Gregory's Server@zverik tell Niantic to actually become a member then :). There is a microgrant budget for both of these - again, limited by income. I hope you have cool ideas for a microgrant in the pipeline.

@zverik @grischard €30k is the membership cost, not the upper bound for how much a company can contribute in a given year if OSMF has a particular funding drive / specific program that might be of interest to them. |
@grischard One of the points I mentioned in my rant, I don't believe an extra €30k would do any change.
This model would work if we had 100+ organizations as platinum members. With just two (one of which did not intend to), it is unsustainable and indicates something's wrong with the entire corporate sponsorship framework.
I'd prefer for big companies to wait until OSMF comes with a program aimed at big donors that demonstrates their money would indeed make the map better.
