This means helping them start, keep moving, share their stories, obtain resources, and contribute back to BIFFUD. 4 | 5 | ### Example Chaos Wrangler visions: 6 | 7 | 1. Method for keeping track of what projects need. 8 | 2. Establishing systems for projects to obtain additional resources needed for their operation. 9 | 3. System / practices to help recruit interested people into those projects with needs. 10 | 4. Setting up templates for projects to share reports back to BIFFUD during plotting sessions. 11 | 5. Streamlining the project application and evaluation processes. 12 | 6. Helping to establish baseline / template contract language for project ownership agreements. 13 | 7. Creating a process for tracking project statuses. 14 | 8. Designing project on boarding processes (e.g. brand packets, documentation, access to resources, etc). 15 | 9. Organizing our AWS so that projects can get access to AWS resources. 16 | 17 | ... and thinking of more things for this list 18 | 19 | ### Example Chaos Wrangler tasks: 20 | 21 | * Keeping in touch with projects and making project owners feel appropriately loved and cared about. 22 | * Keeping morale up across projects! 23 | * Running the "new project applications" section of the plotting sessions 24 | * Making sure that project owners know what it means to be a BIFFUD project -- including things like BIFFUD branding, perks, money processes, etc. 25 | * To be a confidential ear for people with issues on a project. 26 | 27 | ### Office Holders 28 | 29 | * Mark Boas (from 2018-05-20 to 2019-05-19) 30 | * Mark Boas (from 2017-08-31 to 2018-05-20) 31 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /applications/projects/unfunded_project.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # BIFFUD Project Application 2 | As described in section 11.11.B of the BIFFUD Corporate Bylaws I (we) hereby invoke my (our) rights as a (a) sentient being(s) who has (have) not uploaded their mind(s) to the cloud for consideration of this project application by the BIFFUD Hive Mind.

Also, everybody will be given a read-only account so they can make sure we aren't embezzling all the funds. 21 | 2) $7k project I'd love to be approved! (just me doing work, normally I wouldn't run this through BIFFUD but it would be a good strategic relationship) 22 | 3) Brand Updates 23 | 4) I would like us to consider adding some "teeth" to our projects we approve, now that we have money coming in, and suggest that going forward we only approve projects that we are willing to allocate $300 towards supporting. This might help us prevent having a bunch of dead projects! 24 | 5) There are a slew of bylaws changes I'm going to be proposing for the *next* plotting session. Just wanted to give a heads up about them. Most are real, so we need to be sure to balance them with a bunch of bullshit too. 25 | 6) Budget approval for the accounting software ($25 / month for the rest of the year.) 26 | 7) Budget Debate: EmojiOne 4.0 for $150 (they won't give us any more off, though I will still ask!) 27 | 28 | Related to #7, turns out we allocated $500 to the Emoji Compass (wtf were we smoking holy shit that is so much money) not $300 29 | in theory Matt could consider using the $200 he found in the couch for the emoji licenses, but I think he was going to try to get a sense from the room 30 | cc @knowtheory 31 | I will make the formal project request 32 | the budget request is already there -- and the emojione budget is already allocated technically, so more just a discussion on if that's actually a thing (edited) 33 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /records/agendas/2017_12_17_agenda.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # December 17, 2017 Plotting Session 2 | 3 | This meeting will take place [using Zoom](https://zoom.us/j/615256609) 4 | 5 | ## Proposed Agenda 6 | 7 | - Moment of Confusion ([quorum check](https://doodle.com/poll/g8zv5xp2faycetzs)) 8 | 9 | - Approval of [October](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/blob/minutes-preliminary/records/minutes/20171021_plotting_session.md) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/5qfp9qxumh3maseu)) and [November](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/blob/minutes-preliminary/records/minutes/2017-11-18.md) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/puh98c6kcrzm6kth)) minutes 10 | 11 | - Officer Reports 12 | + Loot Summary (Treasure Goblin) 13 | + Newborn Status (The Popular One) 14 | + Bestiary Process Updates (Beastmaster) 15 | + Nerd Report (Secretary of Code) 16 | + Culture Infusion (Keeper of Lore) 17 | + State of BIFFUD (Overmind) 18 | + Opposition's Response (Undermind) 19 | 20 | - New Overlord Applications 21 | + 20 is enough TBH 22 | 23 | - New Project Applications 24 | + [Truth Goggles](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/issues/54) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/t97w25g7a8k7wwxe)) 25 | + [Signature Effects](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/issues/55) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/962u6r8gp9grf3e2)) 26 | 27 | - Revotes from November 28 | + [Emoji Compass](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/issues/45) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/kcniwr85hfwdubds)) 29 | + [ScriptChat](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate/issues/46) ([vote](https://doodle.com/poll/f2g9tmb5crccarhw)) 30 | 31 | - Budget Requests 32 | + Should we subscribe to Zoom?

