+0 for a "Thanks" section. I have no objection, but do we need to thank
Ubuntu? Debian? The Linux and Apache Foundations? Their contributors? Do
we have a rule of thumb for who we thank?
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi,
If sponsor has a too strong meaning, we can add a "Thanks" or "Special
Thanks" section into the sponsor page (I'm not in favour of a another page).
So we can also thanks Transifex and Github that let's us use their
infrastructure for doing OpenSource stuff.
so here is my proposal and my vote
+1 for thanks section.
Best,
Nicolas

It looks like we did not have a resolution to this issue yet, shall we
vote on this?

When it comes to giving credit, I think there are a number of factors to
consider:
* What is the cost to us in maintaining a current list of supporters long
term? The supporter list is only valuable if it is known to be kept up to
date.
* What value do we gain by recognising the supporters? Eg: Saying that
hundreds of people have contributed to OSGeoLive is a level of endorsement
which has marketing value.
* What value do we provide to the supporters we mention? Mentioning an
individual developer or a small geospatial company would provide marketing
value whereas mentioning Google Translate would likely have much less
proportional value. Lets not waste our time maintaining a supporter list if
the supporters don't appreciate the service we provide.
* What contribution is worthy of mention? If we make everyone special,
then no one is special. We run the risk of weakening the value of our
endorsement by endorsing everyone who asks for it. (Same goes for which
projects we accept into OSGeoLive). The hardest part is working out how to
say "No" nicely. It is best to have clear criteria which can be referenced.
At the moment, I don't think Leopark fits into the criteria we have
applied to existing OSGeoLive sponsors. (Roughly, organisations which have
are providing developer time and/or resources for core OSGeoLive
activities). We haven't written this criteria down or talked about it much.
We might want to create a criteria for "Supporters", as Jeff suggests.
But I see this a long term activity as it will take some discussion, and
then inviting groups to be included, then adding then ....

Hi Cameron:
I think,
if a company, no matter which company, lets us use some of the
resources, in this case their Azure account, lets give them credit for
doing so.
I added you to the Spanish translation group
Please evaluate:
https://www.transifex.com/osgeo/osgeolive/translate/#es/quic
kstart--ideditor_quickstart/124084168
Up to this line the decision should be made.
I would like to say *trust* on what OSGeoLive PSC members ask.
Regards
Vicky

Hi Vicky, I would like some background information before forming my
opinion on this proposal.
If we are to give leopark special mention, how does it stand out when
compared to other projects. Eg: If someone uses Google Translate, should we
also mention Google Translate?
What does Leopark gain by being mentioned? Have they requested to be
mentioned?

Hi thanks Vicky,
I do use it too when no pre-existing translation is not available and
I don't know the project.
Cheers,
Nicolas

Hi all,
Since osgeolive has been in transifex, leopark let us use the
"translation code" to do machine translations, I would like to add it as
sponsor (could be a sponsor on the translations section of sponsors).
Who does not use it:
English speaking only people, don't use it. because there is no need
to translate.
Languages that maybe were mostly translated, and every time the file
changed, they retranslated, and just copied/pasted old translation, might
have not used it.
From who I know that use it (for spanish):
The students from the ENAH (archeology students) use it (so says
MarPetra <https://www.transifex.com/user/profile/MarPetra/>)
specially because they don't know the terminology used on the software.
I do use it, (as Spanish translation was incomplete, and not up to
date).
Please comment
Vicky
