Sponsors
JHipster uses OpenCollective to gather money. This money is used to cover project expenses (like running this website) in a transparent way (See the OpenCollective documentation), and your donation will help the project live and grow successfully.
Benefits of being a sponsor
- Visibility on the front page of http://www.jhipster.tech for all sponsors and backers (about 100,000 views/month at the end of 2017)
- Visibility on the Readme file of the main project for all sponsors and backers (about 15,000 views/month at the end of 2017)
- Company logos on all http://www.jhipster.tech pages for gold sponsors (about 450,000 views/month at the end of 2017)
- “Thank you” tweet from @java_hipster
More benefits will come in the future!
Please go to our OpenCollective page to become a sponsor.
What will the project do with the money?
As you can read in the OpenCollective documentation, the way your money will be used will be public and totally transparent.
Anyone can file an expense. If the expense makes sense for the development of the community, it will be “merged” in the ledger of our open collective by the core contributors and the person who filed the expense will be reimbursed.
Money will first be used to cover direct project costs:
- Website hosting
- Developer tooling
Then, money will be used to:
- Pay for project goodies
- Pay Meetup fees
- Pay expenses for developer gatherings: travel & food expenses for core team meetings
And if we have enough money, we might in the future give “bug bounties” to developers who correct major bugs or add impressive new features.
