Kosmos Summit 2020
2020-10-10T12:04:44Z
<p>Bumi: /* Session schedule */</p>
<hr />
<div>* Location: Sambuca di Sicilia, Italy (HackerHouse/L6) + Remote (Zoom, or Jitsi Meet, or similar)<br />
* Dates: October 10-11, 2020<br />
<br />
All core contributor hands on deck! After having drifted on the oceans for a while, we need to chart a good course and set the sails.<br />
<br />
With all the basics for rapid feature development finally in place before this year's gathering, we'll be able to focus entirely on planning for, and hacking on, Kosmos Chat and Kosmos Services. And with our new initial budget, we can also start trialing our ideas for a sustainable, co-operative, open-source organization via Kosmos Kredits. Let's create a new roadmap and see where it takes us!<br />
<br />
== Dates ==<br />
<br />
Everyone is invited in October to visit Sicily and HackerHouse for a while and co-work from there (both on Kosmos and non-Kosmos stuff). In addition to the flexible long-form gathering, we will have two days or so of focused sessions, in which we will discuss and collaborate on the important topics.<br />
<br />
Dates for the Summit: October 10/11.<br />
<br />
== Accommodations ==<br />
<br />
There are some beds at the house itself, and also a variety of apartments in walking distance that we can use. For leisure time, there are both beaches and mountains, as well as old towns and ruins dating back to hundreds of years before the rise of Rome. Go explore!<br />
<br />
== Getting there ==<br />
<br />
Airports PMO and TPS are both ~1:15 hrs drive to Sambuca. PMO serves the most destinations. Please coordinate with others for sharing rental cars and/or getting picked up from the airport.<br />
<br />
=== COVID-19 notes ===<br />
<br />
Sambuca hasn't recorded a single case to date, and there are currently no travel restrictions in Italy for EU residents. Everything is open for business, but mask usage is currently required for shared indoor spaces other than restaurants. These notes will be kept up to date until the summit.<br />
It seems to enter Sicily a registration is needed through their [https://siciliasicura.costruiresalute.it/welcome Sicilia Si Cura] form or app.<br />
<br />
== Remote participation ==<br />
<br />
Whoever cannot or does not want to participate in person, can also call in via audio/video chat for the focus sessions. We are going to upgrade the buildings's Internet connection with our provider for the Summit days, and we will organize everything needed for decent remote participation. So if you cannot or do not want to travel at the moment, it will not be necessary to do so.<br />
<br />
Any and all help with organizing/improving remote participation is most appreciated, of course! Please join one of the upcoming weekly calls if you want to contribute to this topic.<br />

Kosmos Summit 2020
2020-10-06T09:55:04Z
<p>Bumi: /* COVID-19 notes */</p>
<hr />
<div>* Location: Sambuca di Sicilia, Italy (HackerHouse/L6) + Remote (Zoom, or Jitsi Meet, or similar)<br />
* Dates: October 10-11, 2020<br />
<br />
All core contributor hands on deck! After having drifted on the oceans for a while, we need to chart a good course and set the sails.<br />
<br />
With all the basics for rapid feature development finally in place before this year's gathering, we'll be able to focus entirely on planning for, and hacking on, Kosmos Chat and Kosmos Services. And with our new initial budget, we can also start trialing our ideas for a sustainable, co-operative, open-source organization via Kosmos Kredits. Let's create a new roadmap and see where it takes us!<br />
<br />
== Dates ==<br />
<br />
Everyone is invited in October to visit Sicily and HackerHouse for a while and co-work from there (both on Kosmos and non-Kosmos stuff). In addition to the flexible long-form gathering, we will have two days or so of focused sessions, in which we will discuss and collaborate on the important topics.<br />
<br />
Dates for the Summit: October 10/11.<br />
<br />
== Accommodations ==<br />
<br />
There are some beds at the house itself, and also a variety of apartments in walking distance that we can use. For leisure time, there are both beaches and mountains, as well as old towns and ruins dating back to hundreds of years before the rise of Rome. Go explore!<br />
<br />
== Getting there ==<br />
<br />
Airports PMO and TPS are both ~1:15 hrs drive to Sambuca. PMO serves the most destinations. Please coordinate with others for sharing rental cars and/or getting picked up from the airport.<br />
<br />
=== COVID-19 notes ===<br />
<br />
Sambuca hasn't recorded a single case to date, and there are currently no travel restrictions in Italy for EU residents. Everything is open for business, but mask usage is currently required for shared indoor spaces other than restaurants. These notes will be kept up to date until the summit.<br />
It seems to enter Sicily a registration is needed through their [https://siciliasicura.costruiresalute.it/welcome Sicilia Si Cura] form or app.<br />
<br />
== Remote participation ==<br />
<br />
Whoever cannot or does not want to participate in person, can also call in via audio/video chat for the focus sessions. We are going to upgrade the buildings's Internet connection with our provider for the Summit days, and we will organize everything needed for decent remote participation. So if you cannot or do not want to travel at the moment, it will not be necessary to do so.<br />
<br />
Any and all help with organizing/improving remote participation is most appreciated, of course! Please join one of the upcoming weekly calls if you want to contribute to this topic.<br />

