<div>Ian,</div>
<div>My apologies for inappropriately crediting the gift to the foundation. I thought the foundation was aware this was happening for core reviewers – but that appears not to be the case.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any regard, its not like the core reviewer party at ODS which is a blowout party with great food and great drinks and might violate some companies gift policies and many people's view of what is appropriate in an open organization. Instead it is equivalent
to a sticker (although it is not a sticker) that projects provide as gifts to people interested in their projects.</div>
