Become a Codeberg e.V. member

Strength comes in numbers. By becoming a member, you are helping Codeberg e.V. further its mission and reinforce its independence as a non-profit. Not only because memberships make up our primary source of income (together with donations), but also because you get the right to participate in our association's democratic structures. Your support helps us continue providing infrastructure for free and open-source projects and meet increasing demand.

Choose your membership

Supporting members support Codeberg e.V.'s goals directly, get regular updates on its work, and may attend and participate in the association's events. Active members gain the additional right to vote. This right includes voting on proposals put forward by others, proposed changes to Codeberg's Privacy Policy, deciding on financial plans, as well as electing members of the non-profit's presidium.

Private individuals can choose between an active and a supporting membership. Corporate and legal entities are welcome to support Codeberg e.V. through a supporting membership. If you use Codeberg.org and wish to play an active role in preserving the health and future of the platform and of other ongoing projects, we highly suggest choosing an active membership. We welcome everyone who wishes to support our goals and occassionally monitor our progress to choose a supporting membership or, alternatively, consider making a one-time or a recurring donation.


Volunteering

We are always on the lookout for new volunteers. In this part of the form, we will ask you to select key areas that you could offer us help with. Such help can, for example, include offering us advice for a problem that we are facing. Any entries that you make are not binding. Keep in mind that, due to limited resources, we might not have the capacity to reach out to you by ourselves. We maintain a list of projects on our Contributing repository.