Gotta use it w/in a year (before the project goes into hibernation). Give project leads incentives to get a project done. 52 | 53 | Anthony & Ted ask about outlays for future projects and if that'll effect project approval. Anthony mentions that some funds may not have 300$ 54 | 55 | Ted would like a handbook or list of acceptable expenses. 56 | 57 | Slifty mentions that we're currently approving projects. We'd just like to make it approved. 58 | 59 | Now that the canoe is approved, Dan is changing his recommendation to approving the canoe. 60 | 61 | He's likening it to Brexit. 62 | 63 | Erek is likening Slifty to Theresa May 64 | 65 | ------------- 66 | 67 | Pio & Joanna have been great and delivered a tremendous amount of value. 68 | 69 | Dan's proud of it. 70 | 71 | There's a blog, people can write for it!

No, we're doing accrual accounting. Most of the money is spoken for, and most likely all of these projects are not going to close this year. So our taxes are going to look substantially similar to last year. 88 | 89 | We're in pretty good shape. 90 | 91 | ## Insurance? 92 | 93 | BBC requires us to have insurance. Dan spent a bunch of time looking into it for insurance in the US. We're currently waiting for an underwriter to get back to us. 94 | 95 | Dan is still waiting (and has been waiting since the beginning of Nov?). 96 | 97 | Ben asks if laurian gets sued and the costs overtop insurance, are we as officers liable? 98 | 99 | Dan wants to know if Ben would be willing to work with Dan to figure out the answers to these questions. 100 | 101 | ## Project Updates 102 | 103 | Lou mentions that we have a color switcher library now, which is cool. 104 | 105 | ## What fresh hell awaits us in 2019 106 | 107 | 108 | 109 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /records/minutes/2018-02-18.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # February 18, 2018 Plotting Session 2 | 3 | # Corporate Overlords: 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | ### Online: 8 | - Mike Tigas 9 | - Kavya Sukumar 10 | - Anthony Buchanan 11 | - Paul Schultz 12 | - Carolyn Rupar 13 | - Ted Han 14 | - Lou Huang 15 | - Dan Schultz 16 | - Kate Darling 17 | - Christopher Anderson 18 | - Chris Zubak-Skees 19 | - Erek Alper 20 | - Baron Oldenburg 21 | 22 | ### Absent for Plotting Session but Voted: 23 | N/A since there weren't any votes 24 | 25 | ### Absent: 26 | - Ian Anderson 27 | - Jason Miller 28 | - Julia Smith 29 | - Matt Stempeck 30 | 31 | ### Unknown: 32 | - Allison McCartney 33 | - Ben Luxenberg 34 | 35 | ### Quorum Present? 36 | 👍 Aye 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | --- 41 | 42 | # Proceedings: 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | ### 🕰️ Meeting Start: 47 | 18:06 UTC/GMT 48 | ### 🕰️ Meeting End: 49 | 18:50 50 | ### ⏲️ Meeting Length: 51 | 44 minutes 52 | 53 | 54 | ## Announcements: 55 | 56 | ### Second Plotting Session of 2018! 57 | 58 | ## Agenda 59 | 60 | - Moment of Confusion 61 | - Officer Reports 62 | - Short meeting 63 | 64 | ### Moment of Confusion: 65 | Ended @ 10:07 66 | 67 | ## Officer Reports: 68 | 69 | #### Social Status by the Popular One (Kate Darling): 70 | - Baby is being an asshole and not eating 71 | - Tweeting is needed 72 | - 6 new followers 73 | 74 | #### Project Updates by the Beast Master (Mark Boas): 75 | 76 | #### Nerd Report by the Secretary of Code (Anthony Buchanan): 77 | - Made himself useful 78 | - Filled out the contributing.md 79 | - Need more useful info?

