I am willing to sponsor Glaxnimate, however I never sponsored an app before and especially when it comes to releases etc. I would need some help myself (for Kdenlive we are in the comfortable situation to be part of Gear). So if someone else like you, Carl, will be around as a second sponsor would be great!
