If we use money as the qualifier for sponsorships listing anything less
than 5 - 10k is silly. We already provide thank you, hand shake, and
general acknowledgment. Here is the thing, most of the people that
contribute are already getting their return from:
A. The software
B. The kick butt community we have
C. What they sponsored
Generally speaking people don't sponsor PostgreSQL.Org. They sponsor
WEST, PGDay, PGEU etc... They are already getting their monies worth.
They don't even need to be on PostgreSQL.Org and frankly if they are
going to be on PostgreSQL.Org we need to greatly increase the cost of
our sponsorships.
Now moving "out" of the money side of things we have the real
contributions, code and man power.
CMD
EDB
Sun
etc...
Those entities should be on the web site. The only question is, where
and in what order.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
