Hi Richard, You are very welcome to join as an Individual member via http://members.openehr.org. The cost per annum is only 10 euros.
We have been very clear that we want all of the openEHR resources to continue to remain free to use to any individual or organisation who were interested. The key benefit of being a formal member is that you are entitled to vote for 2 representatives on the Management Board but I would ask people to consider joining anyway. The membership fee gives a small amount of resource to enable Foundation activities but much more importantly signals one's support for a venture that has, and will continue to make, an enormous amount of intellectual property freely available. Look forward to meeting you in Brazil.