<hr />
<div>Date: Feb 25, 2019<br /><br />
People: galfert, gregkare, lio17, raucao, four<br />
<br />
Discussion around the roadmap and ToDos for the next months:<br />
Roadmap notes copied from [https://cryptpad.fr/code/#/2/code/edit/X6YzaptZsM3UQtGSuzaLi0gI/ Cryptpad]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Kredits Roadmap 2019 ==<br />
<br />
<br />
# Deploy new contracts with ERC721 (contribution) token<br />
## data must be re-usable / to be able to collect actual tokens we must no longer lose the data<br />
## Contribution contract requires veto addition.<br />
# Expense Management (e.g. server/infrastructure costs, events, ...)<br />
## focus: transparency tracking within the contracts/kredits<br />
## payments can be done independent of the contract; e.g. in bitcoin<br />
## expense voting can be done on-chain in the expense contract<br />
# Dividend payments towards contributors<br />
# Onboarding<br />
## Do not lose contribution data from people who don't have a kredits account<br />
## Record contributions from new contributors for later<br />
## Once signed up, create contribution tokens from recorded data<br />
## Document exactly how one gets an account and how they would use it for voting/vetoing etc.<br />
## Improve manual contribution entry<br />
<br />
<br />
Related milestones are create for the kredits-web and kredits-contracts GitHub repositories.<br />
<br />
=== March ===<br />
<br />
* Finish contribution PR, stripping everything possible, adding vetos<br />
* Update contract JS wrapper to support new contracts<br />
* Update Web UI to use new contribution token/metadata<br />
<br />
=== April ===<br />
<br />
* Onboarding<br />

