Actually the correct term used was 'Associated Sponsorship'

See this bit as 21:27 -
21:27 #SPI: < Noodles> We have an outstanding mail from Swathanthra
Malayalam Computing (http://smc.org.in) about becoming an associated
project.
21:27 #SPI: < Noodles> I don't know anything about them to be honest.
21:27 #SPI: < Noodles> But I'll try to reply in the next few days as
it's been sitting around on board@ for a while now.

I know you had done that. I remember some obscure library had some issues
and the developer of that library in question was being rude and obtrusive
when it could have been better.
I thought your association ran more deep.
Maybe Praveen did and then forgot about it. It's strange but nonetheless
might be a good idea to have an organization like that.
Actually, FSCI could be a good thing if we get it registered, perhaps
