In December 2018, the Tahoe-LAFS project engaged Aspiration[1], a US 501(c)3
|
||||||
|
nonprofit technology organization, as a "fiscal sponsor"[2]. A portion of the
|
||||||
|
project's Bitcoin will be given to Aspiration, from which they can pay
|
||||||
|
developers and contractors to work on the Tahoe codebase. Aspiration will
|
||||||
|
handle the payroll, taxes, accounting, project management, and oversight, and
|
||||||
|
is compensated by an 8% management fee. This provides the tax-withholding
|
||||||
|
structure to use our project's BTC for significant development.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We're using 25% of our ~369 BTC for this initial stage of the project,
|
||||||
|
which will give us about $300K-$350K of development work, spread out
|
||||||
|
over the 2019 calendar year. While it would have been nice to make this
|
||||||
|
happen a year ago (given the recent decline of the BTC price), we think
|
||||||
|
this is a reasonable value, and we're excited to finally get to use this
|
||||||
|
surprise windfall to improve the codebase.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our initial set of projects to fund, drafted by Liz Steininger of Least
|
||||||
|
Authority and approved by Zooko and Brian, looks like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* porting Tahoe and dependent libraries to Python 3
|
||||||
|
* improving grid operation/management tools
|
||||||
|
* community outreach, UI/UX improvements, documentation
|
||||||
|
* adding new community-requested features, improving garbage collection
|
||||||
|
* possibly run another summit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If this goes well (and especially if the BTC price recovers), we'll
|
||||||
|
probably do more next year.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As usual, the transfer amounts and addresses will be logged in
|
||||||
|
"donations.rst" and "expenses.rst" in the docs/ directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many thanks to Gunner and Josh Black of Aspiration, and Liz Steininger
|
||||||
|
of Least Authority, for making this possible.
