[CREATE] LGM 2009 update

[Nathan Willis]

I culled together a brief list of past sponsors based solely on the wiki
pages available from 2007 and 2006.  Were there any others?  I know the 07
list was unofficial and there wasn't one up for 08.

   - ATI
   - Canon
   - Epson
   - Google
   - HP
   - IBM
   - Intel
   - Xerox
   - Xara
   - O'Reilly
   - Eyrolles
   - FSF
   - Grafika
   - Société des arts technologiques (SAT)
   - CPE.fr
   - Aldil.org
   - Flock
   - GNOME
   - gnulinuxmag.com

I would add Nvidia to that list, possibly Logitech or Wacom, too --
depending on what the success rate was with the other hardware vendors.
Other suggestions?  The distros, perhaps?

Thanks,
Nate
