++ Tebibyte Media is composed of two distinct parts: the Network and the + Project. The latter is made up of its staff + and the infrastructure that supports it. The constituent projects and + networks associated with the Project make up our Network. This + distinction exists in order to maintain an appropriate separation + between the Project's and members' interests and to preserve some of + the heterogeneity of these communities. +
++ Emma Tebibyte is the founder of the Project and + the + + benevolent dictator for life of Tebibyte Media. The Network is + designed with autonomy in mind + so that the Project staff cannot abuse the power given to them. +
+
+ The other members of staff include Lilith,

+
+ Tebibyte Media's raison d'être is its Network. + Our goal as a Project is to foster the growth of that Network by + extending connections of solidarity between individuals, projects, and + other networks who share the values we believe are important in the + digital age. +
++ For more information regarding the specification of the Network as + well as the current list of members, the benefits they enjoy, and + their responsibilities, see our + Network page. +
++ Tebibyte Media was started in 2020 by Emma Tebibyte to create a + community of technology-savvy individuals on + a Discord “server” who shared faer values. Its + original goal was to propagate free software values, which influenced + its current purpose. +
++ Today, Tebibyte Media is an aspiring group of free software and + open-access enthusiasts who believe that all information should be + free and publicly accessible. To that end, we promote, share, connect, + and support like-minded developers, artists, writers, and creators + whose work progresses toward this goal. Read more at our + blog. +

+ The members of the Network are split into two separate categories: 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. +
++ 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 postmodernist fiction blog could + count as a Tebibyte Media project as long as the work is available to + its readers under a free + + license. +
++ A network might be a webring, an online social hub for the + advancement of an idea or collective agenda, or an + organization which has multiple discrete components or + internal projects with distinct individuals heading them up. + A group of sites whose constituents are all blogs that focus on + physics could be an example of a Tebibyte Media network. +
++ Tebibyte Media's Network is designed in a way that is meant to prevent + the Project from wielding power over members. All data and servers + relating to any given member's infrastructure and the administrative + privileges that come with it are theirs. +
++ 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 tasked with selecting the + representative. +
++ Note that we only want one representative from each project because it + will simplify communication; to have a specific individual we know we + can reach out to in discussions is important for quick resolutions. +
++ Member networks are given the opportunity to provide as many + representatives as there are distinct viewpoints in the community that + network represents. +
++ Every month, on the first day of the month, the Project will publish a + blog post detailing the month in review of the Network. Representatives + of each member will be responsible for working with the Project editors + to write a short decription of the state of the member, 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. +
++ The Project takes upon itself responsibilities for each member of the + Network. We will provide infrastructure that your project needs to + succeed. Infrastructure currently available includes: +
