[Buildbot-devel] Be a Buildbot Sponsor, or a Buildbot fellow

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

First, I want to take a moment to say thank-you to those who have made
donations through Buildbot's website.  Every little bit helps us keep
the lights on, and gives us the flexibility to support fellows.

We've recently established a sponsorship program within Buildbot:
  http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/Sponsorship

If you're an organization or company that uses Buildbot heavily and
would like to support the project, you're invited to become a sponsor.

On the other hand, if you're a hacker with some time you could devote
to the project, but can't afford to volunteer that time, then you're
invited to become a Buildbot fellow.  We'll agree on a project (best
from http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/ProjectIdeas, although anything
generally beneficial to the project is OK), a timeframe, deliverables,
and payment, and off you go.  Get in touch with us at
botherders at buildbot.net to get started.

I hope this new system can help increase Buildbot's velocity a little,
while recognizing the project's support from users and developers.
