# How We Work
# Ideals
We share very strong ideals among us
- We want effective change in how civil society organizes itself
- Decentralization is the way to change, but we're aware that its a bumpy and long road, and taking straight paths is sometimes needed
- Transparency above anything
- Trust before hierarchies
- We believe in an open-source approach to creation
- We don't sell, nor over-promise. Instead, we communicate things as we see them, including pros and cons
# Balance
We strive for a sustainable work-life balance
- We encourage the use of working hours to learn things related to our work and our collective mission.
- We encourage a balanced lifestyle and we suggest a daily average of 7 working hours
- We adapt to everyone's needs and motivations
# Coordination
- We are fully autonomous and responsible individuals. Therefore nobody mandates days, schedules, or hours that you work
- We don't like official processes, but we're not afraid when they are needed
- We are a fully remote team. We have a bi-monthly retreat for team building
# Development practices
- Open-source everything
