| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### Where can I find the latest version of the Devicetree Specification |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +You can always find the latest released, as well as all older releases, |
| 8 | +in our GitHub repository: |
| 9 | + |

| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### How often is a new specification released |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We're planning to make a v1.0 release by end of August, 2016, |
| 15 | +which will be up to date with current core DT bindings used by the Linux kernel. |

| 19 | +## Governance |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Do I need to be a member to comment and send patches for the Spec? |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +No. Changes to the spec are proposed and discussed on a |
| 24 | +[public mailing list](http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#devicetree-spec) |
| 25 | +and the source document is hosted in the |
| 26 | +[Devicetree Specification](https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification) |
| 27 | +project on GitHub. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +You can find details about the mailing list and submission process in the [Readme](README.md) file. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### What will membership give me? |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Membership gives you a seat on Technical Steering Committee (TSC). |
| 34 | +The TSC is responsible for handling governance issues, |
| 35 | +managing the technical goals, release schedule, |
| 36 | +and helping to define vision for future versions of the spec. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### How is Linaro and devicetree.org connected? |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Linaro kick started this process and is hosting devicetree.org under its organisation. |
| 41 | +[devicetree.org](http://devicetree.org) membership fees are associated with devicetree.org |
| 42 | +only and not with Linaro membership. |
| 43 | +The membership proceeds go towards the defraying of Linaro’s costs for hosting devicetree.org. |
