Organizational Participants
Organizational participants are organizations such as companies, research institutes or universities that commit to
- contribute a minimum of 6 months of a full time employees per project year to the overall project using their own funding,
- contribute to around 5 to 10 web-based coordination meetings annually, and
- attend a semi-annual expert meeting, generally for two days using own funding.
These meetings are used to coordinate current work and to steer future development. As far as possible, these coordination meetings will be collocated with an international or a national IBPSA conference.
The operating agents can reassess the organizational membership annually and terminate organizational memberships after such annual period, if the contributions of an organization does not meet the above requirements.
Sponsoring Participant
Sponsoring participants are individuals or organizations that fund the project with cash contributions at US-$ 5,000 per year, which we intent to use to offset various costs that otherwise would need to be paid by the participants.
This membership will be valid for one year, and can be renewed for multiple periods.
Individual Participants
Individual participants are contributors that participate in the project as is custom in other open-source projects without a pre-determined level of commitment.
The operating agents can reassess the individual participant membership annually and terminate membership if no substantial contributions are made.
