Sponsoring¶
If you think “Hey, Gerrie is a cool and useful project. It helps me, my team or my company a lot” it would be nice if you think about to contribute back with a small sponsorship. If we are talking about a sponsorship there are several different ways as well:
- Financial: You can sponsor money back to us e.g. to take a bill of a pizza, a beer or for a new feature.
- Developer: If you got a team of developer (e.g. you are an agency / company owner) we would love to see new contributer who will fix a bug or add a new feature.
