Sponsoring by my Company

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi

Well, sponsoring of a free software project is a sensible matter IMHO,
so I am a bit wary.

To me, sponsoring xfce would be getting paid to work on xfce core or
contributing financially either for the infrastructure or live events
of xfce developers (like a hackfest).

I am not sure I am willing to accept a company logo on the website for
limited events that doesn't really benefit the project itself, unless
I am missing something.

Cheers,
Olivier

It's like the IRC, but in real life. Also we always have people who don't know that Xfce even exists, so it is also advertisment for the project.
