The Sugar Labs [[Sugar Labs/Members]] consists of all the contributors to the Sugar project. Members can run for election to the [[Oversight Board|Oversight Board]], vote in the elections for the Oversight Board, and suggest [[Sugar Labs/Governance#Sugar Labs Referenda|referenda]].

Any "significant and sustained" contributor to Sugar Labs is eligible for membership. Although it is difficult to specify a precise definition, a [[Sugar_Labs/Sugar_contributors|contributor]] generally must have contributed to a non-trivial improvement of the Sugar project or Sugar Labs activity. Contributions may be code, documentation, translations, maintenance of project-wide resources, ''running a Sugar deployment'', or other non-trivial activities which benefit Sugar Labs. Membership eligibility is an individual determination: while contributions made in the course of employment will be considered, they will generally be ascribed to the individuals involved, rather than accruing to all employees of a "contributing" corporation. The Membership and Elections Committee ('''MEC''') will oversee membership applications (Please apply by sending email to ''members at sugarlabs.org'').
