Since just about everyone who has an interest in Hydra is a member of this community I am going to post this here. This is a working draft of the Structure and Vision of the Hydra Collective. Basically a base line for the discussion on how we think it will run after we go beyond just being the SUD design team. Let me know if you questions or suggestions.
I recognize that this is a working draft; these are just the questions that pop to mind as I read it.
ReplyDelete* What do you envision by the "special rights" that primary authors are supposed to have?
* What is meant by "Creator/Worker Ownership or at least A More than Fair Shake"? The second phrase is kinda opaque to me.
* How are percentages of work determined? (Partners? Project primary author?)

ReplyDelete1. Those outlined in the bullets below. I just wanted to flag that it was a special category above and beyond whether someone is a member or partner.
2. Sorry that really will be filled out later. Basically it's that we are either committed to people keeping their copyrights as primary authors or at least have a very generous terms that go beyond the traditional publisher/author arrangement.
3. We haven't figured that out yet. Personally I lean toward "partners and primary author decide/negotiate that jointly."
Looks reasonable to me, a few details to be nailed down and perhaps the more "vision" related bits to be explicated. This is an LLC, I take it or going to be?
ReplyDeleteamendment to 2. it also means that we are committed to having anyone who works on a project have at the least a level of ownership stakes in that project.
ReplyDeletetrey causey we are already officially a Texas-based "member" LLC (which means its owned by more than one person).
ReplyDeleteI thought I might have seen that somewhere, but I wasn't sure.
