  2. Crowdfunded sponsorship for specific developments (special guest @norbertbede)
    • So far we've said.
      • a - We think about limiting this to only top makers at first.
      • b - Before asking for funds in the forums, the top makers must ask the iDempiere project for permission
      • c - iDempiere must approve (To be determined which team in iDempiere approves)
    • There's a difference between donation and sponsorship:
      • Donations are money sent by people to the project without a specific goal. They are sent to help the project financially and make sure that the project stays alive and running.
      • Sponsorship is money sent by people with a very clear goal in mind and with a purpose. If the goal is not reached, ideally, that money should be given back to avoid missunderstandings
    • @chuckboecking believes a postmortem for each project is important. The project entertains these funding initiatives to help strengthen the project community. It is important to ask the question upon conclusion: did we strengthen the project? If the answer is no, decisions need to be made.
    • This is a first draft of how the process would look like:
      • Create a sponsorship request as detailed as possible (probably we need to think about a template or alike)
      • Present it to iDempeire
      • Wait for approval
      • Publish on forums and follow up
    • We continue next week with the discussion.
