[LGM] Sponsorship of LGM 2020

[Timothée Giet]

Hi,

Thanks again to Dave for helping us get this sponsorship while being so
busy with his new child.

As the delay was very short to get all things done in time, and as the
terms of the contract are exactly the same as last year's, we didn't
discuss it on the list or irc before signing. We hope there is no
problem with that.

This will indeed allow us to offer some travel support, and cover the
various expenses for the organization of the event. We could not find
any other big sponsorship of such amount for this year, so it is very
welcome (we might get a smaller donation from another free-software
organization, providing we can get them a talk slot, but they did not
confirm it yet).

Cheers,

Timothée
