With the full support of the PSC on board for the sponsorship project in general, I've checked two sponsorship-related docs into SVN at http://svn.openlayers.org/project/sponsorship/ :
* sponsorship: HOWTO for sponsoring, what sponsors get, etc. * why: A cleanup/rewrite of my earlier email about why an organization would want to sponsor. The files are ReST: HTML versions are available: http://crschmidt.net/~crschmidt/sponsorship/sponsoring.html http://crschmidt.net/~crschmidt/sponsorship/why.html Suggestions (especially in the form of patches to the ReST, but also just prose) are welcome, as are direct commits to the docs by trunk committers. My hope is that we can iterate on 'sponsorship' above until we get it to the point where all PSC members are happy with it, then publish it on the website and tell OSGeo that we're officially participating in the project sponsorship program. (This will then get us listed on the http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship/opportunities page.) The 'why' is a secondary document; primarily intended to be used for internal marketing to potential sponsors, but is just as important for that purpose: just not needed (in my opinion) to get the PSC voting on sponsorship. PSC members, Please review the 'sponsorship' document above, and comment on suggestions for improvements until you're happy with it being an accurate reflection of OpenLayers goals for obtaining sponsors for the project. If you're happy with it, a +1 would be great. Looking forward to further feedback, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
