The Document Foundation is open for members

With the last months the community around LibreOffice and The Document Foundation worked hard to establish policies, processes, infrastructure and all the things you need to deliver a high quality software. One of our basic principles is that we will acknowledge this merit and allow all the contributors to become official members of our community. All members will have the right to run for a seat in the Foundation’s Board of Directors, elect the board and drive the future of our projects.

From now on all of you can apply for membership via our webform. The Membership Committee is eager to receive your applications.

Please help us to process your request quickly. Read and follow the form’s introduction carefully, provide a good description of your contributions and list at least two contacts who can confirm your contributions.

The TDF Membership Committee,
Sophie Gautier, Fridrich Strba, André Schnabel, Cor Nouws

What we strive for

The Document Foundation and LibreOffice represent already a future path of development for the OOo community and the OOo code base, as it was originally announced on September 28, 2010.

The Document Foundation:

  • Is an independent self-governing meritocratic Foundation, created by leading members of the OpenOffice.org Community.
  • Continues to build on the foundation of ten years’ dedicated work by the OpenOffice.org Community.
  • Was created in the belief that the culture born out of an independent Foundation brings the best in contributors and will deliver the best software for the marketplace.

The development of TDF community and LibreOffice is going forward as planned, and we are always willing to include new members and partners.

We will provide as many information as we can with the progress of the situation. We are currently making every possible effort to offer a smooth transition to the project.

Charles-H. Schulz,
On behalf of the Steering Committee
of the Document Foundation.
