<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>
|
|
|
|
