Draft docs for recognition and sponsorship #321
Conversation
| The most common form of individual contribution to the Flux project is | ||
| time and effort. Thus, the project recognises people who reported | ||
| issues, fixed bugs, wrote documentation, reviewed pull requests, and | ||
| so on, by thanking them on the Flux website. |

These are contributors, not sponsors. Sponsors would e.g. have a dedicated page or other place where they would be highlighted.
Ah, misread. I think we should either add a ref to the section or just refer to "the contributor section on the homepage of the Flux website".

👍 Yeah I could be more precise here

Do we need to specify this in the doc?
I would suggest adding a sponsored by section on the homepage of fluxcd.io, We already have an adopters section now, featuring adopters logos. I think it's fair to add a similar section for sponsors too. Also probably easy since we have the code for adopters. Note that helm.sh has sponsor logos on the home page too.

This document should include details on the ways we will recognize such contributions. A dedicated section on the website near the individual contributors' avatar gallery is one option. A dedicated page is another one.

See #321 (comment)
But again, I suggest we don't need to specify the exact details of this in this doc. This would allow us to merge as-is, whereas now this PR has been open since last year. We can always give more specifics if we really feel we need to spell it out here.

I wonder whether we need or should weave this into the GOVERNANCE.md document so that sponsorship is more tied into the overall governance of the project and doesn't live a life in isolation from everything else.
The least this document should do is make clear what it means by "Flux maintainers". I suppose this should mean core maintainers.

@makkes do you agree we should include all Flux maintainers - automated from the source of truth here - not only core (fluxcd/flux2)?

@squaremo I'd love to help getting this merged asap. There's only 2 comments open that sound like they're pretty quickly addressed. wdyt? |
These are for two related purposes: 1. recognise help from people and orgs (mainly orgs) that isn't time and effort; like, free CI accounts 2. make room for sponsorships, which opens up another way for people and orgs (mainly orgs) to help the Flux project I expect these will need a few iterations. I just wanted to get them in view. Signed-off-by: Michael Bridgen <[email protected]>
