Association
+
+ +

The Buildroot open-source project is supported by a + non-profit organization called the Buildroot + Association. The goal of this non-profit + organization is to engage actions to promote, help + develop and democratise the Buildroot project.

+ +

This non-profit organization is registered as a legal + entity in France, more precisely as an association loi + 1901.

+ +

This organization can receive funding from members, + donors and sponsors. This funding is then used to pay for:

+ +
    +
  • the meeting rooms used during the Buildroot + Developers Meeting twice per year;
    • +
  • travel expenses for contributors + willing to attend the Buildroot Developers + Meeting, and not covered by their employer to do + so;
    • +
  • renting servers and services used to host the + Buildroot infrastructure.
    • +
+ +

The bylaws of the association are available + in French + (official) and + in English + (unofficial translation). The association was declared on + March 14, 2016 to the Préfecture de Haute-Garonne + (France) and is registered under the n°W313024278. See this + official receipt + from the French authorities.

+ +

Our accounting is fully public, including the bank + account summaries, + see accounting. Numerous + other administrative documents related to the association + are available on + its Github + repository

Becoming a member
+
+ +

To become a member, an individual or a company simply has + to pay its yearly membership. For an individual, the minimum + membership fee per year is 10 EUR.

+ +

The membership is valid for the current civil year, i.e + any membership fee paid in 2019 is valid through December 31, + 2019.

+ +

Once the membership fee is received, it will be listed in + the + association accounting + files, which serve as the official list of + members. Therefore, members accept that their name and the + amount of their membership fee is made public.

+ +

There are two possibilities to pay the membership + fee:
