas: The frequency could be adjust by sponsorship category?

 2) the sponsor logos appear to be part of the page content causing upset

 Yes this is a real problem - for example making "osgeo sponsors" on an
 event page look like sponsors of an event. This leads to questions like "I
 sponsored the sprint why am I not listed?"

 Idea: Change heading to "OSGeo Foundation Sponsors" or "Foundation
 Sponsors" to make it clear it is not a sponsor of the event, local
 chapter, or initiative...

 Notes:

 * In mock-up design we arranged logos on a gray triangle which made it
 very clear it was not part of the page content; however some sponsor logos
 looked bad so we had to change to a white background.
 * In the worse case of conflict the sponsor logos were removed from the
 project pages due to this kind of conflict
