Please reply with a "Yes" or "No" to cast your vote. Vote ends in 7 days. All members of the GA can vote "Yes" - The FFmpeg project should actively seek sponsors and funding. - The money will be used for FFmpeg and the FFmpeg community. (Maintenance= , Development, Infra, Testing, Travel, Research, ...) - The money would also be used to hire / employ / contract FFmpeg Contribu= tors fulltime or whatever the preferrance of each Contributor is. - Work / employment shall be preferrentially be given to FFmpeg Developers= / FFmpeg community members. This preferrance for "FFmpeg Developers / FFmpeg community members" sha= ll be the only preferrance. Outside that preferrance, a fair selection process shall be used by the= General Assembly which only maximizes FFmpegs future. - Goals are * to provide secure full time employment for every major FFmpeg contrib= utor, who wants to have that. * to accelerate growth and improve quality - A fair selection process shall be used by the FFmpeg Community to select= what the money is used for, which maximizes FFmpegs future. - The FFmpeg community will be the decission maker about these funds. - The FFmpeg community will, at any time be able to change the process of = how these decission are made by public consensus. - In absence of privacy concerns, decissions will be made by public consen= sus amongth the commuity, or if that fails, public vote of the GA members requireing a 2/3 majority to release funds= for some use. - For cases with privacy concerns, decissions will be made by consensus or= (2/3 maj) vote amongth the General Assembly. - We will use SPI to collect the funds. - If significant limitations or obstacles occur with SPI then we will cons= ider founding our own FFmpeg foundation. "No" - leave things as they are Some Notes: Employing people is complex as it requires compliance to local regulati= ons. Thus it should be expected that for employing developers, we will likely need to work together with local companies. That is if we want to employ someone in Country X we could partner with a company in Country X which then employs the developer and SPI would pay that company. --=20 Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Give a rich man 100$ and he will turn it into 1000$.
