How support flows

  1. Members sustain shared project needs

    Membership supports shared infrastructure and project operations.

  2. The Advisory Board coordinates stewardship

    It coordinates non-technical project stewardship.

  3. Maintainers govern technical decisions

    Responsibility is earned through open contribution.

Why organizations join

Support the work that keeps an open project healthy.

Organizational membership supports the shared responsibilities around Xen.

Sustain shared infrastructure

Support project operations, hosting, test environments, and shared resources.

Coordinate across organizations

Give organizational stakeholders a forum for funding, events, communications, and ecosystem coordination.

Support project stewardship

Help steward budgets, trademarks, and project-wide programs.

Strengthen an open ecosystem

Maintain a neutral home for infrastructure, embedded, automotive, and security-sensitive work.

Clear responsibilities

Membership and technical contribution are distinct.

The Advisory Board manages non-technical matters including shared infrastructure funding, events, communications, and the Xen Project trademark. Technical decisions remain with maintainers through the open project meritocracy.

Two participation paths

Organizational support

Stewardship, funding, and coordination.

Technical contribution
