Membership/Active contributor membership: Difference between revisions

===== How does it work =====
 
The membership fee for associate membership, which normally is tied to the regular membership fee, may be waived if the person applying for membership can demonstrate that they have consistently made sizeable contributions to OpenStreetMap, for example by mapping. (as of [[https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meetings/2019/Suggested_AoA_Changes_revised#Vote_8:_Fee_waiver_for_mappers.2Fcontributors|2019 AGM vote]]) We will automatically grant associate memberships to mappers who request it and who have contributed at least 42 calendar days in the last year (365 days).

). We will automatically grant associate memberships to mappers who request it and who have contributed at least 42 calendar days in the last year (365 days).
 
Not everyone contributes by mapping, and some of the most familiar names in our members list barely map. Some are very involved, for example, in organizing conferences. Those other forms of contribution should be recognised as well. If you do not map at all or less than the 42 days, then we expect you to write a paragraph or two about what you do for OpenStreetMap. The Board will then vote on your application.