Contractor further warrants and represents that to its knowledge, after reasonable investigation, the Services do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. Except for the warranty expressly set forth in this Section, Company acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on no other representations or warranties and that no other representations or warranties have formed the basis of its acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. 15 | 4. **__Limitation of Liability.__** 16 | IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA, REVENUE OR PROFITS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING PRODUCTS LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE), AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY WAS OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OR ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT SHALL CONTRACTOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE NET AMOUNT CONTRACTOR HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED FROM COMPANY UNDER THE SERVICE SPECS APPLICABLE TO SUCH CLAIM. 17 | 5. **__Termination; Suspension of Services.__** 18 | If either party breaches a material provision of this Agreement, the other party may terminate this Agreement upon fourteen (14) days’ notice, unless the breach is cured within the notice period.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason Company shall immediately pay Contractor for all services provided by Contractor up to the effective date of termination. Sections 2 through 10 of this Agreement and any remedies for breach of this Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration. 19 | 6. **__Relationship of the Parties; Independent Contractor; No Employee Benefits.__** 20 | Contractor is an independent contractor (not an employee or other agent) solely responsible for the manner and hours in which the Services are performed, is solely responsible for all taxes, withholdings and other statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations of any sort (including, but not limited to, those relating to workers’ compensation, disability insurance, Social Security, unemployment compensation coverage, the Fair Labor Standards Act, income taxes, etc.), and is not entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans, fringe benefit programs, group insurance arrangements or similar programs of Company. 21 | 7. **__Notice__**. 22 | All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when personally delivered, sent electronically, or three days after being sent by prepaid certified or registered U.S. mail to the address of the party to be noticed as set forth herein or to such other address as such party last provided to the other by written notice. 23 | 8. **__Force Majeure__**. 24 | Neither party will incur any liability to the other party on account of any loss or damage resulting from any delay or failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement if such delay or failure is caused, in whole or in part, by events, occurrences, or causes beyond the reasonable control and without negligence of the parties. Such events, occurrences, or causes will include, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, failures of the Internet, earthquakes, fire and explosions, but the inability to meet financial obligations is expressly excluded. 25 | 9. **__Arbitration__**. 26 | Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided however, that each party will have a right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of law. The prevailing party will be entitled to receive from the nonprevailing party all costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with that action or proceeding, whether or not the controversy is reduced to judgment or award.

