Hack the Commons at the Commons Hub

We invite you to contribute to a pot of money for organizing "Hack the Commons" at the Commons Hub Brussels, the place that welcomed you during EthCC Brussels for the Regen Village (twitter thread, website).

We plan to organize many of those to get people excited to start building new tools, not for businesses, not for individual consumers, but for communities to help them manage their commons.

All those will be open source and easily forkable for any community managing a common space or resource.

What we built so far

• A live fundraising dashboard

Set your milestones, define your crypto wallet, open collective and giveth, and the dashboard aggregates all those sources along with a QR code to donate.

• A POAP NFC dispenser (video)

What we would love to build in the future

• NFT/NFC gated building
  Enter the Commons Hub with your NFC wallet provided that you have the right NFT on CELO.

• Community Currency for shifts management
  Receive the currency of the Commons Hub for everyone hour that you contribute to the community (cleaning, manage the space, organize or volunteer at events, ...)

• Meeting rooms booking system

• Issue Community Debt (aka WOU, We Owe U)
  The community can't afford market salaries to compensate for the few key roles needed to manage the common. In a startup, people would receive equity. In a common, we ought to at least recognize that collective debt that we have towards the core contributors. This is the goal of a Community Issued Debt, redeemable for goods and services provided by the community.

• Of course open to more ideas that the community will bring.
