I think we should go with what we have. However, I think Claus has some good points.
I don't necessarily agree that more information/text is better. I think people are more likely to read what you have, if you have less. However, I liked the title calling out more to the audience and less about us. I'd probably change it a bit: Why You Should Become a GNOME Foundation Associate Find out how companies such as Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Motorola, Nokia, Novell, RedHat, and Sun work with the GNOME community to develop world class [systems] for a fraction of the cost Or instead of cost we could highlight speed or customization or any of the open source benefits. I also like the idea of adding the number to the list: 6 reasons to become a GNOME Foundation Sponsor. Numbers have proved to help popular blog post titles!
