Members&& Larong Pinoy News

In January 2021, the Eclipse Foundation created a new Belgian-based organization, Eclipse Foundation AISBL. All new members are strongly encouraged to join this Eclipse Foundation AISBL organization and do so using the above application and agreements.

Prior to January 2021, Eclipse Foundation membership was based on Eclipse Foundation, Inc., a Delaware-based organization, and this organization still exists. The membership benefits for both organizations are identical, and members are expected to join only one. Any new member of Eclipse Foundation who believes they have reason to join the Delaware-based organization may contact membership@eclipse.org for the appropriate versions of the Membership Agreement and Membership Application.