<br />
=== May ===<br />
<br />

<p>Bumi: Add aragon notes</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
== What is Aragon? ==<br />
<br />
Aragon is a decentralised app on the Ethereum blockchain which allows anyone to create and manage decentralized organisations. It is an open-source project led by the Aragon Association. Aragon provides a platform for the creation of new, decentralised organisational forms that protect self-sovereignty, empower communities and facilitate collaboration across borders and jurisdictions.<br />
<br />
=== Links: ===<br />
<br />
* [https://aragon.org/ aragon.org]<br />
* [https://blog.aragon.org/the-aragon-manifesto-4a21212eac03/ Aragon Manifesto]<br />
* [https://blog.aragon.org/ Aragon blog]<br />
<br />
<br />
== AragonOS and AragonCLI ==<br />
<br />
aragonOS is a smart contract framework for building decentralized organizations, dapps, and protocols.<br />
<br />
aragonOS provides the following functionality:<br />
<br />
* Upgreadability: standard for upgradeable smart contracts<br />
* Permission control: flexible permission control system that lets us define permissions on runtime<br />
* Forwarders: standard on how contracts interact with each other <br />
<br />
aragonCLI is a wrapper around truffle to interact with an aragonOS app and that allows to manage permissions and contract versions. <br />
e.g. it provides a nice CLI interface to list and manage contract versions. <br />
<br />
AragonOS and the CLI are very similar to what we are currently doing with kredits-contracts with similar ideas and solutions. <br />
Some of our work was also inspired by code and proposals from Aragaon. <br />
<br />
<br />
Every aragon DAO consists for multiple apps that have different versions. Similar to our registry that points to the different contracts. <br />
An app would be for example the Contributors address book or the Contributions Management. <br />
<br />
Through forwarders these apps can be loosely coupled and for example a static call from a fixed account could later be changed to require a voting through the voting app.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Process ===<br />
<br />
==== Init a new DAO ====<br />
<br />
The CLI allows to create a new DAO and initialize some defaults through DAO-kits. <br />
<br />
$ ''aragon dao new''<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole DAO can then be managed through the ''aragon dao'' command<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Adding a new app ====<br />
<br />
To use an app it first has to be "installed" for the DAO. <br />
Installing basically means creating a new upgradable proxy contract that uses the code from a specific contract at a specific address.<br />
Thus the contract can be upgraded to new versions independently of the proxy contract. <br />
<br />
<br />
''$ aragon dao install''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Upgrading contracts ===<br />
<br />
AragonOS and aragonCLI provide a standard way to manage different version of the contracts/app. They basically also have a proxy contract and point to different implementations. <br />
The CLI provides: <br />
<br />
''aragon apm versions'' and ''aragon apm publish'' to manage new versions of contracts.<br />
<br />
<br />
The contract that is used can be updated through ''aragon dao upgrade''<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Permission control ===<br />
<br />
So far Kredits has used hard-coded permission controls (e.g. a function can only be called from one specific contract address). <br />
The aragon permission ACL lists allow to define controls on runtime. <br />
<br />
* https://hack.aragon.org/docs/acl-intro<br />
<br />
<br />
It is also possible to change permission through a voting contract. <br />
<br />
or through the CLI: ''aragon dao acl''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Aragon Nest ==<br />
<br />
Aragon runs a grant program called [https://aragon.org/project/grants/ Aragon Nest] that supports relevant projects around the DAO, Aragon, Ethereum ecosystem. <br />
This might be interesting for Kredits but also there might be some inspiration among the current projects and proposals: [https://github.com/aragon/nest/issues]</div>

<hr />
<div>Kredits are an experimental bonus system for contributors. They are cryptographic tokens, stored on the Ethereum blockchain, issued and managed via smart contracts.<br />
<br />
Anyone can create an Ethereum wallet via e.g. [https://metamask.io/ metamask.io] and start receiving kredits for contributions of any kind. People can also send their own kredits to each other if and when they like.<br />
<br />
For now kredits are just a fun experiment and gaming element, but the long-term idea is that they can be rewarded with dividends, in case the Kosmos project/org will be in a financial position that allows it to reward everybody contributing to its success. There's also a variety of other possible use cases, like e.g. a public offering via kredit sales. (see [[Crypto Equity]])<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
=== Kredits Contracts ===<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/67P/kredits-contracts/ kredits-contracts] contains the smart contracts, written in Solidity, as well as the generated contract ABI for use with the Web3 JavaScript library (e.g. in kredits-web). It can be linked from other programs via npm.<br />

<br />
== Democratic governance via Kredits ==<br />
<br />
Kredits have the potential to be used for distributed governance of the Kosmos project and organization. The basic idea is that people can vote on decisions with a vote that carries a weight according to their contributions. In short: the people who do should decide. With a limited set of basic rules, this makes for a revolutionary new approach to decentralized open-source governance.<br />
<br />
=== Rules / parameters ===<br />
<br />
# Voting Kredits are only issued for contributions to the project to the person who contributes.<br />
# As soon as the person transfers the Kredits to a different entity, the Kredits lose their votes. This way investors and speculators can never acquire voting rights by just buying someone's Kredits.<br />
# Kredit votes lose weight over time. For example 30% per year. This ensures that people who contributed a lot at a certain time, but then don't contribute for a longer time, cannot influence the project as much as people who are currently contributing/doing. The Kredits still retain their normal value/dividends, but voting weight decreases until the point of having non-voting Kredits after a few years.<br />
# Voting Kredit holders can put decisions to a vote at any point in time. Some reasonable rules have to be established to prevent trolling and resource/time waste.<br />

For now kredits are just a fun experiment and gaming element, but the long-term idea is that they can be rewarded with BTC dividends, in case the Kosmos project/org will be in a financial position that allows it to reward everybody who contributed to its success.

