Hmm, I'm not 100% sure of my votes, but for the moment:
1c. Keep the perk but up the prices. 2a. But do we have a summary of all previous sponsorships? 3d. Allow follow links on news articles and for sponsorships. For a fee elsewhere provided the sponsor has some connection to Inkscape's mission (vector art site, etc.).

It seems like the project might be offering | ourselves up for abuse by people who want search engine optimisation. | | RedHat have recently also sponsored us for $20k, this puts their | sponsorship at twice our highest level, and it wasn't even a sweat | for | them. | | Sponsorship details: https://inkscape.org/support-us/sponsors/ | | Martin, | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
