    * >david : Cut up more of existing talk with +cedric

    * study similar stuff, see where it fits:

SKILLS LIST

* your specialist skills, plus list others you imagine (can knick from somewhere) and saw from experience

* ... And then there is labour paid for anyway. From obligatory Chimney work to paying for accounting, what are some specialist labours we need to cover and how by their character?

:
    * free software hacker
    * groupware / workflow expert
    * animal veterinary
    * HVAC expert
    * [...]




"PERSPECTIVES": Matching 

* your best and less best matches with places (where you felt it might be less on point to actually basically donate precarious work)... To found perspectivic ethical charter. Think this matching of character will help.

:
    * see 🔗non-shitty and 🔗coop for an idea
    * do work to signal, or better help prevent (with legal support), any chance of "direction change":
        example: people crowdfund Oculus rift, then it sells to Facebook
        example: people invest precarious labour into a "community" project, then legal owner decides to sell it off for a profit
        ----------
        so:
            * community land trusts
            * associations, foundations, etc
    * [...]




"FULL LIFESTYLE COVERAGE" APPROACH

* role, and models, of money and compensation. Reality is food is already mostly paid for these 20h/week workaway people by some way (document what we know). Then there is travel, insurances, neccessary tools of trade, etc. If this is to be a self chosen precarious lifestyle it must work throughout?







EXISTING EXAMPLES OF SPECIALIST AGREEMENTS IN PLACES

CHT:
    >david !
    CHT has no specialist policy - everyone is self funded.
    However specialists can apply for "starving" rate, which means they only pay for CREW (=food) and SPACE_MAINTENANCE (=broken stuff and utilities), no SPACE_INVESTMENT (=new stuff investment).

"""
Volunteers

• 3-6 Volunteers are covered by maintenance
• The number depends on the season and agreements between active community members (low amount of money from active community members can mean X is small)
• More than X Volunteers have to pay as Active Community Members
• Work 25h a week
• This also applies to Specialists, Hackers and IT-People - on demand (eg. Carpenter, Stone mason etc.)

Edit
Hackers and IT-People

• If they work (unpaid/low pay) on Open Source Projects they only have to work 20h a week for the project (which can also include working open source for us)

There is also the possibility to arrange a mixture of both - if you don't want to work that much, you can work a bit and pay the other part.

v1.0 GOALS

I have been at a place that had an undefined need and attempts to clear this up. I believe now that easily plugged process stubs might be the entry vector.

"So I'm offering my help to have a defined software, build a mvp that operates immediately without code, and deploy it."

ROUGHLY:
    * fill up above systematic lists
    * contact select places -> test 10
    * find contact select specialists -> test 20
    * [...]
