Point
The Point states the purpose of a Peeramid. It is written by the peers, and it's the rallying call for everyone who's participating. The Point is a living document that can be amended and changed. For more information see the
FAQ
Establishment of a fair company
In the computer industry, large companies with a waterfall hierarchy structure are the most successful. Waterfall hierarchy has benefits from the aspect of work efficiency, but it seems somehow that rewards for the work being done are unfairly distributed.
Waterfall hierarchy? Just my expression for a situation: a boss tells you and your colleagues what to do and eith you do it or pass it to the people you are boss to. These structures usually obtain centralized leadership with very little creativity left to everything else. These structures also usually implement a rewarding ratio that doesn’t follow the ratio of amount of work that bosses and their stuff invest to the project.
Interestingly, efficiency of these conservative structures can be seen from comparing bigger commercial applications to bigger open source ones. Believe me, I’m not glad to admit that, i.e. commercial office products are winning the battle over open source ones. IMHO everyone should have the freedom to choose where to invest their time, while being rewarded from projects that benefit from them.
So, can we have the work efficiency of hierarchically structured companies with the benefits of freelance programming model? One of possible models is implemented by the very Peeramid. It provides a project structure, together with the freedom of choosing to participate in any segment of the project, or making a new segment that serves differently, according to one's favour. Also, any peeramid can be rebinded to any other parent peeramid that serves better than the current parent peeramid.
Please, feel free to propose Your models as well, as we are looking forward to etablish a healthy company.

I like the idea of donations only. Could we maybe create a donation system where people can spread their donations to the projects that they like or are interested in?
If we agree to let our own work for free, then we give to our coleagues and end users a freedom to define their vision of fair distribution of goods. Anything equal or above...view full post

Hi Pete, tx for wellcoming.
I was wondering, can i invite someone without Peeramid account to take a look at my peeramid? - 3
What kind of work would this democratically run company do? open source work? commercial work? I think this is an interesting idea and would like to learn more about it
we need some liking mechanism on which is based reward grading
I like the idea of a donation based open source software company myself.
This would be cool because it could create a nice reliable way of getting money to open-source...view full post
maybe open source?
and i'd be happy with donations because pople like to reward a good thing. - 0This (auto-generated) topic is the first conversation on this peeramid! Ask a question, introduce yourself, or just get to know your fellow peers by leaving a comment to this post.
