Monetize the Enterprise
We are sussing out viable opportunities to Monetize the Enterprise to fund the resources needed, as in people, to perpetuate the development & growth of GoE beyond Original PiGer works & life timelines. GoE Developers will be GoE Members motivated, actually driven, to learn the 'skills'... with full support & training from the GoE Developer group.
Monetization revenue will be used to remunerate the GoE Development team needed to operate, maintain and develop GoE Affinity Domains. Developers will be paid as independent contractors, strictly following ALL legal guidelines & requirements. As such, GoE Developers will need to select the best 'business entity' for payment, tax filings & reporting.
