[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] sponsors page

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 935 bytes --]

Hi all

i was talking with a company, who wants to sponsor FFmpeg
they asked if they would be listed in the GitHub readme.

I think we should instead add a sponsors.md and link to forgejo of it (forgejo can render .md)
or
instead put a sponsors.html on our webpage
similar to https://www.python.org/psf/sponsors/

the later would be release independant

what do people prefer ?

should we create that page with the first sponsor or wait until there are
multiple sponsors before creating the page ?

(Its plausible the first sponsors will be less well known companies)

should listing on that page be conditional on some sponsor level ?
or just all levels in order

Our levels: https://dir.floss.fund/view/funding/@ffmpeg.org (stolen from python)

thx

I suggest we create a dedicated sponsor page.
As part of this, we should also define a more meaningful order for the list,
as sorting solely by year may not be the most effective approach.

https://www.python.org/psf/sponsors/   sorts by the amount the sponsors contribute

I intend to use the same sorting, same terms and same values

Visionary Sponsor       USD 155000	Yearly
Sustainability Sponsor  USD 95000	Yearly
Maintaining Sponsor     USD 63000	Yearly
Contributing Sponsor    USD 33000	Yearly
Supporting Sponsor      USD 16500	Yearly
Partner Sponsor         USD 11000	Yearly
Participating Sponsor   USD 4000	Yearly
Associate Sponsor       USD 1500	Yearly

we already list these here:
https://dir.floss.fund/view/funding/@ffmpeg.org

thx
