10. There are people out there who want to help us.
Some have selfish
motives, no doubt, and others have purely altruistic motives. Deal with it. Such is
life.
11. When the selfish overwhelms the altruistic, we can say no. The Board has
said no--to some very big potential sponsors.
Yesterday, on #wikimedia, some people asked how sponsorpartners are
choosen or have been choosen.
The answer we had was that there were to factors used:
"1) they have the money"
"2) they're nice"
Now, 'cause of "They're nice" is a very, very generic factor, it seems
that the only importang thing is that they have the money.
But I'll be happy to understand better which have been the reasons why
a company has been choosen, and another not.