The parties hereby consent to the arbitration in the State of Pennsylvania in the county of Montgomery. 27 | 10. **__Miscellaneous__**. 28 | The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. No changes or modifications or waivers to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

See [README.md](README.md) 5 | for a sense of the purpose of this repository. 6 | 7 | You should also look at the [Corporate Bylaws](documents/operating.md) 8 | which lays out some of the processes around the repository. 9 | 10 | ## Baseline Concepts 11 | ### Submitting and Reviewing Documentation 12 | 13 | This repository has a home on 14 | [GitHub](https://github.com/BadIdeaFactory/corporate). Please submit 15 | [pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) 16 | (PRs) there. 17 | 18 | Please submit changes via pull request, even if you have direct commit 19 | access to the repository. The PR process allows us to get additional 20 | eyes on change proposals and gives us all a chance for corporate 21 | amusement. 22 | 23 | Generally, the more controversial, complex or large a change, the more 24 | opportunity people should have to comment on it. That means it should 25 | garner more comments/approvals or it means it should sit longer before 26 | being merged. 27 | 28 | Note: Some types of PR require a vote by the corporate overlords. for instance 29 | approval of minutes or project applications. Others can be merged by the 30 | Secretary of Code, Overmind, or Undermind. 31 | 32 | ### Issues 33 | 34 | Issues are used for keeping track of corporate tasks as well as for tracking 35 | various types of application. 36 | 37 | Applications covered by issues: 38 | 39 | - Project applications 40 | - Corporate Overlord applications 41 | - Requested budget changes 42 | - Expense requests 43 | 44 | More detail for each of these tasks is provided later in this document. 45 | 46 | ### Wiki 47 | 48 | The wiki is the shared knowledge base of BIFFUD. It provides a public index 49 | of projects and BIFFUD overlords as well as information about how to go about 50 | using the various tools that we use as an organization. 51 | 52 | The repository represents reality and canonical truth. The wiki should be 53 | seen as a helpful, lucid dream. 54 | 55 | ### Branching and Branch Names 56 | We will have a few "perma" branches that will always exist and 57 | are maintained by the appropriate elected role: 58 | 59 | - order: this branch is for serious business such as contracts and legal 60 | documentation. It is managed by the Overmind and Undermind. 61 | - code: this branch is for repo infrastructure and changes to code related documentation. It is managed by the Secretary of Code. 62 | - treasure: this branch is for tracking budgets and expenses. It is managed 63 | by the Treasure Goblin. 64 | - lore: this branch is for tracking documentation and minutes. It is managed 65 | by the Keeper of Lore. 66 | - projects: this branch is for keeping track of projects and relevant 67 | documents or agreements. It is managed by the Chaos Wrangler. 68 | - popularity: this branch is for keeping track of communications and marketing 69 | materials such as emoji, logos, and catch phrases. It is managed by The 70 | Popular One. 71 | - chaos: this branch is for chaos. It will hopefully never be merged. It is 72 | managed by all of the corporate overlords. 73 | 74 | There shouldn't be any other branches than these. If something doesn't fit 75 | into any of these branches, open an issue. 76 | 77 | ### Rebases and force-pushes 78 | 79 | REBASES AND FORCE PUSHES ON ANY BRANCH ARE FOR THE WEAK. LIVE WITH YOUR 80 | MISTAKES FOR THE WORLD TO SEE INDEFINITELY. 81 | 82 | ### Commit Messages 83 | 84 | Please adhere 85 | to [these guidelines](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) for 86 | each commit message. The "Seven Rules" described in that post are: 87 | 88 | 1. Separate subject from body with a blank line 89 | 2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters 90 | 3. Capitalize the subject line 91 | 4. Do not end the subject line with a period 92 | 5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line 93 | 6. Wrap the body at 72 characters 94 | 7. Use the body to explain _what_ and _why_ vs. _how_ 95 | 96 | Think of the commit message as an introduction to the change. A 97 | reviewer will read the commit message right before reading the diff 98 | itself, so the commit message's purpose is to put the reader in the 99 | right frame of mind to understand the code change. 100 | 101 | The reason for the short initial summary line is to support commands, 102 | such as `git show-branch`, that list changes by showing just the first 103 | line of each one's commit message. 104 | 105 | ### Indentation and Whitespace 106 | 107 | Please use spaces, never tabs. The file [.editorconfig](.editorconfig) 108 | encodes these formatting conventions in a way that most text editors 109 | can read. 110 | 111 | ### Licensing Your Contribution 112 | The corporate is published under the [Apache License, Version 2.0](http://www.apache.org/licenses/). 113 | It is important that the codebase continue to be publishable under that 114 | license. To make that possible, here are some guidelines on including 3rd 115 | party content. 116 | 117 | If you submit content that you wrote or that you have authority to submit 118 | from your employer or institution, you give it to us under the Apache License, 119 | Version 2.0. If the material you submit is already licensed under a similarly 120 | permissive license (BSD, ISC), you can tell us that and give it to us under 121 | that license instead. 122 | 123 | Please make the license of the contribution clear in your pull request. Tell 124 | us who wrote it, if that isn't just you. If the code was written for 125 | an employer, tell us that too. Tell us what license applies to the 126 | code, especially if it differs from the project's Apache License, Version 2.0. 127 | 128 | ### Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 129 | 130 | By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: 131 | 132 | (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or 133 | 134 | (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to 135 | submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as Indicated in the file; or 136 | 137 | (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. 138 | 139 | (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. 140 | 141 | ### Elections 142 | People running for a position should commit an application (found at [applications/elections/general_candidate.md](applications/elections/general_candidate.md)) to the `records/elections/candidates/[date]/[lastname]_[firstname].md` 143 | 144 | As described in operating.md, the Issue must be opened 24 hours before the election is held. 145 | 146 | ## How do I (general) ... 147 | ### Apply to add a project to BIFFUD? 148 | 1.

