Michel Bauwens's Comments

Hi

My work is in its early stages. it is about how abundance can help bring about sustainability and, if used well, can make a huge difference to world poverty. It places great emphasis on the coming convergence of thre m new technologies nano and bio alongsid AI. I think it very important to show convincingly that post scarcity does not only apply to digital goods and services but also to intangibles. I will respond at length when I have more to say. Regards. Would love to meet up if you ever come to London

welcome aboard Christian! >>
Merci Michel de me permettre d'être à bord ! mais si parfois certains ont le mal de mer sur un bateau, j'ai malheureusement le mal d'anglais...et j'ai un mal fou pour pouvoir surfer sur cette langue ! je lis mais je participe peu...
Quelles sont donc les avancées du P2P ? y a-t-il un meilleur agencement du partage qui mériterait un bouleversement du média ? Ce sont les deux questions que je me pose. Tu dois certainement avoir des directions à ce sujet...Merci pour tes éclairages.
A bientôt
Christian

Dear Michel, it has taken some time... The book has just been published and the title (translated) is 'Professional Pride: Un Unsuspected Force'. See English summary attached. And for the cover see http://www.uitgeverijboom.nl/catalogus/fondsen/algemeen/beroepstrots_9789085066767.html

Thank for your greetings. I am nowadays very much interested in p2p political economy. I found several articles written by you and finally have been drifted to this nice place. It's nice to share the ideas and information about digital piracy. The war between the representative of capitalists and digital pirates has begun here in Korea. Korean government declared new intellectual property law which threat the users not to remix and upload the copyright contents. When a user uploads copyright contents more than 3 times his ID would be banned compulsorily by the authority. How stupid ideas they have! But I believe 'dead labor' would not win over 'live activity' of the cleaver pirates.

Thanks Michel
I'm very interest to share our experience and to learn more about the p2p F works. We keep in contact

Hola Michael! Uruguay has various promising aspects, that I have yet to understand. Many organizations that bear the name "cooperative"... especially for organizing resources of the significant poorer population. Part of its past includes a significant import of French variants of collectivisms (19th) and many Italian anarchists (early XX as well as later "cultura operaia"). The implementation of OLPC (1 laptop / child), called "Plan CEIBAL", is the most successful in the world; will definitely try to look into that. I expect to find a higher degree of collaborative-minded activities in the "South" than the "North" (stereotype?), and... we'll see what comes out :) I believe open/p2p/network concepts are here to stay... but in what form? at what price? This world is interesting :) Hugs to all from Montevideo!

I understand. Josef was able to give me a brief but informative explanation. Thank you for your addition.

Thanks.
I'm very interested to share my experience with development and adoption of academic p2p networks. I hope to have feedback from the community to help me understand some strange results.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I enjoyed your talk very much - perhaps we'll have a chance to exchange ideas here and on iDC

If that means it is raising awareness of the work being done by the P2P Foundation, then I am glad.

Yes he is real, but marcos no. All stuf that cotains the word "viagra", no.
Thanks

HI Michel:
Hope you are well. I believe spams have found their way to P2P foundation too. Like the one I have just gotten from "lucydavid"..
Is there a way to send them away?

Thanks so much;
Vida

yes Vida, just seen it, I was on the road so behind in my spam checking ... I need to ban them, upon which their articles are deleted,

Michel

Thank you Michael

Im not sure what happens next here,

Hi Michel
Great to here this.
If you would like to visit Chile we might be able to help.
What would you have in mind and is there any budget?

I know people in Buenos Aires and Cordova.
