+
+ 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,
+ mars, sasha,
+ thegoose, Trinity,
+ and vista".
+
+
+ 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.
+
+ A tebibyte is a unit of digital storage equal to 1099511627776 bytes.
+ The confusion ensuing due to Microsoft Windows' usage of the SI
+ prefixes instead of the proper IEC ones is documented on

- Tebibyte Media is the culmination of what
- free
- software and
-
- open-access philosophy is all about—preserving and promoting
- the essential freedom to share:
-
- Our Network is designed to facilitate and
- spread that spirit of sharing, cooperation, and solidarity by
- providing to members firm foundations of support. If your
- project or community is young and you and your team is not sure
- how to build a userbase, maintain your own services, or if you
- need a way to get yourself and your work out there, you should
- consider applying!
-
- Even if you've been around the block, we're always accepting new
- members who share our values, and experienced Network members
- are also extremely important to us.
-
- Tebibyte Media's infrastructure is maintained by a few
- individuals who work on it in their spare time. As a result,
- funding is tight, so any donations are highly appreciated.
- Donations are accepted through

+
+ 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:
