Become a Sponsor
The OCA Sponsorship Program allows corporations and organizations to show their support for the OCA community and to contribute financially to the future of the OCA.
Who is the Sponsorship Program for? Any company or organization wanting to support the OCA financially can become a sponsor.
By sponsoring the OCA you show your support for our mission and help sustain a vibrant organization. Sponsorship also shows your support for Open Source and provides you the opportunity to "give back" to the community.
The OCA officially recognizes sponsors in official OCA communications. All sponsorship donations are acknowledged with your logo and website link on the OCA homepage. Sponsorship gives you the right to include the official OCA Sponsor logo on your website. Additional benefits are also provided at different sponsorship levels – Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
The OCA provides the infrastructure for the projects - the mailing lists, code repositories, bug tracking systems, etc. These resources are maintained by a few paid contractors (as well as by large amounts of volunteer effort). This, in addition to the large costs of bandwidth and server hardware, constitutes the bulk of the expense of running the Association.
