Sponsorships
Dependency on Sponsors - important but not integral to conference
divert sponsorships to central Samvera funds?
adds to conference - better coffee breaks, etc... although we did good last year

Competitors showing support for Open Source - ex libris, ebsco, elsevier
Logo, Comp registrations, table, mention at opening and closing, greeting at poster session
