Andrew, I'm moving this conversation over to OSGeo Discuss list so that
it has the opportunity for wider discussion.
Extracting from a conversation on the board email list ...

If there is a close relationship between OSGeo & LocationTech, say
where there is a natural progression of projects into OSGeo and then
to LocationTech as they mature and look for corporate adoption &
contributions, the Steering Committee may see good value in financial
support. We are creating a program modelled after Friends of Eclipse
which enables individual sponsorship for a modest amount. This program
is designed to raise funds explicitly for the community. A close
relationship with OSGeo helping to direct those funds might make a lot
of sense.
These are things going on at LocationTech in any case. Maybe they make
sense to get involved with or perhaps not. I'm glad to discuss if
there's potential.
Andrew, I'd like to suggest extending your thought to suggest that
projects can be members of "OSGeo" AND "LocationTech" rather than OSGeo
OR LocationTech. Any reason why that wouldn't work?
