Hello, World of Software Makers !
![](/static/images/collective-navigation/CollectiveNavbarIconAbout.png)
About
What
- In legal terms: “Σύλλογος / Σωματείο”. A non-profit legal entity based in Greece.
- A strictly non-profit organization.
- Run by VOLUNTEERS.
- Based in Crete, members can be anywhere!
Why
- Originally conceived as the official legal entity to run SoCraTes-Crete.org
- Non-profit event -> non-profit entity to host it
- **Money:** we don’t want individual people to manage funds in our own bank
accounts
- **Risk:** we don’t want individual people to take on the risk of running this
event
- **Intellectual Property**
- all intellectual property should belong to / be controlled by the
community: domains, discord, data, etc.
How
- “Members” elect “executive committee” every 2 years
- “Executive committee” manages day-to-day operations
- “Executive committee” appoints “Org Teams” to manage individual events
- e.g. SoCraTes-Crete.org OrgTeam !== Software Makers Executive Committee
For more details, please check the Founding Document.
