Okay. I've finished the 2016 prospectus (attached). Let me know what you
need to put on the website.
Would it make sense to have some information about how Fedora benefits
the wider community, and people who draw from that? ISTM that might
be more attractive to potential sponsors ("what have you done for me
lately?"). This might work in place of the section of details for
content at Flock, after "...in person."
Some possible text: "The Fedora Project works vigorously with upstream
projects to fix bugs and enhance the state of their software. This
benefits downstream consumers and the entire open source community
beyond just Fedora." What do you think?

We've always called Red Hat platinum.
OK, I'll put the logo up there with that label. As we add other
sponsors it will be easy to do the same, if you (or whoever books a
sponsor) gets in touch.
