3. Description of Project
The purpose of the foundation is to create open source technological infrastructure and tools for communities to design and implement new generation of adaptive and cooperative economical and financial systems, and their necessary legal and organisational support structures, with the core values of autonomy, abundance, safety, disintermediation and privacy.
The tasks of the foundation include:
Research, development and funding of technologies that enable these goals.
Host for the IP related to the open source projects it hosts in a resilient and trusted manner.
Promote these technologies and tools, and educate the community on their use.
Function as a nexus point for other organisations with aligned goals and values.
To make its goals a multi-organizational effort and build a vibrant ecosystem around them.
To provide its member organizations with high priority access to its tools, including relevant support and education.
To raise fund and other resources for these purposes, to manage and allocate the resources.
3.b - Legal Issues:
The foundation can have employees and engage contractors for the achievement of its goals. It can also hand out grants to individuals and organisations that further its goals.
The foundation will form formal and informal relationships with other organisations, including non-profits and companies. The nature of such relationships will be determined by the board.
The software and other IP designed and developed by the foundation will be released exclusively under OSI compliant licenses. The focal point of the project is the creation of the technology, not necessarily the actual implementation. Additionally the project may be applying to sponsor foreign workers to support the tech coding and oversight.
