Dear member of the XMPP Community,
Like every year, we are grateful that the XMPP Standards Foundation had
several sponsors in 2019. These contributions allow the XSF to pursue
its mission <https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/mission> to build an open
infrastructure for real-time communication based on XMPP. We would like
to kindly ask you to consider if your organization could sponsor the XSF
in 2020.
Sponsorship is the primary source of funds for the XSF. Besides costs
for running the XSF as a corporation and its (online) infrastructure, we
spend these funds on participating in events, as well as organizing
events like the XMPP Summit, FOSDEM, and meetups. This includes
purchasing and transporting promotion materials (posters, stickers,
clothing), as well as lunch at the Summit.
Your contribution also enables the XSF to sponsor travel for people, so
they can attend such events. An example is inviting former students of
Google's Summer of Code, as an encouragement to remain active in our
community. For this year, we are looking into funding work on necessary
maintenance on our infrastructure.
If you would like to be an XSF sponsor in 2020, please let us know at
spons...@xmpp.org <mailto:spons...@xmpp.org>, along with your desired
sponsorship level and contact details. We will then send you an invoice
to complete the application. More information on sponsorship levels and
benefits can be found on the sponsorship page on our website
<https://xmpp.org/community/sponsorship.html>. Should you have any
questions, please let us know at that same e-mail address.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kind regards,
Ralph Meijer
Chair of the XMPP Standards Foundation
