Hi cameron
right now there is no simple way to give money to pharo but we are working on
it. What is the amount that you have in mind.
here is a sketch about what we are thinking after I gathered the ideas people
mentioned during the pharo conference.
Individus managed via the association
=================
- Supporter 40 Euros + cup/goody
reduction at conference
- Ambassador Supporter 99 Euros
reduction at conferences + cup
- Donation
- Training sessions cheaper
- Conference reduction
managed by INRIA
=========
A company or an institution can be a consortium member:
The annual fees are
- Bronze 1000 Euros
- Silver 2000 Euros
- Gold 4000 Euros
Institutions 1000 Euros
Main advantages for members.
==========================
Non individual members of the consortium get the following advantages:
- privileged access to the core development team via a specific
mailing-list
[email protected]
- influence priorities of the next development. The member will be able
to propose
agenda point and items for the core team. They will be requested one
month in
advance before the annual committee meeting.
- get access to privileged support
- Bronze gets one day of support and platinum sponsor status.
- Silver two days of support + one job description for job
dashboard and platinum sponsor status.
- Gold four days of support + 3 job description for job
dashboard and platinum sponsor status.
- Training special prices and possibility to become pharo trainer
- Member can advertise themselves on the consortium web site
- Member can also ask and pay for extra support days at 1000 Euros per
day.
- The consortium can provide access experts for certain tasks.
Sponsoring
=============
normal 500 Euros
platinium 1000 Euros
- Sponsor will get their logos name exposed to the consortium web site.
(the idea is that small companies can pay something)
License 500 Euros
=============
- via a member a non member company can also ask and
**pay** for extra support days at 800 Euros per day.
- via a member a non member company can also get
privileged access to core dev via a mailing-list.
(the idea there is to make it like an insurance or a way to
people to donate)
Job offers dashboard
=============
External entities can post job offers to the consortium job offers for
1000 Euros for one job
2000 Euros for an undefined number
