Within bitspossessed we want to promote our values by working transparently in terms of organizational structure and contribute to "open source" structures to
inspire other collectives.
We created a non-hierarchical structure with clear and healthy roles that are rotated regularly.
- Navigator / Collective Tasks Coordination
- Warp drive engineer / Infrastructure / house builder / Collective Dev-Ops
- Finances / Pre-post-scarcity planning
- Spaceship Counsellor / Spock-Hand
- Fun coordinator / dynamisation / "Fun-raising"
- External Communication / Social Media / Website / E-Mail
- Secretary
- Moderator
- Meetup coordinator
- Project coordinator
- Repository maintainer
As we work primarily remote-first, we have virtual office with the following spaces:
- We host many of the services in a Debian Server provided by Maadix.
- Nextcloud sharing for files, calendar, contacts, and project borads. We use OnlyOffice for collaborative writting.
- Rocket.Chat for internal communication.
- Jitsi for video calls.
- HedgeDoc https://hedgedoc.org/ for collaborative note taking in Markdown.
- FreeScout for managing shared mailboxes.
- Mailman for managing mailing lists.
- Webmail Rainloop as a web-based email client.
- Bitwarden to centrally store credentials.
- Clockify for tracking our working time.
- GitHub for hosting our code repositories.
- OBS to record locally the content we want to preserve.
We prioritize maintaining our own infrastructure, and using open source software internally to our own ability.
