[kaffe-siteadmin] Re: Sponsorship

[Jim Pick]

Hi,

I'll forward this on to the kaffe-siteadmin at kaffe.org mailing list, as
I'm not the only guy who has to make the decision.

Personally, my preference is to keep the sponsorship program simple and
low-key - we don't have a lot of costs, and I don't want to commercially
taint the project anymore than is necessary.

I guess what I'm saying is that my preference is to stick with the one
sponsor per month arrangement for the moment.  It's currently a bit of
an experiment to see if it's possible to host a free software project
indepedently of a single big sponsor, and we haven't worked all the
kinks out yet.

Again, if this was not what you were expecting in return for your
sponsorship donation, I'm sure we can arrange to pay you back for your
donation.

Cheers,

 - Jim
