Ok, small update. I managed to chat a bit with Dave (thanks for taking the
time!) earlier today and this is what I think we have agreed to.
-----8<------
The primary intent of Google’s sponsorship is to facilitate the timely
publication of edited audio-video recordings of event presentations soon
after the conclusion of the event. Remaining funds can be used by the
Organization at its discretion for the benefit of the event, such as paying
speakers’ travel expenses. Organization will arrange for audio-video
recordings of all the stage presentations to be made.
Organization will arrange for the recordings to undergo a high-quality
editing and post-production process.
Organization will arrange for the edited videos to be uploaded to YouTube
on the “Libre Graphics Meeting” Channel (
https://www.youtube.com/user/LibreGraphicsMeeting) before the Project End
Date.
To encourage and facilitate use, remixing, and widespread dissemination as
an open educational resource, Organization will arrange for all video to be
released under a "free cultural work" license, such as the Creative Commons
"Attribution" or "Attribution ShareAlike" licenses.
---
- Google's logo, linked to the Google Fonts About Page (
fonts.google.com/about), shall be added to the Libre Graphics Meeting 2019
website sponsorship, programme and home pages, subject to design approval
by Google before publication.
- Text describing the sponsorship on the sponsorship page, subject to
approval by Google before publication.
- If a printed Programme is to be offered to event participants, the Google
logo shall be included, subject to design approval by Google before
publication.
- Opening and closing remarks from the main stage by a representative of
Organization shall include positive recognition of the sponsorship.
- A statement in the description field of each video uploaded to YouTube
that includes a text approved by Google. 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. This video was made possible through sponsorship and volunteer
work from several individuals and organizations. To learn more, see
libregraphicsmeeting.org/2019/"
- An image or set of images that uses the Google logo, any other logos, and
communicates the above statement visually shall be included for 3 seconds,
at the start of 2 short promotional videos about the 2018 event and the
2019 event, subject to design approval by Google before publication.

Dave - hopefully I didn't butcher anything in translation, but if this is
ok with Dave/Google, then we (GIMP) are ok.
I don't think I've messed it up, but in case I did and a GIMPer has a
chance to read this, please let me know asap.
