We have posted the official documents and meeting minutes, etc .
see: http://wiki.oemr.org/wiki/Main_Page#OEMR_a_501.28c.29.283.29

This is the most important part of those minutes:

The Board is actively seeking nominations for additional board members.  We seek a good mixture of Provider, Users, Developers, Business types, and Vendors.  Please post your nominations on this wiki page:

The Board has approved a model to allow membership in the OEMR as a means of providing some of the ongoing funding needs. These memberships would be tax deductible and are briefly described as follows:

   1. Basic Membership ($100/year) - one vote per member to elect the Board of Directors
   2. Enhanced Membership ($500/year) - includes all privileges of basic Membership plus a Certified copy of Open EMR software, when it’s available
   3. Corporate Membership ($1,000/year) - includes all privileges of Enhanced Membership plus recognition on the oemr.org website and the ability to purchase additional Certified copies of Open EMR software for $500 per copy.

We will add a online registration model as soon as we can, checks should be made out to OEMR and can be mailed to:

Hey Tony

At some point I read that there is going to be some consideration for members who are contributing code.  Am I to understand that there is no such consideration and we have to pay the same for certified copies et al? 

Clarification in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks and regards
