We are The Houston Open Source Society - The HOSS.

* The HOSS will be a vibrant unincorporated collective of hackers, programmers, open-source enthusiasts, and passionate users. The HOSS does not demand assimilation: that’s Borg stuff, and they’re two doors down.
* The HOSS is committed to remaining a flat organization without hierarchy. There will be neither waterboarding, nor Board of Directoring. There will be no President. We are all The HOSS: we are all organizers, members, and volunteers. We are all enforcers of our glorious order. The only boards allowed are keyboards, motherboards, and breadboards.
* The HOSS is committed to existing without fees, profit-and-loss statements, accountants, and treasurers. There is no 501(c)(3) incorporation. No money will ever exchange hands. The HOSS can not be bought. If a little money goes a long way: we’ll take shoes.
* The HOSS will resolve all disputes, decisions, and drama democratically.
* The HOSS will resist the ability for one person to monopolize time. We will agree upon a criteria for lightning talks, and classes.

Society outside The HOSS is not egalitarian. We are. We are The HOSS.
