Gravity toward ads/ad-related revenue.

Ain't that the truth? At the very end of the book, I call these companies "addicts creating more addicts." You might enjoy that part.

I design information systems that bridge business strategy and technical execution through rapid low-code prototyping (MBA + data engineering background)—seeking product/operations roles where speed-to-value and stakeholder collaboration matter.

How did you get the IEEE.org address, mate?

It is a benefit of membership, or was. It might now be discontinued and grandfathered.

I have a key for https://once.com/campfire by 37Signals.com, which is an alternative to Slack, that I could offer in-kind to Hack Club - if desired.

It's open source and you own your own data.

So you know - campfire is now open source.

It's free now, they released it for free in most recent Railsconf.

I love the idea of a Jazz Kissa, but I wonder if this would even work in the U.S. due to intellectual property/rights restrictions.

It was probably less of a problem when you owned physical copies, but I don’t see it working (legally) with digital rights restrictions.

Any future risk events related to negligence?

The public document - PLAN FOR THE ARTIST-OWNED INTERNET - zine subvert published yesterday has quite a bit of detail on the complexities and possibilities in the governance and benefit of the co-op. The team supposedly includes lawyers and economists.

I think silicon valley actually LIKES founder fiefdoms. Not really the same spirit as worker cooperatives. The cap table is the game.

hard for investors to get paid for other people's work when the workers own their profits :(

You might underestimate the power games that are artist royalties agreements and the current domination by large corporates.

I assume there will be some energy within the cooperative to establish some shared means of production. It seems probable.
