I'm not sure what this message means. Did I make some kind of mistake sending this reply below? Or is just a hiccup in the system?
Apologies if I goofed.
All best, brynn

- Unprocessed: ideas. But I just want to say that we already have a Sponsors page: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/sponsors/ :-) All best!

Nor domany
Chinese jump to the idea of doing anything for free. Time is precious
here
where students start at 8.00 and end some days at 22.00. Memorising
Mao's
rantings can take a lot of energy.
However, it occurred to me that we might very use sponsoring for translations and other tasks. If we would allow them to add a line of
text
to documents and have some sponsor page on the website, we could
probably
find a lot of institutes interested in sponsoring parts of the
project
- Ignored:
with whatever means we would allow. The sponsor page should allowthem to
post a Logo, name and a short description of what part of the project
they
are involved in.
To my idea it would be a great idea to get more exposure on Inkscape
in
places where not that many people have ever heard of it and maybe
even
inspire some competition on obtaining sponsorship. Of course we
already
have a large number of largely anonymous sponsors that have build the project so far, but rather than only going for crowd surfing, we
could use
the power of sponsoring to get things done and get the word out that Inkscape not only exists, but actually is an option.
Already we have companies sponsoring part of the project by their own interest, which is how we end up with extensions for cutters and embroidery. True, they tend to be low profile sponsors, but I fail to
see
why we shouldn't embrace those that would like to be named.
What are your feelings, thoughts and objections to something like
that?
Cheers,
Jelle
