A commons takes a community.
Serai is built in the open, and it only works if the people it serves build it together — hoteliers, integrators, vendors, and the institutions that teach the industry. Here’s the room, and how to take a seat in it.
Three seats at one table.
For hoteliers
Shape the model your stack will speak, adopt at your own pace, and get first-cohort access to a deployment. The layer keeps your data yours — reachable through one feed, never held hostage in a hub.
For integrators
Certify to deploy and service the core, and build commercial products on top of it — that’s the business model, not a loophole. As adoption grows, referrals route to certified integrators.
For vendors
Build one connector pair to the shared model instead of a bespoke integration per partner. Every new integration partner becomes free, and “Serai Certified” becomes a mark your sales team leads with.
The Charter Member Program.
A founding cohort is forming — the first operators, institutions, integrators, and vendors on record behind the standard, and first in line as procurement changes. Seats are limited and set by track.
Hotel groups co-drafting the procurement language the industry will cite.
Schools and associations that teach and endorse the standard.
Deployment partners certified to stand up and support the core.
One founding seat per system category — first certified, first cleared.
Progress, reported honestly.
A bi-weekly project update — what shipped, what didn’t, plainly stated.