<br />
=== Rules / parameters ===<br />
<br />
# Voting Kredits are only issued for contributions to the project to the person who contributes.<br />
# As soon as the person transfers the Kredits to a different entity, the Kredits lose their votes. This way investors and speculators can never acquire voting rights by just buying someone's Kredits.<br />
# Kredit votes lose weight over time. For example 30% per year. This ensures that people who contributed a lot at a certain time, but then don't contribute for a longer time, cannot influence the project as much as people who are currently contributing/doing. The Kredits still retain their normal value/dividends, but voting weight decreases until the point of having non-voting Kredits after a few years.<br />
# Voting Kredit holders can put decisions to a vote at any point in time. Some reasonable rules have to be established to prevent trolling and resource/time waste.<br />

<br />
The core team consists of a group of people, who have agreed with each other on several things:<br />
<br />
* 67P is sorely needed an we want to use it today/asap/yesterday<br />
* We can imagine this to be commercially successful, and we can see us founding a company for the paid/pro version and potentially working for it at some point (to whatever degree that might be)<br />
* We will take the first step and implement the [[prototype]] MVP as a side project. Most of us will come to Chaos Communication Camp in August 2015, so we'll try to finish the MVP during our time there and then define how to proceed<br />
* All work done until then, and (as far as possible) forever, will be published under open-source licenses. However, we want to protect the project name/ trademark, so that people using the name/trademark commercially need to ask our permission, and so that we can use the name commercially ourselves for the benefit of all contributors (incl. non-partners/employees/shareholders).<br />

<p>Bumi: added link to crypto equity</p>
<hr />
<div>Kredits are an experimental bonus system for contributors. They are cryptographic tokens, stored on the Bitcoin blockchain (using the [http://counterparty.io/ Counterparty] protocol).<br />
<br />
[[Team | Core team members]] have access to a common Counterparty wallet, with which they can send kredits to any contributor. This setup will of course need increased security measures in the future, such as multisig transactions.<br />
<br />
Anyone can create a Counterparty wallet via e.g. [https://counterwallet.io/ counterwallet.io] and start receiving kredits for contributions of any kind. People can also send their own kredits to each other if and when they like.<br />
<br />
For now kredits are just a fun experiment and gaming element, but the long-term idea is that they can be rewarded with BTC dividends, in case the Kosmos project/org will be in a financial position that allows it to reward everybody who contributed to its success. There's also a variety of other possible use cases, like e.g. a public offering via kredit sales. (see [[Crypto Equity]])<br />

