SVTA Open-Source Sponsorship
SVTA Open-Source projects, such as dash.js, Livesim2, and CML, provide key technologies to streaming video tech stacks. These projects, while maintained by the SVTA, include contributes from across the industry.
Why Should You Sponsor an SVTA Open-Source Project?
There are many reasons to sponsor an SVTA Open-Source project:
- Industry commitment. By helping to fund the development and maintenance of key technologies used throughout the industry, like dash.js, you are communicating your commitment and support of these projects.
- Industry credibility. For technologies like dash.js, which is widely used in production environments, your support tells your partners, customers, and employees that you are a contributor to foundational technology in the industry.
- Continual acknowledgement. All sponsors will be acknowledged on the OSS project page in perpetuity.

We did our product reveal at a demo table during an SVTA event where we were one of a handful of tables with a refined crowd of thought leaders and decision makers. The event put us on the map, and set the stage for multiple key partnerships.

How Can You Sponsor?
When it comes to OSS projects, there are two primary ways to show your support:
Financial Sponsorship
Companies that want to contribute financially to an OSS project. The money is used to fund development and maintenance work. All proceeds go directly to the project.
Contribution
If you want to provide engineering hours from your employees, you can opt to contribute a specific number of hours to the project. The project maintainer and the working group will determine where best to allocate the hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Anyone can sponsor one of our meetings. But if you are not a member and choose to do a demo table sponsorship (which includes physical attendance at the meeting), you will not be able to attend any of the sessions.
We only provide attendee list information to SVTA member companies. So if you are not a current member but elect to sponsor, you will not have access to any attendee information.
