We will send you a welcome letter to the address you specify here, and use it for all communication. Your membership becomes active only if we are able to contact you successfully. Note that unfortunately we cannot currently support live.com email addresses, due to blacklisting by Outlook.com beyond our control.
Optional information
Email addresses sometimes change. Having alternate ways of corroborating your identity on the internet helps us to track down a new contact address if the primary one we have from you bounces.
Alternate email address
GitHub username
Social media handle or account (e.g. Mastodon, LinkedIn)
ORCID
If you're unfamiliar with ORCIDs, you might want to create one for yourself, see http://orcid.org.
Membership eligibility
Anyone who is interested in furthering the objectives of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation is eligible for membership. We consider attendance at a past or the current Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) as sufficient evidence of eligibility. If you have not attended BOSC, please provide alternative evidence of your eligibility.
Please state why you meet the eligibility criteria for OBF membership. *
Evidence of eligibility could be involvement with open-source projects in bioinformatics or other fields, open-source or open science activism or contributions, open-source community building work, attendance at past or future BOSCs, etc. You can provide links to external resources if those show your involvement.
