New Contributors and new Members are always welcome! Although membership is not required, most Contributors are members of the OpenHW Foundation and participate in one or more of our Projects.
Contributors must be covered by the terms of the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (for individuals) or the Eclipse Member Committer and Contributor Agreement (for employees of Member companies). The ECA/MCCA provides a legal framework for a Contributor's technical contributions to the OpenHW Foundation, including provisions for grant of copyright license and a Developer Certificate of Origin on contributions merged into OpenHW Foundation repositories.
