Hi Josef, I'm interested in the concepts of identity, privacy and trust in a decentralised environments.
I like aliases, anonymity and privacy, and dislike the idea of becoming a static 60x60 gif image with a "real name", and unique (inter)national ID tracked at every interface.
fuckin hell josef this is BRILLIANT! Who developed this?
plus, i need to be able to create databases to get past my latest stall/brickwall on www.rub.fm, got an account with one.com but they only give you one database, learning SQL and PHP, got the ideas and ready to smash it
anyway i can do this for free? really don't want to have to get my bank account back... can pay you with unlimited free gigs? (you know i'll always play for free for you anyway)
Hello Josef,
Thanks for welcoming me into this social network. I hope I can make some valuable contributions regarding the collective creation of new knowledge through P2P dynamics, which is what interest me most currently.
Aye thats me in the middle circa 1993. Standing is Travis who cut his finger, we grew up in the same neighborhood in Oklahoma and found ourselves on a Navy ship together in the same division. Kneeling is Donald aka Jojo, after the Navy he went back to Cleveland and became a Sheriff's deputy. Thanks for the welcome and all your efforts/celebration.
The names and ideas are very big here and the risk of saying or doing something stupid seems high right now. I honestly believe that these P2P ideas are moving (have moved) fairly quickly in the right direction.
thx for the welcome. good idea to use the ning platform!
some things just need to be said: congrats and a huge thx to Michel and the others actively involved for getting all p2p theorists together! very valuable work indeed!
im following the oekonux mailings and the P2P newsfeed is also very informative too. id really like to comment on a couple of things, but right now all my focus is on getting companies involved for sponsorship of the profun games. once this has happened (and this might take a while), ill pay more attention on the theoretical side again and write some - more or less - useful comments. :)
but since you asked about online collective decision making, ive uploaded some (partially outdated) info on the VN goverance tools @ http://www.vodes.net/rev/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,61//Itemid,84/
it includes info on team beta tester, an example how prices are set and wealth is distributed in a collective, effective and democratic manner on vodes.net - aka important economic decisions)
i guess its safe to say that members of the P2P network/foundation qualify (skill- and attitudewise) for membership of IF-o (supervisory board of VN). if there is someone interested...you're welcome to drop me a line.
Can't wait to see what money systems you'll put into place, Josef!
'Social business' a la Muhammad Yunus (Grameen bank founder) has become my model after I've been round the analysis of 'monetary reform' as well as grassroots bottom up 'local exchange trading systems' and professional barter.
Trading should also be possible via cellphones, of course...
More power to your coding elbows!

Hi Josef,
I'm experimenting with streaming video out of a mobile phone to a server or a mobile phone. I'm interested in how one can distribute video using p2p technologies and also whether doing so is feasible.
The front end at Groundcrew/Viewer will be open source when we launch. All of that Javascript will be released on GitHub so people can improve it and add features. Probably under the AGPL.
The back-end API will be well-documented, but since it's value is as a central database of people's availability (much like, say, twitter or technorati), our implementation won't be open, at least until we have a large number of users.
At some point we'd like to migrate the backend to a kind of P2P structure of nodes and aggregators. That would be open source, and then we won't need central servers at all, and there will be no closed source part of the system.
Ha-ha, Josef, - the unashamed natural hierarchy elitist - born of course from the twisted british sense of humour, merely recognises that people find themselves at different stages of development at different stages of life - and in relation to each other. We're not talking power-hierarchies (and the 'elitist' bit is tongue-in-cheek) but relative degrees of awakeness, complexity, maturity, what have you. Operating as I do in a conventional hierarchy, I have learned to make this distinction the hard way. :-) There are many intractable social problems which I feel would be solved if some developmental thinking were introduced into the dominant social discourse...
I trust this doesn't sound too nasty?
Hi Josef,
I really apologize for not filling my profile. Its purely due to lack of time these days. Briefly, to introduce myself, I am a physician and medical geneticist, practicing P2P principles through my scientific work. I have reached conclusions very similar to Michels' (this is the reason I had little hesitation to join P2P foundation).Therefore I am interested in implications of modern genetics to society and the political implementation of P2P theory. More ... (I promise the forthcoming days to fill my profile)
Thanks for the warm welcome :-) Life is good here in lil ole New Zealand, and I'm very interested in developing p2p ideas and utilising web 2.0 technologies in govt here.Peope are pretty open to these ideas and we are making some good progress. I was at a seminar with Michel in Sydney recently and that opened my eyes to the vast amount of info available to assist us all in growing and spreading this p2p philosophy.
Your 'Oil companies to buy the world!' post is interesting. Your discoveries in Paris, unfortunately, do not surprise me.
You can read a recent summary of the biofuel boom, as I understand it, at http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5685&page=2 my post on 9/4/2008 currently near the bottom of the page.
If you've not seen it there is lots of interesting (worrying) info about biofuels at http://www.biofuelwatch.org/
I found your site from one of your emails to the TLIO mail list.
Hello friends,
I have created "SAVE THE HIMALAYAS" a social group on ning.
If you love the mountains, please do join in. Much is happening in the Himalayas that is slowly destroying its fragile ecosystem.
We have much stake in these mountains; these awesome beauties protect us, ensure our survival.
The ning forum is for concerned individuals, writers, thinkers, influencers and faciliatators. The added attraction I am offering is rural tourism. Should any one of you wish to spend some time in remote Himalayan village with local people and share their food, culture, way of life, I promise you I'll arrange it free of cost, at my leisure, put you directly in touch with folks up there.
We are also creating another discussion forum, as a sort of integrative forum for diverse groups of activists fighting the corporations in their respective local areas.
Will keep you all posted on our activities.
Best regards
Arun
thanks ...there are about 5 of us teaching-learning via prout college ...all just beginning ...teaching-learning on-line was a bit of challenge though we did try every way to enrich it ...
thanks

Josef, despite being one of the first few people who "designed the graphical internet" independently in the decade before it became technically deliverable, I have only established placeholder accounts in most of the social networking bubbles. My very few "friends" are people I knew well long before getting into those places. None of that means I'm not interested in relevant conversation and my interests are even wider than those revealed in my memes page or my blog preplacement TransForum.
