Corporate support and contribution

Writing the review of the Dublin Collaborator summit, we did discuss a lot about how the corporation support the technologies they use (in our case Node.js)

Most of the companies use the technologies, reap the reward without participating nor spending time contributing (or even opening issue or provide feedback)

This issue is here to discuss about global solution and what we could do

Ideas

• have a corporate way to present what is open sources, benefits, how to contribute and all others points around that. Maybe the Linux Foundation or OpenJS Foundation already got that ? It could help people in companies to present the topics to managers / C-levels
• easy way for manager to provide funding and an easy way for donation. How can we have a process like that which would generate an invoice (or others type of official document for companies)
• an official page with all the "sponsors" ? some special invitation on events ? Certifications discount ?

Start with issue #177 and its five comments, since no files, tests, or entry points are identified. Review the proposed corporate support, funding, donation, sponsorship, and certification ideas; the work would need an agreed, actionable direction before implementation can be defined.
