The parts I have from copy-pastes. No idea if some sentences are missing
in-between:

16:27 < soenke> @pippin re sponsoring - Google can help but easiest for
them would be videos w/ logo (only proof needed, money can go to general
travel budget as we). Would that work if Gimp also comes on board f
sponsorship?
16:40 < pippin> soenke: trying to gather response, but I am quite sure it
will be NO
16:42 < pippin> soenke: offer google their logo on the website and/or
printed program, GIMP funds are ear-marked not for general travel,  since
continuing that practice is a bit unfaithful to the people who have
donating the funds to GIMP.
16:47 < soenke> @pippin ok will tell them
16:54 < soenke> @pippin ok spoke with Google - all is fine as long as
videos (also) end up on youtube

I think that it's important to understand people's priorities here. My

I didn't say this at all.
You are twisting my words and this is completely uncool. So much that I'm
not sure I want to continue this discussion.
This kind of rethorical techniques are totally uncalled for and not the way
to a sane discussion.
