Hi Harshana,
Here's a page with links to membership types, membership benefits, and membership process information:
http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/
Note the email for membership stuff is apparently membership at eclipse.org...although I expect that emo at eclipse.org will also work just fine.
IMHO the voting power (for Board membership) is the most important right/responsibility for committer members, as the Board's choices have a large effect on the projects and the future of the whole community (I was a committer Board representative myself 3 years ago, and so I have first hand experience with this).

Hi Scott,
Could you pls explain me about pros and cons other than voting power of becoming a EF member ? (A URL to get the information is enough.)

Hi ECFers,
The Eclipse Foundation recently announced the nominees for the
committer representative on the Board of Directors:
http://www.eclipse.org/org/elections/nominees.php
The voting opens February 8th and I urge everyone to vote for your
Board representatives. The Board sets everything from IP policy
to development process to EF resource allocation...and all these
decisions effect the EF projects deeply on a day-to-day basis.
Particularly if you are an independent committer or contributor I
urge you to make sure that you have access to voting. To be able
to vote you must be an EF member...either through your employer,
or as an independent member. Note that being a member is not the
same as being a committer. If you are not a member and wish to be
one (so you can vote) contact the Eclipse Management Organization
and you can become a member simply by completing a little paperwork.
There is *no cost to you* to becoming an independent member, and
such membership allows you to vote for Board representation and
influence the EF Board in the directions you think are important.
Thanks,
Scott
