Thanks for the feedback I've gotten for this off list.

An idea that's come up several times is financially compensating individuals
and companies that bring additional companies to the GNOME community. While
we want companies to come join the community and participate, regardless of
whether or not they sponsor the Foundation financially, it might be worth
rewarding people for bringing financial contributions.

What would people think of a 10% finders fee for individuals or companies
that brought in sponsors?

Maybe there's some guidelines like must give at least $5,000.

I don't like the finders fee that much. If we want to offer something
it should be more in the spirit of free beer. So maybe a travel cheque
that can be used to visit GUADEC. So in the proposed case of 10% and
5000$ it would be a 500$ travel cheque that can only be used to visit
GUADEC or some other GNOME conference
