Hi,
It would be really great if we could get the sponsorship reward level stuff nailed down sooner rather than later. The last off-list email I sent regarding this didn't seem to get any response, so I figured we'd just move the discussion on to the list to see if it helps move things forward.
I received a follow-up email from the potential donor with $5,000 and I still had nothing new to tell him. A donor having to follow-up because I didn't have a substantive response to provide is not a good thing... especially when weeks later I have literally no new info for them.
We already voted on sponsorship levels last September. For a $5000 (Golden Brush) donations we agreed:
- Acknowledgment with logo on "Our Sponsor Page" (one year)
2. Acknowledgment with logo on our home page (one year) for Silver
and above levels.
Logos must be 160x80px and non-animated. SVG's are encouraged. Logos must be non-political and non-offensive with the Inkscape board and SFC being the final arbitrators of suitability.
Is there something more being asked for?
I was also contacted again by someone who produces educational courses for Inkscape who would like to donate via profit sharing if we'd be willing to promote his courses. Since he originally contacted me a year ago, he has garnered 5,000 sales of his courses. His proposal is to donate half of the proceeds moving forward. So, in his case it would be a unique situation since his donation amount wouldn't be predictable. I think it has the potential to be hugely beneficial to both parties.
This is a good offer, however, before agreeing to "endorse" his course by linking to it, I would want to review it.