We build things and incorporate humor 57 | into the process as best we can. Many of the projects we pursue are 58 | explicitly bad ideas, but the point is that we implement them expertly. 59 | 60 | **What is the business model?** 61 | 62 | Fun, not money, is the goal here. Some of the projects we make may end 63 | up having an opportunity to earn some cash, but that's likely to be up 64 | to their creators and is by no means an expectation or requirement. 65 | 66 | **But wait, is this real?** 67 | 68 | Yep! We are a registered LLC in Pennsylvania. 69 | 70 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 71 | SECTION 1: Partnership 72 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 73 | 74 | **What does it mean to be a partner at BIFFUD** 75 | 76 | Bad Idea Factory is a Limited Liability Corporation, which means that 77 | partnership can't just be about the spirit or the lulz -- partners 78 | have legal responsibilities, ownership, and control over the company 79 | direction. 80 | 81 | Partners will be expected to: 82 | 83 | 1. Make a capital contribution upon joining. 84 | 2. Participate and vote in monthly partner meetings. 85 | 3. Participate and vote on corporate Github. 86 | 4. Contribute some poetry on corporate Github. 87 | 5. Stay involved and aware of the projects being undertaken by members. 88 | 6. Help maintain and further the BIFFUD public footprint. 89 | 7. Try to attend any BIFFUD events. 90 | 91 | OTHER IDEAS: -- partners could be asked to make a regular capital contribution. 92 | 93 | In return, partners should expect: 94 | 95 | 1. To be part of something potentially awesome and fun 96 | 2. To have their votes and company choices codified forever 97 | 3. See almost no return on investment aside from joy 98 | 4. But also if money is earned, they'll probably see some of it 99 | 5. Especially if they helped make the project that is earning $$ 100 | 6. If we find a path to sustainability, they can help decide how 101 | resources are spent 102 | 103 | 104 | **Are there different levels of partnership?** 105 | 106 | Some people are likely to want to be involved as a fan. There is room 107 | for that! But for the health of the company our partners / owners need 108 | to be more tangibly and actively invested. 109 | 110 | Anybody with a passion around an idea that fits our mission (as determined 111 | by the partners) can contribute to BIFFUD projects. 112 | 113 | How's this for a possible breakdown: 114 | 115 | - *Partner:* A legal owner of the LLC, makes a capital contribution and 116 | will see a tax form at the end of the year. 117 | - *Member:* Supports BIFFUD either through code or light activity. 118 | - *Fan:* Follows us on twitter or something. 119 | 120 | 121 | **How do we add new partners / how does a partner leave the organization?** 122 | 123 | JOINING IDEAS: 124 | - Partners vote, majority vote allows someone to become a partner; they 125 | need to make a capital contribution to cover their legal costs as well as 126 | their share of the next two year's overhead costs (accounting, legal) 127 | 128 | LEAVING IDEAS: 129 | - If a partner chooses to leave, they're allowed to just leave; they won't 130 | be entitled to any group profits (lol) made after the point of their departure 131 | but would still be fully entitled to any payments due to them for projects 132 | they helped build. 133 | 134 | 135 | **What is the capital contribution required to join?** 136 | 137 | We need to have enough funding to pay the basic bills for a few years, and 138 | the partners are going to be the source of that money. Proper funding is 139 | important because it allows partners to clearly separate personal finances 140 | from corporate finances. 141 | 142 | Here are expenses we will need to cover: 143 | 144 | 1. Legal fees ($600 for the initial registration) 145 | 2. Taxes (~$500 per year) -- need to confirm with an accountant 146 | 3. Other required expenses (??) -- need to check with the lawyer (legal fees) 147 | 4. Contingency fund ($500) -- seems wise tbh 148 | 149 | Overall it would be good to have ~$3,000 in the bank to safely cover basic 150 | costs. 151 | 152 | The capital contribution for the initial members will be based on answers 153 | to questions about estimated costs, as well as the number of people who 154 | are genuinely interested in being a part of this crazy thing. 