Hi there,
1st, thanks to the PostgreSQL Sponsorship Committee for their work. If I had to write some kind of comments, I'll do the same ones Magnus did. So basically, it's a big +1 on Magnus' mail here.
But:

I completely agree here.
Still, we'll face a problem : how will the Commitee control that? Who will be responsible of such a control?
As an axample, I can speak for Dalibo. We have all kind of contributions. We have a general rule of 20% worktime dedicated to research and development, including community stuff, but also internal stuff. The rule is quite approximative... Some do 100% community, others way less, since we have also internal projects for our people to work on.
Ah, and, others do community stuff apart from the worktime too, I mean at night and week-ends. Sure they are free of doing what they want, at least in the non-working hours, but also on some of the working-hours.....
Also lots of us do community tasks at work too, most of the time its a big mix between business and community...
So calculating for Dalibo's time contribution is quite a nightmare, including for myself. So I don't even think about anyone on this list :-D
So basically my objection is that we drop the examples, and let the general rules apply, as the Committee can freely decide ?
Thanks,

The point is that the organization provides the major contributor(s) the time to do so Well, the idea was to distinguish between contributors who are allowed to spend 4 hours/week on PostgreSQL by their companies, and contributors who spend more like 25hours/week of company time. We have both kinds, and from a sponsorship perspective, they're not equally valuable.
I completely agree here.
