Good idea. Or rotate through PSC members with a small contract to monitor communication - say three months at a stretch. So we would be expecting some kind of sustaining sponsorship from business such as yours. In trade you get vacations :) By pooling resources we cover for each other. And by acting I behalf of OSGeo we are not indirect line of fire as individuals. Advocacy rant mode on Pretty much the whole reason to setup a software foundation folks. I love that OSGeo allows us to set up one software foundation (rather than each project having to do this work themselves. OSGeo has a *extremely* low “bronze” sponsorship threshold of $500 USD (which goes down to $375 for reciting sponsors). I have a non active company how2map which has been sponsoring at this level for some years. So I am doing my best to put my money (and volunteer capacity) where my speech is. Advocacy rant mode off. I am going to go back to being quiet. Thank you for your response Even. Jody > > -- > http://www.spatialys.com > My software is free, but my time generally not. > > -- -- Jody Garnett
