[LGM] LGM 2019 - Funding

[Jehan]

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the various subsequent emails. It seems that 
the issue is well understood and appreciated by most (i.e. the issue 
**not** being that we want some kind of unique recognition or  a 
GIMP-branded video 🙄).

Yeah I understood that is not what was asked. For the record, I would 
have been completely against this!

I would not agree with a slide with Google logo only personally unless 
it could be made in a very unintrusive way (but really, I don't see 
how). Basically this event is not called "Google Libre Graphics Meeting" 
and I certainly don't want a single big company to seemingly get 
"ownership" of the events just because they give big money. Our "souls" 
are not for sale.

Now I would find fair a page with **all** the corporate sponsors with a 
clear text explaining these are events sponsor. Though I think this page 
could only be at the end with the credits (I would find it quite 
oppressive at the start, still for the same reason).

Now this is only my personal vote, not GIMP decision. This would have to 
be discussed with the others first and considering our last vote, I 
believe this may not go this way.

We'll discuss this and tell you, I guess.
