Hi all,

I've found another sponsors page in the docs at 
https://mapserver.org/community/contributors.html#sponsors-past-and-present
I think this is the more recent version, and so 
https://mapserver.org/development/sponsors.html should be removed. 
I'd also like to add a couple of new sponsors to this page who've funded some 
of my time on MapServer for the last year(s). What is the process for this? Do 
I just need to make a pull request and merge to the docs, or do we need to vote?

Looking at the board meeting notes from 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2024-01-30 it looks like we won't get 
the budget request this year:

> Regarding projects, they have been asked to consider sponsorship within their 
> annual financial needs. The board has

> OSGeo.

We might have to revise planned activities for the year listed at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-2024-Budget
I should know on the 11th of February if the MapServer workshop is accepted for 
FOSS4G Europe. 
To cover the other items I think it would be worth sending an email to the 
mapserver-users list linking to 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Sponsorship. 
I can draft the email and send here first for review.

PSC members (and others) - please let me know your thoughts on the above,

Seth
