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.
The Odoo Community Association projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
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.
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. Finally, since the OCA is non-profit organization, sponsorship provides attractive tax benefits.
