The Open Compute Project (OCP) Community consists of hundreds of diverse organizations and thousands of individuals from various industry backgrounds and specialties. As our Community grows, we are committed to evolving and optimizing how we work together to best serve our Members. One aspect we've closely considered, based on Community feedback is our membership structure. While our existing membership model incentivizes contributions through an inverse pricing strategy, it's challenging to maintain as our membership expands. To address this, we are transitioning to a more streamlined model.
The OCP Foundation is also excited to highlight the introduction of a new tier of membership available to startups. More information on the startup membership tier can be found here.

Notable Changes
The OCP Solution Provider & Colo Solution Provider Program is now included with Silver, Gold or Platinum membership. For Gold and Platinum members, the OCP Foundation is introducing a media and analyst program, designed to provide direct access to industry analysts and media members prior to the OCP Global and Regional Summits. Platinum members will also be eligible to participate in a new biannual leadership plenary, giving them unprecedented access to the OCP Board of Directors.
Any sponsorship contracts signed between now and the new model taking effect will reflect the current summit sponsorship discounts. Contracts signed after January 1st, 2024 will reflect the discounts of the new membership model.
