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'').
Membership applications are overseen by the [[Sugar_Labs/Governance/Committees#Membership_and_Elections_Committee|Membership and Elections Committee]].
 
The MEC will review the membership list for currency once per year.
