Alternately, could treat the companies as 'just another contributor' and
insert them randomly in the list of individual contributors. Could even
allow contributors to append their own logos if they wanted to :)

Additional thought: could we figure out some way to separate
'contributed recently' from 'contributed in the distant past'? I
definitely feel we should still recognize those who have contributed in
the past as long as they still want to be recognized, but at some point
separating them out so that we can 'highlight' people or organizations
who have continued to contribute to GNOME2.x would be beneficial, I
think.

more than just a company billboard :/
