 AFAIK, the intention of this is to reduce sponsorship "crowd"
 at the top. We are a low budget conference, and want to limit
 any sponsor branding we do to a select few.

 Last year we had FOSSEE as a platinum sponsor and they
 got a space on the T-shirt sleeve. It is a balancing act between
 how much money we want to run things smoothly vs the amount
 of concessions we are ready to give, considering we are a pure
 community driven conference.

 Noufal, correct me if my impressions are wrong. I didn't play
 an active role in sponsorships last year, so these are just my
 observations.
