The Foundation for Peer to Peer Alternatives

Profile

About Me:: I am currently Managing Director of Virtusoft Pty. Ltd. a marketing focussed software development company working with advanced P2P systems. We have been working on a number of projects related to this field, but for commercial reasons I cannot talk much about them yet. I became involved in the P2P area during study for a Master's degree in 'Commercialization of Science and Technology' from Adelaide University.

I am a former Managing Director with OglivyInteractive (Ogilvy & Mather) in Shanghai China, and Alliance & Innovation Manager with DDB Digital in Sydney. My background spans Advertising, Interactive Media, Music, Film and Video Production and High-Technology Manufacturing experience, serving as General Manager of Australian Holographics for 6 years.

My family was proudly left-wing to the point of being almost 'anti-business'.. This is an ideology I do not share with them, but the unraveling of this unconscious programming that was part of my family culture has been a fascinating journey. ~ Naturally therefore, my mission in life is related to bridging the gap between 'business' and 'egalitarianism'...

I have two children Blake aged 11 years and Chiara 5

That's me in a nut-shell.

How did you come across this network?: I came across 'The Political Economy of Peer Production' essay by Michel Bauwens when researching my Master's Project. That led me to the P2P Foundation site.

If we are to turn the planet around we need the participation of just about everyone – we need a very special ‘Yahu’ (http://gettingclevertogether.com/cooperation/yahu-for-collaborative-intelligence/)
…anyway would like to have you connect to me as a friend on this network and love to make connections for others when I know enough about them to know who to introduce them to. I hope I can do that for you in the future.

Kind regards

Steve J
