๐Ÿ’ธ Sponsorship tiers [due Nov 9]

๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Vote progress

The Commonhaus Foundation relies on the generous support of our sponsors.

Working closely with advice from our @commonhaus/advisory-board, weโ€™ve established a set of sponsorship tiers to recognize our supporters. In keeping with our theme of transparency and collaboration, we will manage sponsorship details within the foundation repository. Specifically, the SPONSORS.yaml file will list our sponsoring companies along with their display and description information, similar to how we handle projects with PROJECTS.yaml.

Iโ€™ve also put the machinery in place to generate two webpages from this content (currently placeholder content, not yet indexed):

  • Monetary Sponsors: This page will highlight sponsors who provide financial support.
  • In-Kind Sponsors: This page will credit those who provide infrastructure, software, and other essential services. The focus will be on the services they provide, rather than a company profile.

In terms of character limits for each tier, Iโ€™ve kept it concise:

  • Silver: Essentially the length of a tweet (240 characters).
  • Gold: Double that length (480 characters).
  • In-kind: A tweet. I would like this page to focus on the services provided.

Iโ€™d like to gather feedback from everyone, though this is primarily a council decision, as it affects the foundationโ€™s operations. Input on the wording, layout, and structure is very welcome before we proceed to finalize the content.

voting group: @commonhaus/cf-council

Do one of the following:

  • Approve the PR or react with ๐Ÿ‘ (:+1:) if it looks good to you
  • Review with Comments or react with ๐Ÿ‘€ (:eyes:) if you're "ok" with it (it may not be your favorite)
  • If you think it needs discussion or revision
    • Create a review, add your comments and require changes
    • Use the +- button to make a suggestion (instead of just adding a comment).
Note

This PR also consolidates linting/validation-related code into the .github directory, and updates YAML validation to include checking sponsor descriptions against character count limits (excluding html links, punctuation, and whitespace).
