Hi Tav, This is an interesting opportunity. I think we should go for it, with one addition; we need to mark out what being a material supporter means in this structure or if we should have a new list below the existing material supporters list.
Thoughts? The website can be changed as soon as there is consensus and graphics. We also had a sponsorship idea where by a company would give us the same amount of money as they would have spent on adobe licenses as donations. But maybe asking RedHat for 20k would be better/simpler :-D Martin, On Thu, 2015-09-10 at 10:48 +0200, Tavmjong Bah wrote: > Hi, > > In case anybody missed it, Karen reports that we have a prospective > donation of $1000 in return for mention on our Sponsors page: > > https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/sponsors/ > > > Bradley suggests that we should formalizing a donation program.
