PureLinux DAO

Open-source collaboration to the limit.

Why • Quickstart • Discord • 𝕏

All IP (Code, ..) of PureLinux is owned by the DAO and the DAO is owned by the contributors of the DAO.

We think that every contributor should have their fair stake within the projects. Most important for us is that barrier to contribution is as low as possible.

The project development is still very new, feel free to for open discussions about container orchestration and so on. We try to scale the development with the community so that the project achieves optimal momentum. Because the codebase is in general relatively small, one doesn't have to dive too deep into prebuilt structures to make valuable contributions. We try to give best possible credit to every contributor who's bringing this project to the world.

Process for Stake Distribution

It's not good for a project when someone digs themselves into a rabbit hole alone, because it makes it harder for others to join or contribute later.

At PureLinux, we try hard to build a decentralized autonomous organization to redefine how open-source contributions are rewarded and governed. We find this very important for the project to grow perfectly. For every contribution, each contributor receives tokens for the DAO, increasing their financial stake and/or influence in polls, including those shaping PureLinux Product Roadmaps and potential future developments.

It's not just about how big your seat is; it's more about how high the plane is flying.

Our mission is to create a community-driven Linux® ecosystem that ensures fairness, transparency, and accessibility for all contributors. Key features of the organization will include:

• Reward Mechanisms: Valid contributions are rewarded through a transparent token system, ensuring every contributor receives a fair stake based on their personal efforts.
• Quadratic Funding: A funding mechanism that prioritizes community-backed initiatives, amplifying the impact of collective support.
• Decentralized Governance: Token holders actively participate in shaping the project's direction through votes, empowering contributors to drive innovation.
• Low Contribution Barriers: We aim to make contributions seamless and rewarding, both on GitHub and beyond.

Monetarization

Somehow the DAO needs to finance itself (the world is how it is..). Because of that we plan to implement the following monetarization strategies to pay the development of the open-source version of TIO:

• Dashboard Pro (Local/Server) [one-time payment]
• Managed services: TIO Cloud Pro (based on TIO Runtime Pro) [monthly payment]
• Professional support offering for TIO Pro Services [monthly payment]
