Open Collective takes 5% and the other 5% goes to the non profit that provides fiscal sponsorship for the projects.

It's 10% which gets shared 5% & 5% between the platform and the non for profit that is the custodian of the funds (and provides compliance, tax filing, 1099s,etc)

You have a point! The goal though is not for one FUND to support they entire ecosystem but for many funds supporting it. 1k from one fund and 3k from another for example + recurring subscriptions from individuals, end up adding up. (disclos

Hi! Pia here from Open Collective - In the FUNDS case the fees are taken when the Fund is created. Donations from the Fund are free of fees afterwards. Since the Funds are generally bank payments, there's no Stripe fees in this case.

Hi Francisco - Pia from Open Collective here. Thanks for the ping on this. We deployed a quick fix to reduce the width and we'll look at it with more time.

For those projects in countries with stripe, they can use open collective with their own stripe account. Fees are half since we don’t do fiscal sponsorship (they would self host) and the benefits is that we have the whole subscription &#x2F

What would an alternative be for you?

by piamancini 12y ago
I agree, we have a long roadmap ahead and all your points should be in it. If you wish to contribute, by all means github.com/democracyos. It's an open source project.

We met Tom Atlee lately, he is fantastic. His insights on how to move forward, the importance of diversity in the process, where super sharp. I would add to the list, When People Speak by Fishkin and check Marina Gorbis' book on The Na

For sure! Being Open Source it's fundamental to the spirit and vision of DemocracyOS.

It's crazy what's happening in Brazil these days, as a close neighbour(Argentinean) it pains me to see such upheaval. To your point, we could set up a protocol that the SaaS version of DemocracyOS can only be used inside the limit

maybe we could think about a two-tier system were we delegate only decisions that should be taken our of the hands of majority and to the citizens the huge number of decisions that we can make that affect our every-day lives. I think the o

hi! some pilot live implementations with council-members in the US: marfarrell.democracyos.org (SF) benkallos.democracyos.org (NYC). Would love to know your thoughts. pia@democracyos.org

Hi! We are trying to get enough philanthropic seed funding to find a sustainable model. Maybe OS SAS, or github's: free as long as it's open. For the moment it's all grants.

We are working to validate democracyOS votes with the blockchain. Happy to listen to any other suggestions

This is exactly the type of conversation we want to have. What institutions can we design for the internet society?
25.
by piamancini 12y ago
It's a super valid point. We are not claiming all decisions should be taken this way. But we can imagine a system where a large chunk of decisions can be devolved to the citizens. The constitution and the bill or rights provide a frame

Thank you! Totally agree with the branching aspect and yesterday we were playing with some ideas to order debate in pros&cons. Also, we are looking for funding to form a blockchain team, to validate democracyos votes in bc. All ideas ar

we are launching the hub now where everyone, even the pirate party in argentina can have their own democracyos and raise their own issues. Stay tuned

by piamancini 12y ago
make up your mind, are we or are we not a party? if we are not, as you got tired if claiming then it's not illegal.

by piamancini 12y ago
I agree with you. We've outsourced citizenship and thinking for a long time. It's a long road ahead the one to reverse this.

We lost representation this year, but the Pirate Party was never a political party in Argentina. They didn't even run for elections once. So please...
