At we.glue.earth, our mission is to empower individuals through the principles of Free and Open Software, collective action, and decentralized knowledge. We champion a world where knowledge is democratized, technology is transparent, and everyone can contribute their unique talents. With the Alexandria3000 app, we're setting the groundwork for a democratized collection of all human knowledge, underpinned by open collaboration.
Open software promotes collaboration, ensures transparency, and champions user freedom. Our commitment: all software developed by our cooperative will be released as FOSS, predominantly under the GPL. This ensures our contributions stand as communal assets, fostering innovation and upholding user rights.
At we.glue.earth, we recognize that every individual brings a unique set of skills and perspectives. Here, roles are not confined. Hired for business development but also have a knack for music? We value and can utilize that. Our cooperative structure ensures that everyone's voice is heard. Anyone can propose ideas, and the best ones are championed and benefit everyone.
Work from anywhere, full-time or part-time. Our focus is on effective communication, attending scheduled meetings (online or offline), and meeting shared goals. Discrimination has no place here. Our primary objective is your success, which translates into our collective triumph.
Imagine an AI-powered app that dynamically tailors its guidance to your knowledge level, allowing rapid mastery of various disciplines. From a fifth-grader exploring game design to a tech CEO seeking a high-level overview, Alexandria3000 adjusts. Envisioned as the definitive cognitive model for the entire field of Computer Science and beyond, we're paving the path for the future of reference materials.

-
Democracy in Action: Our cooperative functions democratically. We elect officers, maintain a charter and bylaws, hold meetings, and keep records.
-
Shared Ownership: Each worker owns an equal stake in the cooperative.
-
Hiring and Onboarding: New recruits undergo a contract-to-hire period of 3 months. Following this, all employees vote on permanent hiring.
-
Rewarding Excellence: Employees who add significant value are eligible for bonuses. These are awarded based on collective decision.
-
Supportive Environment: We decide collectively on measures to aid or discipline underperforming peers.
-
Exiting the Cooperative: Should an employee leave, their share will be bought out, ensuring ownership remains with the workers.
Every employee is granted 1,000 points to use in our decision-making system. Proposals are created by employees, and points are allocated to vote on them. Crucially, employees can delegate points—fully or in part—to others, allowing specialized knowledge to play a pivotal role in decision-making.
Join our mission to shape a future where software and knowledge are shared assets for humanity. With us, you have a voice in crafting this world.
