The ILIAS Society
ILIAS is open source software and as such can be downloaded, used indefinitely and adapted by anyone - all free from license fees. The ILIAS Society (ILIAS open source e-Learning e.V.) was founded to ensure the reliable and sustainable further development of the software.
The society coordinates the complete development of the software and the testing process and also sets the rules by which new features are implemented and bugs corrected. The various bodies of the society additionally deal with the long-term development strategy and the online help. Society funds are used to finance especially important features and technical innovations.
With your membership in the ILIAS Society you are supporting the sustainable development of ILIAS. You get a vote in the general meeting of members and can therefore actively help shape the future direction the software takes. Institutional members additionally get the opportunity to prioritise bugs so that these are dealt with more swiftly. Some of our Premium Partners also offer society members special conditions.
