You can also apply to become a voting member of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, which allows voting on larger OBF issues, including changes to the OBF's governing document, the [bylaws](https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/blob/master/OBF%20Bylaws.pdf).

To be considered as a voting member, you must already be actively and demonstrably engaged in open bioinformatics work in some form.

To be considered as a voting member, you must already be actively and demonstrably engaged in biology-related open science or open source in some form.

Examples of such engagement could include contributing to existing open bioinformatics projects, publishing in the field, or attending open source bioinformatics conferences such as BOSC.

The reason for this requirement is that we expect voting members to have a long-term engagement with both the field and the OBF itself.

The OBF requires a quorum for voting, so we want OBF members to remain actively involved.
