[cpglamming@...120...: Re: Thanks for your donation of $50.00 on 2015-11-10 to Conservancy (directed for Inkscape)]
I usually don't see these thank yous from donors, but this one popped in my box this morning, thought I'd forward it along.

You are very welcome Bradley.
As I sit here at work, just about to use the software yet again for another graphic, I feel that donating some money after years of benefiting from Inkscape, was absolutely the right thing to do. I hope very much that Inkscape continues to grow and improve - it is wonderful software.
best wishes, Chris

Would you like your donation to do even more? If you work for a company based in the USA, your company may have a donation matching program for 501(c)(3) charities. Please contact your HR, Personnel, or charitable giving department and ask! Many programs match the donation dollar-for-dollar! If you need assistance in talking with your company about this, please don't hesitate to ask for Conservancy's help!

Did a page for larger donors/sponsors ever get put up on the site? I have a company that wants to make a donation... because apparently this is what I do now. :P They also want to possibly contribute to some funded development as well.
Cheers, Josh

We do have a CMS :-D so we can do lots of things for sponsors; an updated sponsor page is here:
https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/sponsors/
We also talked about allowing some companies some bigger spaces depending on how massive their contribution.
Martin,
Ah, thank you for pointing me to that page. The last thing you mentioned was what I was specifically thinking about.
Would we want to add a section to the existing sponsors page for notable fiscal donors or create a separate page? For example, for the hackfest Red Hat & Elementary threw us money & SCALE covered my travel costs, except for this year Google has fiscally given a lot to the project (albeit our mentors earned it, it wasn't straight charity), etc... I'm sure we've had a number of other sponsors in the past who deserve recognition too.
Cheers, Josh

I agree. I think about two years is a good standard time-frame for decay. So google would fall off the hypothetical section next year.
Maybe if we get $100k we'll put the company on the front page carousel :-) 10k for a spot tricolunm and 5k for a spot in the footer. For a year. perhaps?

Sounds like that could be tied in with the sponsorship levels we discussed a while back. Do we have a page showing silver/gold/platinum (or whatever it was we decided)?

Not yet! Do you have the notes? I can put the page together if you can dig up the decision in the log :-D
