Your level of confidence is guaranteed. If the current senate say NO the deal is dead, instantly.Papa Bear_Left wrote:I'm pretty confident that, if the temporary senate says no to the deal, then it'll be turned down. Of course, that'll throw the ball back to the membership to come up with other solutions to the problem of how to keep the site up and running!

As one of the Senators, I can say nothing has happened so far. The decision was to seek more information from the sponsor, the information coming back wasn't as detailed as we would like and seemed somewhat different from the original proposal (being filtered via a marketing company).
As sufficient funds and donations had been received to start progressing along our own path that happened. As far as I know those in contact with the potential sponsor are still talking with them at least occasionally, I haven't seen anything to indicate otherwise.
My take is that if it happens it happens, and the community can be more secure in what it does apart from just running the servers. If it doesn't we will continue to be self sufficient.

Obviously, "garmin" was chosen for the probably buggy test machine and, as soon as it's all working flawlessly, it'll be renamed to "magellan.geocaching.com.au"!caughtatwork wrote:The site, yes, the name no.
We are moving tomorrow night to a new machine, but the subdomain (garmin) was a choice and not the name of a sponsor.
(I actually use a Garmin, but the opportunity was too tempting!)

You are so close its' not funny.
I believe there is a cacher who has a name that includes the name of the sponsor, but they are not affiliated with them.

Oh, 'cmon, take a look at some cachers, see whether there is one with a name that might be related to the image. Let's make a game of it. If you guess right I WILL tell.
