[kaffe-siteadmin] Potential sponsor

[Jim Pick]

Hi,

Here's another offer for sponsorship for the site.

As you can see, he has already donated $150 to the CCCP.  Thanks for
being so generous.

I've got Diana Eichert pencilled in as the sponsor for January, as she
sent me an email first.  So this sponsorship would be for February at
the earliest.

It looks like jumpondeals.com is quite a popular site, judging by the
forums.

I do have some comments:

 a) I don't want to add anything that looks like advertising to the
    site - it's a sponsorship program, not an advertising program,
    so the website would just say:

      "Thanks to jumpondeals.com for sponsoring Kaffe.org for the month
       of February" (with a link to jumpondeals.com)

 b) I'd like to rotate through sponsors, if possible, to let as many
    people contribute as possible.  Booking the sponsorship slot for
    three consecutive months is a bit much.  eg. I wouldn't mind
    sponsoring the site again with my company sometime.

    So I'm proposing that we accept the sponsorship for February, and   
    we credit jumpondeals.com for two more months.  If nobody else steps   
    forward in March, then we can use one of the credited months and   
    assign the sponsorship for that month to jumpondeals.com.  Similarly   
    for the third month.

I hope this is fair.  I'd like to hear comments from the other
developers as to what they think about this sponsorship offer.

If the restrictions I'm adding are a bit of a problem, I'm sure we can
offer a refund on the donation.  I think I'll add a blurb to the
sponsors page on the website explaining that it would be best to refrain
from contributing money to the CCCP until after we've OK'd the
sponsorship, in order to avoid disappointment.   I think we've rapidly
hit the point where we have more sponsors than slots available.

Cheers,

 - Jim
