Become a member

[data.coop]({{< ref "/" >}}) is a cooperative established as a democratic association. The members decide on the association's operations and how data should be governed. Governance resembles any classic association: We have legal statutes and formal general assemblies.

You need to read our [statutes]({{< relref "/rights.md" >}}) and our Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) before becoming a member. If you have questions, you can find us on [Matrix or IRC]({{< ref "/about.md" >}}) or send an email to the board.

English speakers: We would love to have you as a member. Many parts of this organization are already in English, but our legal documents are not (yet). Please write us if you have any questions.

You become a member by paying the annual membership fee to our account and sending an email to our treasurer benjaoming@data.coop, containing your name.

Currently, the only option is to wire a bank payment to our Danish bank account:

  • Reg. 8401 (Merkur)
  • Kontonr. 1016866
  • Text: First name + last name

Annual membership: DKK 300 (or more)
Reduced annual membership (students/unemployed): DKK 50

The membership period counts from association year that you sign up in. That means that a membership is valid from when it's paid and until and including the next general assembly.
