Principles and Classes
To avoid excessive bureaucracy and possible future complications, we at EOS have devised a simple system of agreement to be used within the Technate.
As
you join the Technate, we will lay out some ground-work in accordance
to which we expect you to act when working with us. We will formulate
this in the form of simple principles we expect you to follow. You
may define your requirements and expectations of us in the same way
and we will strive to follow them.
Every
now and then, the Technate directors will verify everybody's
compliance to all principles and award appropriate certifications. We
will require you to maintain compliance with some of these in order
to let you continue to work with us, but you are also perfectly free
to refuse cooperation with anyone who does not meet your requirements
of certification as well. These same rules apply to everybody within
the Technate, including EOS.
To maintain an easy and comprehensive overview of the principles currently in effect, we have designed a computer database into which we want you to enter these and where you can look them up. You can find it here: http://standards.ctrl-alt-del.si
Energy Accounting
In
the Technate, an economic system of Energy Accounting is used instead
of the usual monetary system of exchange. The reasons for this lie in
the need for sustainability and you will find this accounting system
to be the primary attribute of the Technate.
The energy accounting system requires of you two simple things:
How
much time you have spent working on a particular end-product
What is the nominal power of the machines you were using to accomplish this
To further simplify the use of this system we have designed a software program that will do all the calculation and everything needed for compliance with the others, all you need to do is enter the above information into it, keeping it accurate to the best of your ability. Before publishing any information to the Internet, the program will ask your permission. Everything else is completely automatic.
Everybody
within the Technate will then get an equal share of this, for
organizational or personal use. The more work capacity is provided to
the Technate, the more everybody within it gets to use at no
particular cost. Regardless of this, how much of your work you offer
to the Technate remains strictly under your control.
