MicroProfile
2021 Budget Discussion
Eclipse Foundation will deliver a budget presentation. Budget Governance,
the first half of the presentation was recorded. Sharon, EMO, asked
for the 2nd portion of the presentation, Budget discussion & approval not to be recorded.
Additional material:
Question on existing vendor relationships came up and how it relates to
EMO managing vendor relationships. EF has vendor relationships and MicroProfile members have vendor relationships. If established relationships are cost effective, the intent is to continue using those vendors. The desire is for those MP vendors to work with
the EF directly.
For money already spent on program plan items, the EF will work with MP
SC to reimburse SC members that funded the 2021 program plan items. Future reimbursements, to Members executing the work, are possible if within the budget and approved by the WG.
Question was brought up on ~$1K difference between EF marketing budget and
MicroProfile Marketing assumed budget. Agreed to take offline or discuss after presentation.
Question on $40K cost of compatibility program. Will be covered in more
detail on Monday’s Marketing call. The $40K will be adjusted based on the work done by the MicroProfile community.
Question on using Google AdWords for marketing. Briefly covered that the
Marketing team came up with the budgeted amount.
Agreed to “collaborate/discuss” the $40K trademark allocated spend when
the time comes.
Platform spec defines compatibility rules. If certification applies to individual/component
specs, then additional trademark work needs to be done.
Clarification of ongoing vs one-time costs needs to be stated within the
budget. Plan for a budget-ready resolution next Tuesday.
