+I am the Founder and the first Technology Evangelist of Factory 4.0 Open Initiative, LLC. (or FourOh-LLC for short), a Linux User Group purposed to be relevant in the  Manufacturing and Warehousing Sectors. The project is being documented at https://welcome.factoryfouroh.net/dokuwiki
-FourOh-LLC is based on the concept of Linux User Groups, with focus on Manufacturing and the Warehouse, and purpose of becoming self-sufficient. The current cost of the technology stack is about 160 USD / year, spent on Domain Registration, VPS rental and backup service fees. Self-sufficient means that when you build and use FourOh-LLC the owner-operator, who is part of the FourOh-LLC network, is able to visit your shop to help with Information Technology and Support (production machines and databases, environmental scrubbing, data collection, factory heat-maps, etc.) The 160.00 USD / year is earned this way. All profit above that maybe used to install additional FourOh-LLC nodes, or taken as profit.

All profit above the 160 USD maybe used to install additional FourOh-LLC nodes, or taken as profit.
 FourOh-LLC operates the same way LUGs did in the past: with local focus, where the participants are able to meet face to face. This also ensures that FourOh-LLC does not grow into corporate-like entities: as soon as you spend more than 160 USD on any instance you are NO LONGER FourOh-LLC but something else. That is, you shall not hire technicians, create server farms, operate a fleet of vehicles - and still call yourself FourOh-LLC. This is to ensure FourOh-LLC remains dedicated to the small or home business owners, affordable to be owned or contracted by anyone.
