Benefits and The Revision Process

Revision Process​

Any changes to this document must be applied through GitHub pull requests. Each pull request must be approved by Sam and the president of Computerization to be merged into master. To maintain a clean commit history, it should be merged into master by 'squash and merge'. This policy should be strictly enforced by GitHub’s branch protection feature. Commits in the pull request must be signed (having a green Verified badge in commit page) and its author must have GitHub 2-factor authentication enabled to have legal effect.

Once this agreement is finalized, Sam does not have the right to unilaterally end the sponsorship, unless under extreme circumstances. However, Computerization has the right to end this sponsorship at any time and Sam has the ultimate right to interpret this document in any reasonable way.

This agreement must be manually renewed each year, while Sam is not at work.

Benefits List​

Note:

  • All benefits in this section should be considered independently.
  • The funds are not available during Sam’s internship. As mitigation, more funds will be provided prior to Sam’s internship.

General Responsibilities​

Sam must be informed about how these funds are being used. To avoid abuse of the fund of club leaders, every member should be informed about the existence of this sponsorship, and members have the right to question the usage of the fund and ways to anonymously report to Sam about concerns without concerns of retaliation.

There will likely be unused budgets at the end of the academic year. The remaining money must be securely transferred to the next Computerization leader.

Blanket Fund​

As long as Computerization follows the basic terms, it will receive $200 with no other conditions attached.

Prioritized Referrals​

Sam will try to offer tech company referral opportunities to all Computerization members with high priority. However, members are not guaranteed this opportunity. Sam will try to assess resumes of members to give feedback. However, feedback is not guaranteed to help you improve your chances of entering any tech company since Sam is not an expert on this matter.

Unlike other benefits, this benefit is always active and will remain active in the foreseeable future.

Technical Consulting​

Feel free to ask Sam about technical decisions while he is not doing his internship. Sam is committed to answer any questions at least once a week. However, it's not guaranteed that Sam's advice will be applicable to Computerization.

Personal Website Cost Reimbursement​

All members of Computerization, past or present, will receive full reimbursement of their personal websites cost until the end of their college freshmen year, given that the following requirements are satisfied:

  1. The personal website must be open sourced on GitHub with one of the licenses listed on the Choose A License website.
  2. The personal website must be relatively complete. For example, a website that only contains 'Hello world!' is not considered as complete.
  3. The personal website backend must not run crazily expensive computations (e.g. mining cryptocurrencies).
  4. The personal website must be deployed on machines with reasonable hardware capacity. For example, a single-page static website deployed to 96-core CPU, 1TB memory and 256TB SSD will not be considered as reasonable.

Development/Deployment Cost Reimbursement​

All allowed items in APPROVED_REIMBURSEMENT_LIST.md will be fully reimbursed. However, Computerization members must make some faithful attempt to minimize the cost.
