Bruce has an idea here,

We can always add more too each host.
Depending if we have funds or not,
Also this number would really do very little to each hosts Electrical bill.

4 hosts off the start might be a little harder to organize logistically.
But I don't see why we couldn't pull it off.

So what does everyone else thing about going 2x2 (2 hosts x 2 blades each)?

Splitting up between the four makes sense. I thought somewhere in one of these threads we where leaning towards starting with two, 2 blade systems just to get off the ground.

May be we should:

1) Get the Board and/or Agreement set.
2) Get a list of the available parts, and
C) Figure out how far the parts will spread out between 2 or 4 hosts and what parts we will have to buy in order to get the minimum number of crunchers going.

Feel free to adjust the above as needed, I'm just throwing it out there.

I wish I had more time to spend online helping the team through forum interaction - but, it just doesn't work out that way. If I could donate some electricity and some offline time to the team, that would be great.

However, I'm also willing to give someone else a shot at it if they're really eager to do it.

Eight total seems like plenty to me. I wouldn't want to set our goals too high to begin with. Depending on the amount and quality of donated parts we come up with, we're probably looking at at least $1000 to put together 8 systems. I believe we can pull it off, but let's get that accomplished before we shoot higher.

Chip we can easily do that,

What we can also do is keep each host from being overwhelmed is too keeping it rather small.

Maybe 4 blades each,
I see many good things in doing this.
For one it will keep costs down for the host when it comes to electricity.
Then there is the set up and maintenance issue.
And 4 blades too me seems like it would be easier to handle then say 6 or 11.....

Also by starting with 4, we can always upgrade and add more boards to the host.

If the host feels that 4 are enough we have several other hosts that might feel that they can manage more then that.

And on that note, I would really like to hear from the people that have offered to host there opinions on this.

It sounds like the initial four hosts will be part of the board. Since we are only starting with two, we can either put it to a vote as to which two start, or have them discuss it with each other to figure our which two are in the best position to go first.

Although maybe we should set the board and the details before we decide who goes first...

A nine member board sounds reasonable. On two boards that I have served on, the board members elected three positions;

Chairperson - One person needs to run the meeting otherwise you get chaos.
Treasurer - Especially if the project will be collecting funds
Secretary - Someone must maintain meeting minutes and preserve and store any other documentation of the project.


With this in mind and with those titles and job responsibilities.
Do we have any takers to do them?

If so, please state why you would be good at doing that particular job.
The reason I say this is if we have more then one member wanting this position we can always have a poll and choose as a team which person we feel is best suited to fill these important rolls.

By the way, I mentioned earlier I would do some research on what those positions that Mark mentioned earlier.
This is from an old post from Seti and what they came up with.
Maybe we can use some of this same stuff for ‘Project Hope’
Please share your thoughts on this.

I don't mean to say anyone will want their individual parts back, just that the host will have a machine that belongs to the team. If a host can no longer host the project, then the machine will need to go to the next host/team member.
While TD is a group of caring and trusting people, having a board keeping track of business, or an agreement at the beginning is important to avoid problems in the future.

The key word is donating. When you donate, you give willingly. It is like giving goodwill your clothes, you don't expect to see them once a month or get them back later. Same goes with these parts. While I would LIKE to see the results of our crunching, I am not going to expect to get the parts or money back. If everyone here is anticipating that, then there are going to be problems later.

I don't know if having a board is necessary personally. If someone is taking donations for parts, then I really am not going to expect much in return other than seeing it run. A donation is just that, a donation. It isn't like we are investing in the stock market where there is some return at the end. This return we are getting back is just results on a cruncher.

I think it's very important to have structure, a line of command for this. Otherwise, it can become chaotic & can cause more problems than it will solve. Titles may not be necessary as long as there is a line of command so to speak.

And I believe that many members over at Seti had the same concerns when we first started.

The fact that a board will be set up does not, by no means, mean that anyone will have any less say.

It will just help organize things and make theme go much smoother.
Someone to collect money and parts.
Somebody else to organize everything and so on.

What we decided way back at Seti to prevent one member or the board of having too much power is that all members that contributed to the project had equal say.
Hence your vote would be just as valuable as the Presidents per say :D

It also eliminated many people that would voice there opinions but really had no intentions of promoting the project.

I know that we have more then one member on this team that is also on the Crunchenstein board of members.
And that might be something that we might want look into, when this finally gets rolling.

Hopefully this made some sense :D

Certainly understand about the mild objection to the titles. Something generic can be used, such as Advisor Position 1 - 9 or some such.

Trying to think clearly now but I keep thinking in Oracle database terms. OFA, OMF, Segments, Blocks sizes, v$ blah blah blah.

suggest ROUGHLY defining positions before volunteers??

eg:
Pres
VP
Sec
Treasurer
Tech officer
Hoster 1
Hoster 2
Hoster 3
Hoster 4

just my suggestion.

How do we want to choose the Board of Directors?

How many Board members? I think 9 would be good. 4 hosts and 5 TD members (By default I think the hosts should automatically become board members)

Personally, I think we should first ask for volunteers and if we have too many we can always call a vote to cut the number down if necessary.

Should we open the floor for volunteers?
