| <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> |
