Add coiled as funder
Add Coiled to the "Funders and Collaborators" page for the in-kind donation at AGU Fall Meeting 2023 for the Pangeo booth.
This page looks pretty stale today. It might make sense to generally clean some things out and change it up a bit. For example, I suspect that the UK Met office has largely moved on. Also, the nice things said about anaconda above probably apply more to Coiled today (that work has mostly followed me). Probably there are other players today that make more sense to talk about. Maybe good to talk about this and other web assets this week at AGU?
From a strictly Coiled perspective our primary benefit to pangeo is probably as the primary maintainer of Dask and surrounding techniques rather than just a provider of a booth.
Thanks @mrocklin - I agree with your comments! I wanted to quickly add Coiled to the website for now, but agree that we need to update a LOT on the website, let on this particular page. However, I may not have the time to today to do larger updates (maybe we can do those at the booth this week?) I'll address your comment about Coiled for now, as I think that is the most pressing item.

Is it correct to say that Coiled is a maintainer of Dask, or that Coiled sponsors Dask maintainers?
What do you think of updating the language around Coiled to:
"Coiled sponsors many of the primary maintainers of Dask and surrounding technologies. Coiled also donated the space, time, and materials for the Pangeo booth at the 2023 AGU Fall Meeting and handled all of the booth set up. The booth was shared with Coiled and Earthmover."
My inclination would be to just handle this tomorrow if you're not in a rush

Today I'd say that "Coiled maintains most of Dask" is probably the closest to reality. I suspect that most people who actively maintain the project would be happy to back that statement. "Coiled sponsors Dask maintainers" gives the impression that Coiled is just donating money to individuals who are doing this work and would be doing it anyway. In truth, pushing a project like Dask forward requires a lot more coordination and intentional effort that I think is today provided by Coiled the company. It's not a bunch of individual efforts; it's an institutional effort.

I don't think that this message would be especially compelling to an average visitor coming to this site. It's also not a message that Coiled finds great value in. There are, I think, more compelling messages that we can deliver.
In general I recommend not pursuing this PR specifically, and instead think more about reforming Pangeo docs.
