Sorry - I’ll be @ work so not able to make it…
I wanted to raise an idea about using our reserve fund and ‘additional’ income to propose we pay someone (a revolving role, swapped each Q) as Project Leader for a few set days each week, to manage the project and drive forward the most pressing tasks… with the idea that this role is also able (given approval from the other Ops Members where required) to deploy other funds, in order to get tasks done (at pre-agreed prices) … the idea being to spur us on and avoid stagnation. Just an idea… happy for this to be forked off into another thread for further discussion…
For @melissamcnab I think we can just use the normal process, but take into consideration her missed Q2 assignment when we do the allocation. That extra % will come out of the reserves, so it’s essentially the same as doing a “special allocation”, but without procedural overhead. Cool?
Hi @osb, now that we’re generating more and more revenue we are slowly being able to pay more fair compensations for our work.
So we could discuss various ways in adjusting our compensation framework. I feel that we have to have a rough consensus about the direction of change and then do a vote about the specific proposal. Unfortunately you cannot make it to today’s All Hands and I cannot make it in August (due to the holidays). Absent synchronous discussion, I agree it’d be good to launch an online thread about this on the forum. My first thoughts: 1) make sure that the emerging model is considered fair by all active participants, 2) maybe we could transition towards paying “bounties” by tasks in combination with some hourly compensations for ongoing support, tech maintenance and coordination work?
ok, I cannot make it in August, but if we could adjust the Distribution process in such way that people can participate asynch during the summer months, that shouldn’t be a big problem, should it?
erm, I understand that we did this special allocation as an exceptional measure last time, but you wouldn’t want to make that a regular thing? That would render the normal process obsolete I’m afraid?
We didn’t do any special allocation last time. I am proposing we use he normal process and take into account the missed normal allocation for @melissamcnab when we vote this time.
Maybe I misunderstood your suggestion, @benhylau . WRT the allocation we made for Melissa, it was special in two ways: 1) it was agreed after the formal distribution meeting and 2) it was agreed to be deducted from the reserve, - or at least that’s what we suggested,
Oh is there an amount already determined? Then let’s stick with that amount. Sorry I wasn’t aware this already took place and was thinking we need to sort it in the next meeting.
Hi @melissamcnab sorry is process is confusing because @wouter and I have some miscommunication, and it is mostly procedural and shouldn’t affect you. What I expected was this which is slightly different from what @wouter had in mind.
Please feel free to invoice 189,03 GBP to the Open Collective anytime you wish for your work in Q1. Finance will have a way of recording this in the Q2 snapshot regardless when you send the invoice. Again, apologies for the confusion from our end.
