Re: [microprofile-wg] [BALLOT] Updated MicroProfile Steering Committee Membership Fee Table. VOTE by Friday, November 12th
|
-1 (iJUG)
Some notes on this topic:
General:
It is very easily to reduce the fee,
while hard to bring it up (again) - this might result in loosing
some members!
While still discussing the Program Plan
(what to do) reducing the revenues upfront generates a significant
budget constraint (we have not discussed the budget yet). So on my
opinion it's the wrong time to vote now (see also this thread:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/microprofile-wg/msg01122.html )!
Adjusting the fees from time to time to
the needs itself is more than valid - no one would like to pay
fees, that could not be spend in the WGs activities in a useful
manner, aka wasting money. But this need to be done carefully.
Specific:
iJUG belongs to the lowest category of
the so called Corporate Members - in fact iJUG is not a regular
business corporation, it is a community organisation.
The worth we bring into the project is
the time and content our members bring into the Working Group, not
mainly the 1500 $/a. But believe it or not, in an organisation
representing 43 JUGs it is hard to fight for even that budget on
top of the EF membership fees, especially because MPWG is the only
one of our WGs, where you have to pay extra for organisations like
us!
Another problem for us is, that we have
to spend the money in a different currency than the EF membership
fees, resulting in a moving target for the budget, generating
additional internal discussions. When lowering the fees in
combination with changing the currency, this might be a chance not
raising up the total payment with the mentioned problems above -
when all categories affected from the change of course.
Following the current Program Plan
draft, supporting and attracting the community is a goal, why not
create a new free membership category (like in Jakarta EE or
Adoptium)? As mentioned by Paul this could solve other problems
too (regarding Compatibility Program).
As mentioned in the other thread
already, valid and important topics like this should be discussed
in a Steering Committee meeting too, so all implications of the
decision could be discussed properly, before they are done.
