- All sponsorships are donations to the WordPress community and although we try to give a level of promotion based upon our gratitude none of the outlined points or any level of marketing promotion are guaranteed with your sponsorship. This is only a guideline of what we would like to give in gratitude, if possible. We encourage our sponsors to engage with our community and learn themselves rather than use this opportunity purely for promotion.<\/li>\n
- If you or your company deals in WordPress-derivative works (plugins, themes, etc), those must be 100% GPL (not split license) or compatible, the same guidelines followed on WordPress.org.<\/li>\n
- Sponsors may apply for speaking opportunities but will not be guaranteed to speak.<\/li>\n
- Funds must be received before sponsorship is announced.<\/li>\n
- Any excess proceeds from the event are donated to the non-profit WordPress foundation to help future WordPress events.<\/li>\n
- We are willing to discuss unique or alternate sponsorship opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