155 | 156 | I would suggest partners plan to make a $500 capital contribution. If 157 | that is too rich for anyone's blood (and even if not), let's all talk about 158 | it and make sure everyone's comfortable. 159 | 160 | 161 | **Who owns what % of the company — is it all equal?** 162 | 163 | Option A: Even split per person; one member (I selfishly nominate myself) gets 164 | an extra 1% in order to break ties. 165 | 166 | Option B: Two levels of ownership, "partners" and "members", 90% is owned 167 | by the partners and 10% is owned by the members. Members are involved for the 168 | fun; partners are involved at a more serious level. 169 | 170 | Option C: People write down on a scale of 1 to 10 how involved they plan to be 171 | and they get a weighted ownership based on that number. We should really do this 172 | exercise either way. 173 | 174 | Think of the number as a "number of hours you plan on spending" thinking about 175 | BIFFUD per week. 176 | 177 | Here is a stab at descriptions of what the numbers might mean: 178 | 179 | 1-3: I'll keep track of what people are doing on slack; I'll follow 180 | and RT on twitter; I'll occasionally contribute to a code base or otherwise offer 181 | my expertise. 182 | 4-7: I'll lead and personally code or fund a BIFFUD project or two and participate 183 | in the occasional meeting. 184 | 8-10: I will take a leadership role in the organization; plan to attend monthly 185 | partner meetings, build multiple projects per year, and would seriously consider 186 | telling someone I recently met that I'm part of this thing called Bad Idea Factory. 187 | 188 | 189 | **Is governance weighted the same as ownership** 190 | 191 | It doesn't have to be, I vote yes, but what do you think? 192 | 193 | 194 | **Will I somehow wind up in jail?** 195 | 196 | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 197 | 198 | But seriously probably not, unless you do something illegal like rob a bank 199 | with BIFFUD hats on. 200 | 201 | 202 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 203 | SECTION 2: Projects and Resources 204 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 205 | 206 | **What are the types of project at BIFFUD** 207 | 208 | All projects need to be approved by the owners in order to be considered 209 | a BIFFUD project. People can obviously start working on projects at any 210 | point and in any way, but basically for a project to get a repository on 211 | BIFFUD's Github account, to have a project funded by BIFFUD, or to raise 212 | external funds for a project in BIFFUD's name it has to be approved by 213 | partner vote. 214 | 215 | Some types of project BIFFUD might be involved in: 216 | 217 | A. Grant funded: projects funded by a third party as a grant. Money is 218 | spent to build these, but the budget is handled by the person or people 219 | who brought in the grant, and the grant's terms reign supreme. In other 220 | words, partners can't re-route funds from a grant unless the grant allows 221 | it. 222 | 223 | B. Individually inspired: projects that are being led or adopted by BIFFUD 224 | members. BIFFUD Money isn't spent on these, but there is a degree of expectation 225 | of quality and process around their execution. NOTE: We need a mechanism for 226 | a member to be able to fund their own projects -- pay for server space, URLs, or 227 | maybe even hire people. I think The LLC protections fall apart if members are paying 228 | for company projects out of pocket, so we may need to think of something clever 229 | here. It could simply be that BIFFUD invoices the member in question for the 230 | expenses associated with their projects. 231 | 232 | C. BIFFUD Sponsored: some day there might be enough money in the bank to 233 | actually fund development of projects. This might be an individually 234 | inspired project that the owners decide is worth supporting financially. 235 | 236 | When projects are approved by the board they not only become official BIFFUD 237 | projects, but stake in the project starts to get codified. Members involved 238 | in the project should collectively figure out what percentage stake they have 239 | based on their expected involvement and contribution. 