Tebibyte Media's <i>raison d'être</i> is its Network. Our goal as a
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Project is to foster the creation of that Network by extending
|
|
|
|
|
connections of solidarity between project who share the values we
|
|
|
|
|
believe are important in the new digital age.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h2 id="specification"><a href="#specification">Specification</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Tebibyte Media is composed of two distinct parts: the Network and
|
|
|
|
|
the Project. The latter is made up of myself, the individuals I
|
|
|
|
|
have recruited into the Project, and the infrastructure which supports
|
|
|
|
|
it; the former, the constituent projects and networks which are
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the Project. This distinction exists in order to
|
|
|
|
|
maintain an appropriate separation between the interests of these
|
|
|
|
|
entities to preserve the heterogeneity of these communities.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Like the components defined above, the members of the Network are
|
|
|
|
|
split into two separate categories:
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
A "project" in this context is an entity whose constituents are
|
|
|
|
|
individuals; a "network" is one whose members are projects
|
|
|
|
|
themselves, or a mix of projects and other networks.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

<p>

2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
A Tebibyte Media "project" does not necessarily have to be
|
|
|
|
|
a free software project; it can be anything involving strong
|
|
|
|
|
public engagement and iterative development. For example, a
|
|
|
|
|
post-modernist fiction-writing blog can count as a Tebibyte
|
|
|
|
|
Media project, as long as the work is ongoing and the blog is
|
|
|
|
|
shared at no cost to its readers.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

|

</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
A "project" could be an open writing publication requiring
|
|
|
|
|
attention or third-party reviewing, a free software project
|
|
|
|
|
looking for a userbase and pool of talented developers, or an art
|
|
|
|
|
project looking for exposure and contributors.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
A "network" might be a webring, an online social hub for the
|
|
|
|
|
advancement of some idea or combined agenda, or an organization
|
|
|
|
|
which has multiple distinct components or internal projects but
|
|
|
|
|
which still works toward one main goal. A webring whose
|
|
|
|
|
constituents are all blogs that focus on physics would be an
|
|
|
|
|
example.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
In the case of members creating new networks internal to Tebibyte
|
|
|
|
|
Media's influence, we take it upon ourselves to mediate and foster
|
|
|
|
|
that connection; we see these novel networks as partially our
|
|
|
|
|
responsibility.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Every project in the Network will be represented by a single person
|
|
|
|
|
who will be appropriately selected by the members of that project.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, in the case of a free software project run by a BDFL,
|
|
|
|
|
the leader of that project would be that Representative or could
|
|
|
|
|
select someone else to represent it. Any member networks are given
|
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to provide as many Representatives as there are
|
|
|
|
|
distinct viewpoints in the community that network represents.
|
2022-08-24 07:10:04 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2022-08-22 23:08:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Every month, on the first day of the month, the Project will put out
|
|
|
|
|
a blog post detailing the month in review of the Network.
|
|
|
|
|
Representatives of each member entity will be responsible for
|
|
|
|
|
working with the Project Editors in order to write a short two- or
|
|
|
|
|
three-paragraph decription of the state of their member entity,
|
|
|
|
|
including what has been accomplished in the past month and what is
|
|
|
|
|
on the horizon. These sections will be submitted to the blog
|
|
|
|
|
repository using the git version-tracking system. Knowledge of this
|
|
|
|
|
system is not required but is preferred.Our editors will be able to
|
|
|
|
|
guide Representatives through the submission process and help with
|
|
|
|
|
any problems presented by this setup.
