[LGM] LGM 2019 - Funding

[Øyvind Kolås]

Not fine!

GIMP approached LGM earlier this year with the intent to sponsor video
recording and a social event. It was offered under the condition that
GIMP is the only sponsor of the videos - *not* appearing as a
co-sponsor of the videos together with google, possibly not even being
mentioned - which has been the tradiion when the shoestring budget run
GIMP project has bailed LGMs budget in various ways in the past,
including funding the reimbursement of global travel budget some
years. GIMP was told by LGM that the google money was fine with being
used *only* for sponsoring the travel budget - as long as the videos
end up on youtube; under a permissive license.

GIMP is continuing to want to sponsor video recordings for LGM under
the same conditions. We do this - both because the recordings are
important to have in good quality and we want to keep the recordings
free of google advertising. LGM videos should not become an
advertising board for corporations; please lets limit that to the
website.

For example: "This presentation was recorded on 1st June 2019 as part of Libre Graphics Meeting 2019, at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar in Saarbruecken, Germany. The recording and publication of this talk was made possible by generous sponsorship from Google (fonts.google.com), GIMP (gimp.org), and Chaos Computer Club (www.ccc.de)"