== Resources ==<br />
<br />

<p>Bumi: /* Possible platforms / solutions */</p>
<hr />
<div>Recent block chain projects like [http://counterparty.org|counterparty] made it possible for everyone to issue digital tokens/assets based on the (Bitcoin) block chain consensus network. <br />
This provides a whole new range of possibilities: from selling tokens for crowdfunding to describing equity in a token. In the following I've collected some background information on this topic.<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
“A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity”<br />
<br />
So if you think about it, a corporation is a group of people working together under a set of specific rules. From the board of directors to the employed personnel certain contracts are used to enforce these rules. Depending on the size of the company the releationship between the group of people is more or less personal and open. (for example: shares of a publicly traded company can be easily bought and sold on a stock exchange)<br />
<br />
The basic idea behind a decentralized Organization (DO) is to take the set of rules and specify these in code enforced by the/a blochchain. Instead of having a hirachical structure managed by a set of humans controlled by a legal system a DO is decentralized and people are interacting with each other acording to a protocol specified in code with no single authority that enforces these rules.<br />
<br />
Having these rules implemented in code brings a huge amount of flexibility and removes the need of trust that everyone involved follows these the defined rules. (think internationally, with people involved from different juristrictions that do not know each other)<br />
<br />
Even though some of the [http://szabo.best.vwh.net/smart_contracts_idea.html|basic ideas] have beed discussed for years this is a rather new topic and a possible new capability that is emerging from the distributed ledger and consensus technology that Bitcoin introduced. And the rising popularity of Bitcoin allows the implementation of these ideas and a real world usage.<br />
<br />
That said, the implementations are still very much at the beginning and here and there be dragons.<br />
<br />
The following collects ideas and resources on how we could apply ideas of crypo-tokens to KOSMOS.<br />
<br />
== Terminology ==<br />
<br />
* Blockchain: the public ledger that records all (bitcoin) transactions. The decentralized, distributed, unchangeable database of all transactions.<br />
* Smart Contract: computer protocols that facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract. (coined by Nick Szabo probably around 1993)<br />
* Decentralized Organization: a decentralized organization takes the concept of an organization and decentalizes it and uses a protocol specified in code to enforce its rules.<br />
* Decentralized Autonomous Organization: a decentralized network of narrow-AI autonomous agents which perform an output-maximizing production function and which divides its labor into computationally intractable tasks (which it incentivizes humans to do) and tasks which it performs itself. It can be thought of as a corporation run without any human involvement under the control of an incorruptible set of business rules. (Bitcoin is a DAO)<br />
* Digital asset / token / coin: user-created currencies that are stored inside a blockchain.<br />
* Crypto-Equity: a crypto token that represents “equity” in a project or corporation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Goals and Use cases of tokens ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Incentivize and reward participation ===<br />
<br />
The individual ownership of a token that describes some stake in the project is used to incentivize any kind of participation. - from voting for new features to contributing code or providing funds. Because such tokens can be traded on open markets early participation will be rewarded as the application grows in popularity and demand for the limited amount of available tokens.<br />
<br />
=== Provide funding possiblity ===<br />
<br />
While traditional crowd funding campaigns often solely ask for money - sometimes in exchange for unrelated goods like merchandize - the issued tokens can be sold and traded on open markets. The initial sale raises funding for the project.<br />
<br />
=== Coupons for the service/product ===<br />
<br />
Tokens can also be used like a “coupon” for paying for a product or service. These can be easily issued, transferred, traded etc. and can be used as a payment method for a service<br />
<br />
=== Equity / Shares serving as stock of the company (with an legal entity or without an legal entity) ===<br />
<br />
Tokens can be used as a stock of a company which is a legal entitiy. The token thus represents a real-world share of the company.<br />

Instead of having a hirachical structure managed by a set of humans controlled by a legal system a DO is decentralized and people are interacting with each other acording to a protocol specified in code with no single authority that enforces these rules.<br />
<br />
Having these rules implemented in code brings a huge amount of flexibility and removes the need of trust that everyone involved follows these the defined rules. (think internationally, with people involved from different juristrictions that do not know each other)<br />
<br />
Even though some of the [http://szabo.best.vwh.net/smart_contracts_idea.html|basic ideas] have beed discussed for years this is a rather new topic and a possible new capability that is emerging from the distributed ledger and consensus technology that Bitcoin introduced. And the rising popularity of Bitcoin allows the implementation of these ideas and a real world usage.<br />
<br />
That said, the implementations are still very much at the beginning and here and there be dragons.<br />
<br />
The following collects ideas and resources on how we could apply ideas of crypo-tokens to KOSMOS.</div>

<br />
Eventually, we'll likely want to set up a legal entity in a country of our choosing, in order to be able to conduct business in the plain old business environment/bureaucracy set up by the world's nation states.<br />
<br />
Both the general (shareholding etc.) concepts for founding this company, as well as their specific implementation are undecided at the moment, and need some research first. Please add your notes, whenever you find yourself doing a little bit of that research or stumbling upon any facts that might be useful here!<br />

<br />
* Everybody has different levels of time to invest and continuous commitment they can offer. Shareholding should be flexible to accommodate that, both in the beginning as well as continuously later on.<br />
* If possible, it'd be nice to be able to give (esp. early) outside contributors a part of the potential success as well. Possibly through crypto tokens, redeemable as stock options e.g.<br />
* Whatever we come up with should be rather simple and understandable by everyone. If it's not possible for everyone to understand the agreement itself or its technical implementation (concept), then that must be considered a failure.<br />
* [[Funding]] schemes will obviously influence this topic as well<br />
