Re: [tycho-dev] mentioning 'sponsors' of a bugfix
|
> what happens if we don't do it?
Probably nothing, but it might attract sponsors to invest more if its
'that easy' (in contrast to getting a company ECA setup and negotiated) to:
a) get something fixed
b) get some extra revenue by getting mentioned somewhere (maybe even in
the release notes for greater invest/contributions)
c) might attract others (but that's speculative) to participate in the
same way: if company X do it we probably should also do it
I think this is similar to croud-funding platforms stuff or similar to
"friends-of-eclipse" badge ... Some project even maintain a complete
page of sponsors from big (~5000$ contributions) to even lowest (1$) see
[1] for example.

That's my understanding too so for sure there is no guarantee that the
hint might not be removed some point later if project decides to remove
Contributors completely (I must confess I sometimes miss to edit/enhance
it anyways).

Hi,
Before we start brainstorming too much, my immediate question would be:
what happens if we don't do it? If the sponsor is still going to honor
the deal and if this has no forseeable impact on the current or future
investment of this sponsor for the Tycho project; I'd suggest we don't
bother.
Now, about the "Contributors" section, this is IIRC pretty useless and
can be freely edited, and even removed later. So I personally don't mind
adding a few things here, if it appears to be profitable to the project
or its regular contributor (circling back to previous question).
Cheers,
