BootStrap Camp aims to provide a ecosystem for people wanting access skills and abilities to accelerate the development of their vision, idea or business generally, some of the skills will be from individuals or commercial organisations. The core charter of the approach to be taken is being developed here within the wiki to secure buy in from those that want to participate.  What is summarised here is an initial stab of the charter for people to review on the basis it is always easier to critique than create and I am happy to put a stake in the ground and have people shoot at it.

BootStrap Camp members agree

1. To act with integrity and at all times in their dealings with each other
2. To accept a trust model and peer review and feedback on their outputs and contribution to be publicly available to anyone interested in using their services

6. to secure clarity from any potential client of it services a SMART definition of what a success engagement looks like to ensure that assessment and feedback is based on a tangible prre-agreed output.
