Frequently asked questions
Each Sponsor has the option to hold a voting seat on the PGB, provided they have signed an E-CLA for that project. You can take care of the E-CLA after sending in your Membership Agreement–just be sure to do it before participating in any PGB meetings. We need to be sure any contributions you make–even verbal ones–are covered by the Project’s open source license.
Each Open Project’s members decide how frequently they want to meet and how they want to work. Most PGBs hold one-hour meetings once or twice a month and collaborate via email, GitHub, wikis, and other online tools. In addition to being on the PGB, most Sponsors have several employees contributing technically to the project.
We don’t think anyone should be shut out of open source and standards development based on their inability to travel. If your Open Project decides to hold a F2F (some never do), you’ll always have the option to dial in remotely. When Open Projects do meet F2F, they often try to do it in conjunction with an industry conference, so it’s easier for more people to attend.
Everyone is welcome to get involved technically. There are no dues required, although you do need to sign a CLA. If the Open Project is relevant for your company, we hope you’ll encourage them to become a Sponsor. Open Projects rely on two things–great technical contributions from people in the community and funding from stakeholder organizations.
Usually within 48 hours of receiving your signed Membership Agreement, OASIS will activate your sponsorship. We’ll get you onboarded and engaged right away.
Credit card, check, or wire transfer are all good. After we receive your Membership Agreement, we’ll email you an invoice with full details on payment options. If you need us to include a purchase order or reference number on your invoice, let us know on your Membership Agreement. Need more?
