What is LFESS?

In order to make sure our specifications are free and open, we require that all contributers agree to membership terms of our Joint Development Foundation (JDF) project, called “LF Energy Standards and Specifications” (LFESS).

Why do I need to join to contribute edits to specifications?

The LFESS membership agreement requires that contributors must make all contributions in an open manner, so that our specifications are free, accessible, and usable by everyone.
