Make a "Sponsored by Sentry" badge

[chadwhitacre]

We received an ask through Zendesk for a banner an Open Source project can use in their README when they are part of our gift-in-kind program.

Jira🔒

Would we want to differentiate gift-in-kind sponsorship from direct financial sponsorship?

Awesome, thanks :)

Easy option is https://img.shields.io/badge/monitored%20by-sentry-purple. 🙃

@fwild Where would you like this banner to appear? I am opening a ticket with Sentry's creative team and additional context on how you would like to use this would be helpful. 🙏

On our GitHub project page :) - I guess we'd best add it to the README, unless you know an option how to make it show up under Sponsorship or in another section?

A README badge seems easiest.

@fwild I see you went with a Shields.io badge in https://github.com/WEKIT-ECS/MIRAGE-XR/commit/577cda75058d6229d1e8396433795d110d05bd27. I guess the opportunity here for Sentry is to promote our "For Open Source" program. I'm talking with our design team about this. Would a button with text like "Sponsored by Sentry for Open Source" and a link to https://sentry.io/for/open-source/ seem right to you @fwild?

We also have "For Non-profits" and "For Education." Should we make badges for those, too? Should we tell people about these badges somewhere, after they are approved for one or another program, or maybe on the main landing pages for each?

@fwild Thoughts on this?

The idea would be to link this back to https://sentry.io/for/open-source/. If you are okay with this I will move forward with adding it to our landing pages with suggested markdown/markup.

Slight iteration to tighten it up. Floated on Twitter, I intend to move forward with this version.
