Hi Josh,
I think the only thing we need to make a call on is how disruptive any backers will be to our website. (at least from my perspective)
I'd like to get the tutorial guys into the tutorial page, that should be easy. But we need to check to make sure that the backer is happy with that placement and ask if they have any svg image we can integrate into the page (with maybe a "support's inkscape" message in there).
For the other backer, what do they want and for how long?
At this stage I'd be willing to kick an ad-hoc vote in to clear these quickly.
I'd also like to get this nailed down, those are some big contributions. If we need a vote let me know what we need to be voting on and I'll get it set up asap.
Bryce
Thoughts?

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.
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.
Any thoughts, comments, or questions would be appreciated just so the conversation goes somewhere.
Cheers,
Josh
