Re: Fwd: Interested in Sponsoring Kubuntu

 

How about asking them to only write to the council and be a tad more
detailed what kind of sponsoring they intend to do, e.g. concrete figures.

We can't act on vague sponsoring proposals, we would need more details.

If they don't come with a concrete sponsoring offer (as any decent sponsor
would) to the council we should just drop the issue.

Regards, Myriam
