Sponsorship

The deegree Project Steering Committee has an annual budget used to fund maintenance activities, code sprints, and research and development that is beyond the reach of an individual contributor. The project will also announce specific activities throughout the year, being sure to thank sponsors when describing functionality in release notes and presentations.

As with any open source activity, the hands-on 'in-kind' participation shown during code sprints and ongoing commitment of our core contributors exceed any financial contribution.

Sponsorship and associated recognition is an opportunity for the development team of deegree to thank those who can contribute financially.

If you wish to make a financial contribution to the deegree project you may do so via the Open Source Geospatial Foundation as described below.

Sponsor via Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Sponsorship via GitHub Sponsors:

Use GitHub Sponsors to donate towards OSGeo Foundation via GitHub. Great for ongoing donations, provides some sponsorship matching, a GitHub sticker, and avoids PayPal overhead. More about GitHub Sponsors.

What is Sponsorship for?

The sponsorship funds will be used for maintenance tasks, as determined by the Project and Technical Steering Committees. The existence of the maintenance funds will help to ensure that the project infrastructure is maintained and kept up-to-date as well that activities such as preparing and releasing deegree versions can be assigned and performed in a timely manner.

What is Sponsorship not for?

The sponsorship money is not intended to be directed towards specific developments of features or bugs submitted by sponsors. The usual mechanism for these kinds of activities is to get in contact with a OSGeo Service Provider or individual active committer.

Financing and funding of software development

In case you want to financially contribute to deegree for specific feature requests get in contact with one of the OSGeo Service Providers.
