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.

Price

Our membership period runs from one general assembly to the next => July 1st until June 30th.

  • Reduced membership: 100 kr / år
