## Getting the Specification
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+
10+
[Devicetree Specification release repository](https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification-released)
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.
16+
17+
A second major release is planned for December 2016 to cover new features.
18+
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.
