advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open source community you can join online why individual membership the osi is moving its governance from a model of volunteer and self appointed directors to one driven by members our high level objectives in doing so are to provide a broad meeting place for everyone who shares an interest in open source software with the continuing aim of strengthening the osi so that it can more effectively fulfill its goals over the long term these goals include safely maintaining the open source definition managing the approval of open source licenses and publicly supporting the widespread adoption and use of open source software we believe that having a large global membership base is an excellent way to achieve those goals and that our individual members will be able to advocate for open source in their communities and organizations individual members combined with osi affiliate organizations can help make the osi the strongest voice for open source around the world what are the benefits to membership becoming an osi individual member provides several benefits please check the list of benefits here list of individual member benefits who can join anyone can join because the osi is based in the us we cannot accept contributions from certain countries where economic embargoes are in place if you are in such a country please contact us so that we can provide you with a complimentary membership why should we join the osi is at a transformative stage in its history in addition to your financial support of osi you can help to define the ways for the osi to achieve its mission you can publicize your membership add it to your resumé and encourage others to join and support the osi what is the commitment individual membership does not involve any formal commitment to participate in the activities of the osi however there are many things that members can do to help advance the goals of the osi express public support for open source and for the osi if time permits serve on one or more osi working groups or committees which carry out the activities of the osi where possible make annual contributions towards the running of osi help mobilize awareness of issues around the world that affect open source software what are the membership fees there are different membership levels you may set up your account to be automatically billed each year we also offer free memberships for students and those that might find the annual commitment too much a burden what do the membership fees support while the osi has managed to be effective with only limited resources we have become very aware in recent years of how much potential there is to be more effective with greater resources because this membership program is part of a governance transformation as well as a fundraising campaign the current board does not wish to predetermine future decisions however we expect that the need we currently see for dedicated long term advocacy and organizing e g through permanent staff fellowship positions or something similar will be recognized by the membership and by future boards and that the money raised through membership fees will help make such sustained efforts possible how do i sign up thanks for asking please go to the signup page to join is there a press release
