Bitreich practical ideology follows a basic rule: Keep costs low, keep the fun high! The manifesto implies this. No magic layers of profitability required in corporate thinking are needed here. An audio stream is an audio stream, a text presentation is text you can grep(1). Have no proprietary burden allows easy adaptability. During the COVID-19 pandemics we moved completely online, transformed from day-long tiresome sessions to a split between easy to grasp evening session and practical fun hackathons during the weekend full of culture and fun. Being a timeless community allows us to use topics from far back in history (e.g. early gopherspac) or go full forward and ahead of current industry pace (e.g. llm meme generation filters). Creativity cannot be forced, it is there. There is no need to hire expensive key speakers. Questions for the future: * Will be reach full bitreich automation? No humans required? * Can we control the future teleportation interfaces via gopher? * Who will be the copilot on gopherspace one? Have fun! Sincerely yours, 20h Chief Modem Manager (CMM)
