Organization Overview
This chapter describes the components of the organisation and everything needed to know to manage it. The purpose of the organisation is to provide a platform for people with a deep technical knowledge to create services in a transparent and ethical fashion, providing alternatives to members of the organisation and the general public. We believe these goals can be best achieved in an organisation, especially one that is cooperative, democratic and invites collaboration.
The task of the organisation is to manage finances, facilitate transparent collaboration and build credibility through community ownership. These goals are difficult to achieve as an individual or a top-down organisation, such as a private company.
