Description
Rules https://www.osgeo.org/about/how-to-become-a-sponsor/
TODO:
- Do not show bronze sponsors on website footer
- Under About OSGeo (around 11 pages, see comment bellow): Only Show Platinum & Diamond Sponsors
- Stop the use of date of sponsorship for stop displaying the sponsors logo, and instead on type of sponsor add a row for sponsors no longer active (none: ex-sponsor)
I do not understand why Diamond (highest level) gets less than Platinum on these lines, and also there is a section "About OSGeo" that has 11 pages and a page within that section is "About OSGeo", my doubt here is it on the 11 pages or only on the "About OSGeo" page:
- Diamond: Organization name listed in “about osgeo” section of foundation press releases.
- Platinum: Organization name listed in “about osgeo” section of foundation press releases, website, and presentations “Supported by <YOU> and other sponsors.”
Another thing I dont get is for example this for Diamond:
- Top Visibility on the OSGeo Sponsors web page in double column row using high visibility 340 x 340 squares
- But the table mentions 500 x 500
- TODO: Fix the fact that currently only one column is been handled in all categories
Blog Posts
- Some categories mentions about blog posts where are they?

Vicky I owe you an apology about the bronze sponsors in the footer.
I was hoping to get a graphic designer to help, but the page is displaying as a single column right now and needs some emergency fixing. I guess it got confused over time / updates / edits and needs assistance.
Let me assemble some thoughts with the marketing committee on how we can do a fix - I will report back.

I have reviewed the design principles around the sponsor logo media files (see https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/issues/250 for details).
The sponsor media files are now produced into a tile with a white background with appropriate negative space around each logo. If you can restore column layout then these should work well together now.

As part of reviewing sponsor icon use above I noticed the difference between the footer assuming 195 x 80 image:
<?php gi_load_template('templates/atomic/atom-image.php', array( 'src' => $logo['url'], 'title' => $sponsor->post_title, 'width' => 195, 'height' => 80 )); ?> <?php if ($url): ?></a><?php endif; ?>
And the sponsor page assuming square images (of different sizes).
It may be helpful if we put the image in a square div of the requested size (say 500x500) and then adjust the image aspect ratio to match those expected by the footer (500 x 500x80/195).
This would allow the theme to "enforce" sizing constraints in the event a logo has not been prepared by hand.

- Diamond: 1
- Platinum: 2
- Gold: 3
- Silver: 4
- Bronze: 5

Thanks, I think rather than a set number for each level, we should adjust the size provided so that the website can respond dynamically somewhat.
For example on my tablet screen the decision to display 5 bronze sponsors in one row is not dynamic, so that I get 4, then 1, then 4 again.
(I cannot figure out how to attach image from tablet, but you should be able to produce the same result using the responsive layout testing control in firefox)

Oh and I love the changes made thus far, it is looking so much better on a computer, just not other devices.
I we have our heart set on a specific number for each row then someone good at CSS may be able to accomplish it. I just ask that we keep the aspect ratio consistent with the footer (195:80 or 39:16).

This seems to provide some CSS magic to provide a background tile of the requested size, and then crop the provided image in: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12991351/how-to-force-image-resize-and-keep-aspect-ratio
We would still need to provide some padding but this is a good example of the kind of CSS I expect is possible.
Thanks for looking at sponsor visibility. I guess these decisions are coming out of a meeting somewhere :P
My own feedback (note I am a bronze sponsor):
The press release format often says "About OSGeo" at the end; mentioning sponsors as part of this blurb is a good perk as that is picked up when publishing a press release via a news service.
There also is a blog post introducing sponsors when they make their financial commitment.
