|  [FP]-SPLIT- I'm interested!
Hello foldinator people, I would like to join your team. I understand I need to make a donation, either cash or hardware and I can do both. Most of all I have lots of space in my 2 car garage and a broadband connection where I wish to start a blade farm. Currently I have 5 PCs runnig FAH.I can purchase 5 more motherboard/cpus for starters. I already have my whole house wired cat5.
If you people are interested please give me a buzz.

Sounds like you may be a candidate for owner/operator status. We have one other person currently doing that, so that may be an option!

First off, thanks for posting. I asked sorto to split your post out to a new thread because ... 1) I want to welcome you and yes you can join FP for a small donation. and 2) you asked a question worthy of dialog among our membership.
I would like to hear from FP members on this notion of owner/operator. fcapes set a new precedent and I tweaked the AOA (update in progress) to allow for him alone. If you join ... I think we may have to form a second "category" of owner/operators. Growth and change are things we will do based on our members input. So I appreciate your post, I hope you will join and we want to hear from the members on forming a new category. Thanks!

I think if a person wishes to purchase a small farm with the intent to run under foldinator for one year we could cover shipping chargers to that user from the vendor... I personally don't think it a bad idea. Great use of 100.00 if you ask me...

Just some Food-For-Thought:
If we create an "owner/operator" category, do we need a "lessee/operator" category for those who use FP owned systems"? I would think we would need to differentiate between the two in the AOA. And we would need to document, somewhere, who is in what category, but not in the AOA.
Since operators for FP systems are decided by a vote of the membership, does this apply to both owner and lessee operators? And are they voted on yearly as asked by RPM Jack »[FP] Articles of Association - Your Ideas Please ?
And, do we need all operators to be on the board of directors and remain so during the time they actively operate a Foldinator system? As rfhar asked why they are even on the board »[FP] Articles of Association - Your Ideas Please .

We do need two categories. I would label the categories "Project Operator" and "Owner Operator". I would call the individuals just "Operators" with no differentiation in their title or role. All operators must be ready to donate their time and money to build, configure, host and administer their Foldy. All Operators must commit to 1) run their Foldy to be best of their ability and 2) to work together with other Operators, the board and members of FP on issues and work items (ie Stats) the pertain to the overall project.

Yes, I think *all* operators should be elected yearly. The expectation should be for Operators that are good team members and run their Foldy to the best of their ability, they will be re-elected. It is also a way for them to pass on their Foldy responsibility if they can no longer (for whatever reason) run the Foldy for another year.

As I have said many times ... I believe the Operators are the most important people on the project. We trust them and expect them to run their system and drive towards our goals. I think there needs to be an Operator voice on the board.
I propose the following: After the annual elections of board officers and Operators. The Operators would select one of them to serve on the board. That way the pool of Operators has a chosen voice on the board.

Now that sounds good GarG. I had similar thoughts and you hit it on the head.

I don't think Owner operators should have to be voted on by the whole FP. I think it would be better if the board decides this because of the low monies having to be put out.
I mean if someone want to spend 800.00 of their money and want to run it under TH then I think we should let them....
As for grouping the operators into one voice, Sure I do not have a problem with it. But what happens in the future when a problem arises? Do we just not count the operators votes and leave it up to the main body of the FP to decide? If this is the case then why have the operators on the board at all? Regardless to the point of an operator being on the board, I feel the board will listen to them anyway.

It would be nice to have just one operator be the voice of all the operators, but I don't think it is practical.
Considering there is two different kinds of ops and also just about everything we do affects the operators, I think they should each have their own voice on the board.
