In today's world we have for the most part - a strict separation of production and consumption, which together constitute "the market". The incentive for a market economy is a division of labor. Some are good at organizing, others are good at doing various "jobs". The enterprising spirits who are good at organizing become producers or purveyors of commerce, meaning, distributors of things produced. The less enterprising who yet need some resources to survive contribute by selling their manual or…

I'll be reporting from the regular blog, but I tend to avoid personal recollections in the movement blog, and I think the community setting here is more appropriate for some of the more personal reactions. I'd like to take a jab at why I'm excited at attending this conference, which aims to update the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, 'in light of current social developments."

In the west (and particularly in Europe) we tend to settle for the less-than-inspiring experience: the experience with the product that we cannot configure and use;
the experience with the train service that sells us the long distance ticket on the sardine-packed train with no seat;
and the experience with the institution that takes no extra step to realize the goal in such a way as would benefit everyone: the applicant, the civil servant who's getting paid to perform the job, and the group of…

Dear friends,
A lot of people seem to be joining our Ning network here, and I'm sure each of you has interesting projects and ideas that others may be interested in.
Why not describe them at our blog?
I'm particularly keen on new content to keep our publishing schedule on track, as I will be travelling until May 20 at least!!
Michel

Some of you might be interested in the following conference, which takes place here in Brisbane in June. It might not be immediately obvious from the themes, but much of the conference will be about user-led content creation / p2p production / produsage (as well as questions around the increasing commercial embrace of commons models).
More information, including a tentative list of keynote speakers, is
on the CCi… Continue

... where?
March 2008? After 13 years on the web? After 36 years of online activity in one form or another? (I could say 41 years, if I counted ham radio!)
How about this:
let's go with "something old and something new ..."
I'll let the "something blue" be the tree / blue sky / horizon JPG I just installed as the background on my profile page here. :-)
Something old:

Taken from I. Velikovsky’s ‘Worlds In Collision‘:
‘Here is a story, told by …..the Snohomish tribe on Puget Sound, about the origin of the exclamation “Yahu”. “A long time ago, when all the animals were still human beings, the sky was very low. It was so low that the people could not stand erect… They called a meeting together and discussed how they could raise the sky. But they were at a loss to know how to do so. Not one was strong enough to lift the sky. Finally the idea occurred to them tha…

"I honestly believe that these P2P ideas are moving (have moved) fairly quickly in the right direction."
There are two striking things about this network, the apparent lack of diversity in the members and the advanced and generally less than fully explored/implemented P2P ideas. This is not an indictment or source of shame anymore than having unmet goals for yourself is a source of shame. I would not be aware and hopeful about many collaborations and projects if I had not followed to this P2P n…
