To get the ball rolling on this chain. Bloomberg thinks this is a good idea and a needed
step to ensure the foundation and project are on sound financial footing for the
foreseeable future. We are planning to move to the Platinum level of sponsorship for n our
next renewal cycle.

Dear Ceph Foundation Members,
Please review proposed new member benefits and tiers:
https://forms.gle/TQaHjCTC5FJdvU4PA
Recently the board has been discussing changes to the membership tier structure. Since the
foundation was founded in 2018, fees have been flat, while expenses have increased. We
have prepared a new 4-tier model for Ceph Foundation membership.
This new model will re-secure the health of our Foundation. It will allow us to maintain
and invest in the Test and Release Infrastructure, the Ceph Documentation, and events such
as Cephalocon and Ceph Days.
The proposed model adds a new Platinum level above the existing General and Premier
membership tiers, and a Gold level between them. The new levels and added member benefits
are outlined in this document:

These have gone through one round of review with the board, and we have adapted the tiers
based on feedback from the board members. There are several companies that have expressed
interest in joining the new tiers and find the new benefits attractive.
We warmly invite all foundation members to share their feedback and help come to a
consensus on this proposal. Please submit your input via the Google Doc or to
Neha/Josh/Dan directly.
Thank you all for being the backbone of the Ceph Foundation. We count on your input to
secure the future of our project!
Neha, Josh, and Dan
Ceph Executive Council _______________________________________________
