Strategic Sponsorship
Strategic sponsorship for ecosystem-defining organizations.
A small number of strategic sponsor slots are reserved for organizations making material contributions to the software factory ecosystem. Strategic sponsors fund foundation-wide infrastructure and earn naming rights on flagship events.

No tier confers preferential treatment.
Standards votes are tier-based, but no organization — regardless of dues paid — can override the foundation's technical process or working group ratification rules.
