Developers Meeting twice per year;</li>
<li>travel expenses for contributors
willing to attend the Buildroot Developers
Meeting, and not covered by their employer to do
so;</li>

to pay its yearly membership. For an individual, the minimum
membership fee per year is 10 EUR. For a company, the

any membership fee paid in 2019 is valid through December 31,

<p>Once the membership fee is received, it will be listed in
the
association <a href="https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot-association/tree/master/accounting">accounting</a>
files, which serve as the official list of
members. Therefore, members accept that their name and the
amount of their membership fee is made public.</p>
<p>There are two possibilities to pay the membership
