I think a paid sponsorship would be a good approach. For instance. You could 
break it down by companies and consultants. A possible structure could be as 
follows.



Corporate Sponsors (Companies, hosting, agencies etc)

Platinum Partners: $5000 annual fee

Gold Partners: $2500 annual fee

Silver partners: $1500 annual fee

Bronze partner: $500 annual fee



Consultants: (freelancers, designers, developers and moonlighters)

Minimum of xx amount of TYPO3 sites completed for entry or some kind of 
minimum requirement.

Platinum Partners: $500 annual fee

Gold Partners: $250 annual fee

Silver partners: $150 annual fee

Bronze partner: $50 annual fee



By creating a fee structure, this would do a number of things.

1. Creates a budget for marketing and other assorted capital intensive 
projects.

2. Separates the posers from the serious players.

3. Adds a level of professionalism to the association.



Each level could have additional perks, such as logos and mention in 
advertising, PR, and other marketing materials. Higher level sponsors might 
have a better listing in a potential job board. Think of conference 
sponsorships where you have assorted sponsors with their given logo and 
company profiles.



Lower level sponsors may be less prominently displayed and possibly an 
additional fee for referrals and job postings. But there will still have the 
opportunity to place there logo on marketing marketers, but for an 
additional cost, be it a small cost.



Ultimately this website should be a place where potential TYPO3 customers 
should be able to make a fully informed decision on which company best suits 
there needs. Obviously a platinum sponsor, for instance Enomaly, would be 
probably not able to take a project for less then $10- $15k, where a bronze 
level company would be more then happy with a $2500 project.



Does this make sense?
