#3213 - Composr Foundation / Composr v11 launch planning

This is a spacer post for a website comment topic. The content this topic relates to: #3213 - Composr Foundation / Composr v11 launch planning
There is now a CoC and an [email protected] address pointing to me.
Hopefully CoC enforcement could become an elected or assigned position in the future.
This issue now contains all the "soft" tasks around getting v11 out the door alongside our new organisation.

I have a separate (internal) document for stuff ocProducts needs to do to make this big change happen, and for services the company may offer its client base to bring them on board with v11. "v11 launch - ocProducts tasks.txt".

Some of this stuff will be bumped to v11 minor releases or v12.
Discussed this with Patrick. Plans are largely the same, but not going to set up an actual legal entity for the foundation anymore - because there's a lot of overhead with that. I looked into it, had a long discussion with an accountant, and we'd have to have a permanent board with at least 3 people, none of which could be Patrick or myself (due to conflicts of interest). That level of bureaucracy is more than we want to setup, especially as it contradicts the autonomous organisation plans. So instead we plan to simply work with a contributor agreement system. Contributors contribute as individuals, but need to file signed contributor agreements for various things into a public Git repository.
We should be replacing our vision page on the website with a constitution page. I think it should be modeled around the US constitution, and kind of spell out our user's rights, our focus, and our governance and overall philosophy. That would include Open Source, the right to receive credit, the right to receive voting power based on contribution, the right for other's to fork, a desire for freedom against corporations, etc etc. See also today's comment on #3204.
That could work. I also have some guidelines for writing constitutions in an organization focus, and I re-wrote one organization's entire constitution for them modeled after those principles. It's a bit different than what you describe though. It's not necessarily rights-focused but more "this is who we are" focused.
