Enable GitHub Sponsors

[danielrheinbay]

Dear @genotrance,

at @Daimler and at Mercedes-Benz, we ❤️ FOSS. This year, we have started to give back more than just code to the FOSS community by supporting select FOSS projects financially. The second round of nominations has started, and based on our internal use of px, px has been nominated to receive a donation. At this time, we can make financial contributions only via GitHub Sponsors. However, the px repository does not yet offer a GitHub Sponsors option. If you are interested in receiving donations through GitHub Sponsors, may we suggest joining the GitHub Sponsors program? You can find more information here:

• https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/displaying-a-sponsor-button-in-your-repository
• https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/receiving-sponsorships-through-github-sponsors/about-github-sponsors-for-open-source-contributors
• https://github.blog/2019-06-12-faq-with-the-github-sponsors-team/

In case of any questions regarding our commitment to FOSS or to discuss the next steps, please do not hesitate to contact our FOSS Office at foss@daimler.com.

Kind regards Daniel Rheinbay on behalf of Daimler TSS GmbH Provider Information

Hi @genotrance , thank you very much! Just fyi how we plan to proceed from the Mercedes-Benz/Daimler side: Right now, we intend to kick off the next round of sponsorings sometime in February. :-)
