-<h1 class="title">Sponsoring OpenLayers</h1>
-<p>Development and maintenance of OpenLayers is supported by a core team of
-developers, who seek to maintain a high quality code base driven by the needs
-of their users and customers. The support and contributions of a wide variety
-of participants has fostered the development of a high quality library that is
-now the de facto standard for open source web mapping.</p>
-<p>However, there are many aspects of the project that do not receive the
-attention they should. Crucial tasks, such as writing documentation, offering
-ad hoc support to users, and processing of bug reports often receive less attention
-than would be desired - or, when the attention is given, it comes at the cost
-of time that might otherwise be spent improving the library. Meanwhile, many
-organizations have made an investment in using OpenLayers as part of their
-operations, but have not had a way to directly contribute to the success and
-long-term health of the project.</p>
-<p>In order to provide funding to support the maintenance, improvement, and
-promotion of OpenLayers, the Project Steering Committee (PSC) is seeking sponsors
-to provide financial support via the OSGeo Project Sponsorship program. Funds
-will be held by the OSGeo Foundation for disposition on behalf of the project,
-and disbursed at the discretion of the OpenLayers PSC.</p>
-<p>Sponsorship should not be seen as a way to control the development of the
-project directly, but rather a way of ensuring the longevity and overall health
-of the project, by funding work that is regarded as vital but otherwise
-undersupported by the contributions of developers using OpenLayers in their
-own projects.</p>
-<div class="section" id="goals-of-sponsorship">
-<h1>Goals of Sponsorship</h1>
-<p>The OpenLayers community has established high-level goals for
-the use of funds from sponsors. The PSC votes periodically to
-allocate funds according to these priorities. The PSC also
-periodically votes to revise these priorities.</p>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>Make it easier for both JavaScript experts and also those just
-starting out to adopt and use OpenLayers.</li>
-<li>Make OpenLayers globally known as an easy way to build rich mapping
-applications.</li>
-<li>Expand the number of people contributing functionality and
-improvements to the OpenLayers code base.</li>
-<li>Make OpenLayers a more useful and higher quality web mapping toolkit
-by enhancing the library.</li>
-</ol>
-</div>
-<div class="section" id="sponsorship-uses">
-<h1>Sponsorship Uses</h1>
-<p>The sponsorship funds will be spent to further the above goals by both
-funding tasks that receive less attention without direct support, and
-by funding work on more rote project tasks so that core contributors
-can focus efforts on library improvements.</p>
-<p>Examples of expenditures include:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>Paying specific developers at PSC-negotiated rates for tasks such as:<ul>
-<li>Triage of bug reports, i.e. reproducing, then fixing or passing on to
-another developer a particular bug.</li>
-<li>Extending the test suite for existing and new features to help
-improve library quality and prevent regressions.</li>
-<li>Improving documentation to lower the bar to entry for the project.</li>
-<li>General improvements to the software, especially as they meet the needs
-of the wider OpenLayers community.</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li>Funding participation in organized project activities, such as code
-sprints or other community building activities.</li>
-<li>Funding project participation in conferences that help expand the
-OpenLayers community.</li>
-<li>Provisioning resources such as web hosting</li>
-</ul>

-<h1>Sponsorship Benefits</h1>
-<p>Sponsoring OpenLayers provides the following benefits:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>Sponsorship will help ensure the sustainability and health of the
-OpenLayers project.</li>
-<li>Sponsors will be listed in the credits/authors sections of the
-OpenLayers project documentation, ordered by contribution class,
-with a link back to the sponsor. Additionally, sponsors will be
-listed on the OpenLayers sponsor page, linked prominently from the
-OpenLayers homepage. Silver sponsors and above may include a logo.
-Platinum sponsors may also have their logo placed directly on the
-OpenLayers home page.</li>
-<li>Sponsors will be permitted to indicate they are project sponsors in
-web and other promotional materials.</li>
-<li>Sponsor input on project focus and direction will be solicited via
-regular sponsor surveys, though such feedback does not imply any
-direct control over the direction of the project.</li>
-<li>Sponsors will receive a degree of priority in developer feedback on
-bug reports during any routine maintainence paid for with
-sponsorship funds.</li>
-<li>Sponsors will receive a detailed annual report on the use of
-sponsorship funds.</li>
-</ol>

-<p>Sponsors can sponsor OpenLayers for any amount of money of at least $500
