Objectives:
-
Facilitate a transparent and fault tolerant community via collective ownership of
the-bort.com. -
Record all revenue and expenses of
the-bort.comto date, and continuing forward. -
Use communal resources to grow and hopefully rebuild what we lost better than it was. It’s an uphill battle given the losses suffered, but I also know most of yall out there are incredibly clever and kindhearted, so I am optimistic.
I’ve been asked the valid question, “If I donate, where does my money go?” I’m a better programmer than book keeper, so it’d be really nice if we could get a Bort Treasurer to help with this. In the meanwhile, here is a list of all costs and revenue to date.