240 | 241 | Stake in a project only matters because if a project brings in money it'll help 242 | make sure that contributors feel fairly treated. 243 | 244 | Example: Baron and I have both worked on Geochordinates; we would have a 50/50 245 | stake in that project. 246 | 247 | The point isn't to introduce negotiation or tension; I recommend that people 248 | take an honest approach here. We can figure out a process to resolve any 249 | potential conflict here. 250 | 251 | BIFFUD Sponsored projects won't affect ownership, but they do adjust the way 252 | project profits are distributed, since BIFFUD would get a larger share back 253 | to make up for money spent. 254 | 255 | 256 | **How are profits distributed across members and project contributors?** 257 | **Can you see profits from a project you don’t contribute to?** 258 | **What “cut” will the organization take of profits to handle costs?** 259 | 260 | For grant funded projects, grant funds are not considered profit. Profits 261 | that come from grant funded projects, however, are considered profit. 262 | 263 | Profits for a project get split in a couple ways: 264 | 265 | 1. At the end of the year, BIFFUD expenses are added up and proportionally 266 | removed from project profits until all expenses are covered. This can be 267 | covered in a formula but I'll wait until we all agree first. 268 | 269 | 2. The rest of the profit is actual profit. Partners will be taxed on this, 270 | but BIFFUD will pay members an amount to offset that tax liability in full. 271 | Note, that if a partner actually earns income from BIFFUD, the partner would 272 | be liable for any relevant tax there. 273 | 274 | 3. 50% of the remaining profits for a project are divided among project stakeholders 275 | at a rate proportional to their noted stake. 276 | 277 | 4. The other 50% becomes company capital, which will be used to cover future 278 | expenses, sponsor projects, throw FUDCON, buy emoji, or whatever else the owners 279 | vote to pay for. 280 | 281 | 282 | NOTE: the above doesn't cover projects where people pay personally; I don't know 283 | if / how that can be handled without piercing the LLC veil. 284 | 285 | 286 | **What does it mean to run or be part of a BIFFUD project?** 287 | It's really hard to try to codify this. BIFFUD is meant to be a source 288 | of fun, not pressure. That said, we want to treat it seriously and avoid 289 | a pile of derelict projects. Folks should just think of this as a group 290 | who is inspired to build things together. They should communicate, show 291 | interest in one another's projects, and remember that we're a network of 292 | smart and capable people! 293 | 294 | Running a BIFFUD project should be seen as a chance to make something that 295 | gets covered on wired, or hacker news, or The Onion. It could earn money, 296 | it could inspire laughter on the other side of the planet, or maybe it will just 297 | make you smile when you think about it. 298 | 299 | If the work starts getting tedious, or the humor dies, that's fine. Not 300 | every project that people start will be a winner, and maybe someone else 301 | will pick it up later. 302 | 303 | 304 | **How should projects be managed?** 305 | 306 | Process around specific projects will be up to the person leading the project, 307 | though there will be some standard components around documentation. Those 308 | components will be a blend of FOSS best practice and BIFFUD lulz. For instance 309 | projects are expected to maintain a QUOTES.md laying out noteworthy lines that 310 | come out of a project's development. A CONTRIBUTING.md explaining how a person 311 | can contribute to the project or raise issues. 312 | 313 | Github issues should be used when possible. Commit messages should follow best 314 | practices. For multi-member / multi-contributor projects teams should strongly 315 | consider using a process of branches and pull requests for the sake of making 316 | it easy for future strangers to contribute and understand what's going on. 317 | 318 | None of this is required or anything, but the more consistent the BIFFUD experience 319 | is across projects, the easier it is going to be to expand our community. 320 | 321 | 322 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 323 | SECTION 3: Decision Making 324 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 325 | 326 | **How are decisions made around process and output?