+1 here too.
I like the idea of providing an avenue for us to pitch articles, etc. I
know that in principle anyone can submit a piece to most of the industry
pubs, but in practice the editors tend to favor those they have a
pre-existing relationship with.

Hi everybody, I've been working on an idea to start a Media
Sponsorship opportunity for OSGeo. We already do this same idea for
FOSS4G each year, so why not try it for the organisation in general?
I already know of a few media companies that would be interested in:
* providing $x worth of advertising for OSGeo * in exchange for being
listed as a Media Sponsor
This is also a great way to keep communication open so, for example,
OSGeo members can write articles for these companies, we can get our
press releases easily, we can have our logo front and centre, etc.
Note, I'm not proposing an in-kind sponsorship position, but one with
real $ values tied to the arrangement (likely $10k spread over a
year).
Putting the idea out there - what do you think? Thumbs up or down?
Think of any ways to make it more enticing?

Tyler,
this sounds like a good idea, nothing to add from my side.
Best regards,
Arnulf
