About us
OpenDocument Fellowship is a volunteer organisation with members around the world. Our goal is to promote the use and development of the OpenDocument format. We believe that open standards can create a level playing field where all software products can compete fairly.
Our mission
To support the work of community volunteers in promoting, improving and providing user assistance for the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) and software designed to operate on data in this format.
Contributing
You can contribute in many ways. You do not need to be a member to contribute as a developer or in other ways. You do not even need to be very technical. Please see the Contributing page for more information.

Voting membership
We have a type of voting membership. The benefit of membership is that you can vote on major decisions. To be a member you have to be nominated by a current member and approved by the current members. If you're an active contributor and we haven't offered you membership, don't be too shy to ask.
