<h1 align=center>The SQLite Consortium</h1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
The SQLite Consortium is a membership association dedicated to
 | 
						|
insuring the continuing vitality and independence of SQLite.
 | 
						|
SQLite is high-quality, public domain software.  The goal of
 | 
						|
the SQLite Consortium is to make sure it stays that way.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
Consortium members contribute funding to support the ongoing
 | 
						|
development and maintenance of SQLite and in return receive
 | 
						|
enterprise-level technical support and legal assurances that
 | 
						|
SQLite will remain independent and open-source.  Consortium 
 | 
						|
members have direct access to
 | 
						|
the SQLite developers and receive priority consideration for
 | 
						|
any bug fixes or feature requests.  However, technical control
 | 
						|
and direction of SQLite remains with the SQLite architect and
 | 
						|
developers.  An important goal of the SQLite Consortium, after
 | 
						|
all, is to make sure that SQLite does not fall under the governance
 | 
						|
of any single company but remains independent and fully under the
 | 
						|
control of the SQLite developers.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
Companies that use SQLite as a critical component in their
 | 
						|
products or infrastructure may want to consider becoming
 | 
						|
SQLite Consortium Members as inexpensive insurance
 | 
						|
in the future vitality and independence of SQLite.  The SQLite Consortium 
 | 
						|
membership fee is a fraction of the cost of devoting internal
 | 
						|
staff to supporting the SQLite code base.  Benefits of
 | 
						|
membership include:
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<ul>
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Consortium members have the guaranteed, undivided attention of the SQLite
 | 
						|
developers for 23 staff-days per year and for as much additional time 
 | 
						|
above and beyond that amount that the core developers have available.
 | 
						|
There are no arbitrary limits on contact time.
 | 
						|
The consortium will never be over-subscribed.  New SQLite developers
 | 
						|
will be recruited and trained as necessary to cover the 23 day/year
 | 
						|
support commitment.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Consortium members can call any developer at any time, day or
 | 
						|
night, and expect to get their full and immediate attention.
 | 
						|
Consortium members have access to the home telephone numbers
 | 
						|
and cellphone numbers and work schedules of the core developers
 | 
						|
so that the developers can be tracked down quickly in a crisis.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
The SQLite developers are eager and happy to write new code
 | 
						|
or debug existing code for consortium members.
 | 
						|
Consortium members can request and expect to receive significant
 | 
						|
new enhancements to the public SQLite code base.  Consortium
 | 
						|
members can also request their own private, proprietary extensions
 | 
						|
and enhancements.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Consortium members can receive support for any
 | 
						|
version of SQLite no matter how old.
 | 
						|
Bug fixes will be back ported to older versions of SQLite upon
 | 
						|
request.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Consortium members can receive private
 | 
						|
email and/or telephone notifications and briefings covering
 | 
						|
new bugs or recently added features.
 | 
						|
The core developers are constantly watching out for the
 | 
						|
interests of consortium members and will attempt to protect
 | 
						|
those interests in every way possible and alert members
 | 
						|
when their interests are threatened in any way.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
The SQLite developers will set up customized regression tests
 | 
						|
to fully and completely test SQLite as configured by consortium
 | 
						|
members.  Normally, only the standard SQLite configuration is fully
 | 
						|
tested at each release.  Consortium members that use a non-standard 
 | 
						|
configuration can request that their configuration be tested to the 
 | 
						|
same level of detail.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Support requests are accepted from any employee or contractor working
 | 
						|
for a consortium member.
 | 
						|
Support is not limited to a single development
 | 
						|
team as it is with a maintenance subscription or technical support
 | 
						|
agreement.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
Support requests, comments, and suggestions for future
 | 
						|
changes to SQLite coming from consortium members take priority 
 | 
						|
over requests from all other sources.
 | 
						|
Consortium members go to the front of the line.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<li><p>
 | 
						|
We will be happy to 
 | 
						|
<a href="index.html#consortium_members">recognize consortium members</a>
 | 
						|
 on the SQLite website
 | 
						|
with a logo and/or a brief acknowledgement of their contribution to the
 | 
						|
project.  This is an opportunity for companies to build good will by
 | 
						|
demonstrating that they are giving back to the community.  Or, members 
 | 
						|
can remain anonymous.
 | 
						|
</p></li>
 | 
						|
