W7 Constitution¶
Version: 1.1.0
Status: Active
Owner: Rafael da Silva Guerra
Purpose¶
This Constitution defines the enduring principles every W7 initiative inherits and the questions that govern significant decisions across the ecosystem.
Context¶
Products, technologies and organizational forms change more quickly than the principles behind them. W7 needs one stable foundation so its initiatives can evolve independently without losing the purpose that makes them part of the same ecosystem.
Preamble¶
W7 exists to create meaningful initiatives that help people learn, build and evolve.
Knowledge becomes more valuable when it is organized.
Technology becomes more valuable when it empowers people.
Ideas become more valuable when they are shared.
This Constitution defines the enduring principles that guide every initiative created within W7.
Products may evolve.
Technologies may change.
The philosophy remains.

Its legal structure may change.
