Ah! It should be a bit clearer what is acceptable for the thanks page and what 
not. I obtained two laptops and a wall projector for 2 conference days  
because I promissed to display small posters with that company's logo in the 
booth _and_ have its logo listed in thanks.php. If I knew there were some 
strict rules (?), I would have paid more attention to what I bargain for.

Please be aware that getting any kind of sponsorship in NorthAmerica is quite 
an event. This is not Europe. We _have_ to be grateful. We should encourage 
sponsorship here, otherwise we won't be able to represent KDE for long, with 
only Aaron being paid for it and no budget, no sponsors, no nothing.

I would be very thankful if you would add the little tidbit I submitted. At 
least for, say, 30 days, then remove it, if not possible otherwise. A refusal 
will make my position difficult.

Speaking of unknown rules, please be aware that in that thanks.php list there 
are quite a few links that point to nothing or even to unexpected sites. I 
was aware of this for quite some time but didn't manage to get the time 
needed for asking the questions around and doing the cleanup. The most 
notable faults are "rebel.com" (points to a registrar) and kai.com (points to 
intel's compiler pages). Such links should be at least deactivated (if not 
have the whole ad moved to a new section/page "past sponsors" or something).

What is PR8?

Thank you.
