  <h1><?php print $pageTitle;?></h1>
  <p>There are five types of membership to the Eclipse Foundation, four for organizations, and one for individuals.</p>

   <ul class="circles-list margin-top-25 padding-top-10">

    <li><a href="#strategic">Strategic Members</a> are organizations that view Eclipse as a strategic
    platform and are investing developer and other resources to further develop the Eclipse technology.
    </li>

    <li><a href="#enterprise">Enterprise Members</a> are organizations that rely heavily on
    Eclipse technology as a platform for their internal development projects and/or act strategically
    building products and services built on, or with, Eclipse. These organizations want to influence and
    participate in the development of the Eclipse ecosystem.</li>

    <li><a href="#solutions">Solutions Members</a> are organizations that view Eclipse as an important
    part of their corporate and product strategy and offer products and services based on, or with,
    Eclipse. These organizations want to participate in the development of the Eclipse ecosystem.
    </li>

    <li><a href="#associate">Associate Members</a> are organizations that participate in,
    and want to show support for, the Eclipse ecosystem.</li>

    <li><a href="#committer">Committer Members</a> are individuals that are the core developers
    of the Eclipse projects and can commit changes to project source code.
    </li>

  </ul>

  <h2 id="strategic">Strategic Members</h2>
  <p>There are two types of strategic members: Strategic <em>Developers</em> and Strategic <em>Consumers</em>.
  Strategic <em>Developers</em> are major contributors of technology to Eclipse. Each strategic developer
  will lead an Eclipse Foundation open source project and have at least eight developers assigned full time to developing Eclipse technology and
  contribute annual dues of 0.12% of revenue (minimum $25K, maximum $250K).
  Strategic <em>Consumers</em> are major users of Eclipse technology. They contribute annual dues of
  0.2% of revenues (minimum $50K, maximum $500K) but can reduce the dues by contributing one
  or two developers to Eclipse projects, reducing their dues by $125K for each developer,
  to the minimum of $50K.</p>

  <p>Each strategic member has a representative on the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors
  allowing them direct influence over the strategic direction of Eclipse.</p>

  <p>Strategic Developer members have representation on the Eclipse Planning and
  Architecture Councils. This allows Strategic Developers to have direct input into the
  development processes and architecture of the Eclipse Foundation project community.</p>

  <p>See the current <a href="/membership/exploreMembership.php#tab-strategic">Strategic Members.</a></p>

  <p>As noted in the <a href="/projects/dev_process/development_process.php">Eclipse Development Process</a>,
