== Why become an OpenEmbedded Member? ==
* Can vote in YP TSC, OE TSC, and OE board elections
* Can vote to approve/deny new OE members
* Can run for positions on YP TSC, OE TSC, and OE Board
* Access to members only mailing list
* Monthly OE Happy hours (generally open to non-members)
* Ability to attend and present at OE dev day (attendance generally open to non-members)
== Steps to become an OpenEmbedded Member==
# E-mail board@openembedded.org with your desire to become a member. New members are voted on by the existing membership. This is mostly a formality, but members do want relevant information about yourself (to make sure you are a real person, have relevant interest in OE, and would be a good member). To that end, providing the following should help your application: 
#* Please describe yourself and your relevant OpenEmbedded experience. (Links to commits in OE git would be nice) (LinkedIn link might be helpful as well) 
#* Please list OE members who can vouch for you (none are required, but having some is always beneficial).
#* Anything else members might wish to know?
# The board will hold an online vote using Helios with existing members to approve/deny your membership (takes ~1 month)
# The board will notify you of the outcome
# You will be invited to join the OE members mailing list and added to the membership list on the OE wiki
