As you may know, blueCFD-Core has reached thousands of people around the world, delivering a convenient, high quality and easy to use Windows port of OpenFOAM. As OpenFOAM evolves, this need remains as pressing as ever.
Since we started the project, we have been thrilled and thankful to assist the OpenFOAM community in this way.
In this spirit, and since OpenFOAM continually matures, it is natural that blueCFD-Core follows suit. So, to ensure blueCFD-Core’s future, it is time to step-up a notch and kindly request your participation. In return, we are happy to recognize your company’s involvement, similarly to the current sponsors on the project’s webpage.
Essentially, we would like to invite you to support our 2024 Support Drive.
If you are inclined to assess this proposition, please read on as we have more details on what your support can enable in blueCFD-Core.
We envision three participation levels:
Sponsor, if you want to help steer the project by contributing development plans and jointly or exclusively fund them (>5000$US). Your company’s name and logo will appear prominently on the project’s webpage and on the next major release of the installer, as a Sponsor.
Benefactor, if you benefit from blueCFD-Core at your company and would like to shore up its future availability (>500$US). Your company’s name and logo will appear on the project’s webpage as a Benefactor.
Patron, if you are an individual or a small company and just want to say thank you, with a tip (any amount). You will be recognized by name/alias.
Note: If you need an invoice or prefer to do a bank transfer, please contact us at donate@bluecfd.com. If you want to provide further input for the project and ideas, please note that we have a dedicated place for this.
