It seems like a useful idea, though I’ve only looked at it quickly and without 
legal sophistication.

I have no idea...

BTW, there is a parallel discussion in the board list:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2020-May/thread.html#12678

OSGeo applied as an organization and is now in the waiting list.

Yes, that would be definitely a good idea.

Looks good after a rapid look.

I don't understand whether the limitation to some regions [1] concerns 
the organisations receiving the sponsoring, or the people who sponsor. 
We did receive some donations from outside that list.


The advantage would be to really make this into a GRASS sponsorship 
account, instead of going through a money pool linked to my personal 
PayPal account as currently.

Hmmh, just read some more here [2] where it says:

"Anyone with a GitHub account can sponsor anyone with a sponsored 
developer profile or sponsored organization profile through a recurring 
monthly payment."


So, that means that only people on github can sponsor ? And that 
sponsorship necessarily means a "recurring monthly payment" ? If any of 
those two are true, then I think this would be a possible complement to, 
not a replacement of our current PayPal money pool.

Subject: [Board] GitHub sponsors
To: osgeo-board List 

We noticed that several of our projects qualify for https://github.com/sponsors

As GeoTools project lead, how would the board feel if we signed up for
this (as a zero-fees replacement for current PayPal donation button)?

Note our project does not run a separate bank account so some
coordination with the osgeo treasurer is required here.
