[OSGeo-Discuss] Using an OSGeo membership to work at the OGC

[Raj Singh]

I don't know what the guidelines are from the OSGeo side, but from the OGC side (as Jody mentioned) the primary guideline is that you can't be an employee of an organization that could get OGC membership the usual way. These OSGeo memberships are intended to accommodate the ad hoc nature of open source project teams and individuals, and give them a "seat at the table".

Specifically, if I were to use one of them would I need to 'represent' the OSGeo membership in some way (which I would find hard since I have always been on the margins of OSGeo) or could I continue to represent the 'free software community' as I feel I already do quite a bit at the OGC? Are there any other responsiblities that using one of those memberships would bring, such as reporting back to OSGeo in some way?
