| <h2>How to Become a Member</h2> |
| <p>To become a member, follow these steps below:</p> |
| </div> |
| <p>Once you have chosen the <a class="alt-tab-toggle" href="#tab-levels">level of membership</a> (e.g., Strategic, Contributing, Associate):</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Complete the <a href="https://membership.eclipse.org/application#sign-in">Membership Application Form</a>.</li> |
| <li>Once you have completed the Membership Application Form, the membership team will send you the agreements to sign electronically via HelloSign.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>If you are unable to complete this form online, you can use the <a href="#" class="membership-info-popover">PDF form and agreements</a>.</p> |
| <p>Note: Membership in an Eclipse Working Group requires the execution of the respective Working Group’s Participation Agreement. For more information, review the list of the current <a href="/org/workinggroups/explore.php">Eclipse Working Groups</a> and their respective Participation Agreement.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you are a Committer who is not already a Member by virtue of your employer being a Member, you may join as an individual <a href="/membership/become_a_member/committer.php">Committer Member</a>.</p> |
| <p>Review our <a href="/org/documents/">governance documents</a> for the Eclipse Foundation Bylaws, Membership Agreement, Affliates, Membership Guidelines, |
| IP Policy and more.</p> |

| <h2>Eclipse Foundation AISBL</h2> |
| <p>In January 2021, the Eclipse Foundation created a new Belgian-based organization, Eclipse Foundation AISBL. All new members are strongly encouraged to join this Eclipse Foundation AISBL organization and do so using the above application and agreements.</p> |
| <p>Prior to January 2021, Eclipse Foundation membership was based on Eclipse Foundation, Inc., a Delaware-based organization, and this organization still exists. The membership benefits for both organizations are identical, and members are expected to join only one. Any new member of Eclipse Foundation who believes they have reason to join the Delaware-based organization may contact <a href="mailto:membership@eclipse.org">membership@eclipse.org</a> for the appropriate versions of the Membership Agreement and Membership Application.</p> |