** 327 | 328 | Process around specific projects will be up to the person leading the project, 329 | though there will be some standard components around documentation. Those 330 | components will be a blend of FOSS best practice and BIFFUD lulz. For instance 331 | projects are expected to maintain a QUOTES.md laying out noteworthy lines that 332 | come out of a project's development. A CONTRIBUTING.md explaining how a person 333 | can contribute to the project or raise issues. 334 | 335 | Github issues, branches, and pull requests should be used for projects. 336 | 337 | 338 | **How are decisions made around resources?** 339 | 340 | Grant resources are dictated by the grant terms; so no decisions need to be made 341 | there. 342 | 343 | For money in BIFFUD's bank account, we will have a treasurer responsible for keeping 344 | an eye on that. The partners will need to vote to approve other expenses aside from 345 | regular operating expenses such as taxes, legal fees, and banking fees. 346 | 347 | 348 | **How are decisions made about what kinds of projects are part of BIFFUD?** 349 | 350 | During monthly meetings the board will vote to approve new ideas. We should 351 | go into this with a reasonable collective understanding of what makes an idea 352 | BIFFUD material, but ultimately it will be up to the board to determine in each 353 | instance. 354 | 355 | Some sample heuristics: 356 | 357 | - Project should make people thinking face emoji 358 | - Project should be realistic to implement with the resources available 359 | - Project should have more than one member with meaningful stake (or be grant funded) 360 | - Project should be "Chaotic Good" "Lawful Good" or "True Good" 361 | 362 | 363 | ** What are the kinds of decisions that voting members will be making?** 364 | ** What defines a quorum for that kind of decision?** 365 | 366 | A. Introducing new members: how does equity redistribution work with new members 367 | B. Removing members (? seems like there should be terms for this) 368 | C. Accepting projects into BIFFUD 369 | D. Removing projects: I'd like the bar to be reasonably high for why the board would decide to remove a project from BIFFUD. 370 | E. Allocating / spending resources on company wide stuff (website, github account, etc) 371 | F. Allocating / spending resources on specific BIFFUD projects (e.g. hiring a developer 372 | or designer, paying for a domain name or server space, etc) 373 | G. Accepting money from third parties / applying for money from third parties 374 | H. Formal relationships / contracts with third parties 375 | I. Policy changes / changes to the corporate repo that require board weigh-in 376 | 377 | For each of these, what is the % of members who have to vote for a vote to count? 378 | For each kind of vote, what is the % of votes that are needed for the motion to pass? 379 | If there are multiple tiers of member, which ones vote for which types of decision? 380 | 381 | 382 | 383 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 384 | SECTION 4: Important Stuff 385 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 386 | 387 | **What is our relationship with Open Source** 388 | 389 | Everything made as part of BIFFUD, unless explicitly approved otherwise 390 | by the partners, will be developed as open source projects using an MIT 391 | License. 392 | 393 | 394 | **What are all the things we want to incorporate into our operating agreement / bylaws** 395 | 396 | - Emoji 397 | - Attempts at SQL injection 398 | - Puns (and corresponding pun ratings) 399 | - A rickroll when you read the first letter of every line 400 | - A project acceptance framework driven by D&D Alignment axis 401 | - Notes about prioritizing buying a canoe and naming it "BIFFUD" 402 | - Is BIFFUD pronounced BIFFUD or BIFFUD 403 | - Required to have an algorithmically generated board meeting 404 | - We want to avoid lawsuits between members 405 | 406 | "Lets just pause and think for a moment about the majority of the movie twins" 407 | "... Oh god we're the Danny DeVito of twins" 408 | Idea for meeting votes: "We need emoji on a stick" 409 | 410 | Emoji in github issues 411 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
