By now we all know the back story of the latest drama in the world of Ethereum and the original chain Ethereum Classic, so lets focus on what's actually being developed.
By now its fairly clear the there is a place for ETC in the marketplace and that people are actually putting their own time behind it.
During the past weeks the Ethereum Classic community has come together to form a structure on how to move the project forward. Below you will find useful resources that you might find interesting if you want to join or contribute to the project yourself.
The New Website
The website has ben updated and states the core principles of the platform. Decentralized. Immutable. Unstoppable.
Transaction Finality
We believe the core value proposition of any blockchain is immutability; valid transactions can never be erased or forgotten. Individuals interacting on Ethereum Classic are governed by this reality; Code is Law.This does not necessarily mean that code replaces existing laws, or that only code is law (there are many geographical jurisdictions), but it gives users the opportunity to enter into a new blockchain-based jurisdiction where agreements are governed by code.
By entering into contracts on Ethereum Classic, you can be certain that the network remains neutral. The outcome of transactions will be dictated by code you voluntarily interact with. Unless explicitly defined by the contract code, there are no reversals, no undos, no opt-outs.
Transactions are final and applications are unstoppable.
Decentralized Governance
There are many problems that fester due to centralization and opaqueness; corruption, unaccountability, nepotism, inefficiency and stagnation. Ultimately, centralization leads to fragility; only decentralized systems can stand the test of time.These problems can be only solved by adhering to governance systems that do not rely on a central point of failure. Just like distributed networks and the consensus protocol itself, we believe that only truly decentralized projects can survive in the long run.
Ethereum Classic manifests these values by relinquishing control by a formalized central foundation. The only hierarchy is that of transparent meritocracy and mutual reputation. No backroom deals or behind-closed-doors unilateral decision making; just free and open discourse.

The Declaration of Independence
Let it be known to the entire world that on July 20th, 2016, at block 1,920,000, we as a community of sovereign individuals stood united by a common vision to continue the original Ethereum blockchain that is truly free from censorship, fraud or third party interference. In realizing that the blockchain represents absolute truth, we stand by it, supporting its immutability and its future. We do not make this declaration lightly, nor without forethought to the consequences of our actions...https://ethereumclassic.github.io/assets/ETC_Declaration_of_Independence.pdf

Volunteering - Help Ethereum Classic to Grow
Ethereum Classic development actively underway by a decentralized community development initiative run by volunteers. It is an open organization where people are judged solely on the quality of their contributions.Are you interested in volunteering your time to help the development of Ethereum Classic? Post in the issues section, tell us about yourself and we will try to help you find a place you can contribute to Ethereum Classic development.
If you are interested in community organizing, you can find more information about volunteering with other community organizers here: https://github.com/ethereumproject/volunteer
