As discussed

*Sponsorship*

I think we should potentially follow the OSGeo global model but also
potentially have a place for 'people' who donate time (without the support
from their companies) http://www.osgeo.org/content/sponsorship/sponsors.html

Principles (say £3000 per year - divide the Global cost by 10 and convert
to £)
Supporting (say £1000)
Associate (say £500)
Individuals (say £50)

I think if a UK company supports Global and gives a topup of £500 (aka
1Spatial) then they should become a Supporting.  If we don't have any
principles yet we can just list from Supporting down.

Also, there is a lot of potential to pull in users and have them listed.
 I'm initially thinking of some Government (Surrey Heath, New Forest),
Charities and potentially Commercial (Exactrak, friends / associates of
yours)

Should / Could we also have a 'PayPal' donate for people?

*Get Together*

Would be good to float the idea.  As some of us are in london on the 22nd
of November.  If that doesn't suit we could do something @ Epsom and invite
people (via Google+ Hangout?) - main discussion topic of FOSS4G 2013


Thanks
Mike


PS - when is the IRC again?
