I have nothing to add other than +1, which is being added to move the conversation along :-)
I think that we need to just agree on the $1000 level quickly if there is any objections to the others. Perhaps we should allow "backdating" any contributions to the hackfest as well for sponsors, to ensure they get recognized appropriately.
Not a bad idea.
I'll note though that our contact info for those may be a bit limited, so it may be difficult to ascertain whether they actually want the publicity. Even so, would be nice to offer it. If I give you the list of donors at the $1000 level (I don't think there was more than a couple), would you be willing to make contact with them to doublecheck?
Makes sense, I will. We should perhaps also (longer term, perhaps a community contest) provide a logo/banner type thing that they could put on their webpage. I'm sure folks like Red Hat wouldn't be interested, but perhaps smaller firms.
