Anna Betz commented on Darren Hill's page Notes from breakout session at Commons Gathering 30/6/12 in the group Productive Commons"This seems a fantastic project with lots of enthusiastic contributors.

May need a separate group to look at all aspects. On the other hand it links with water, energy, land, unemployed, etc."

Janos Abel replied to Darren Hill's discussion Free Knowledge Institutes Strategy - Request for Comments in the group Knowledge Ecosystem Working Group"
I have now had a good look around there. Very interesting. A big point for me is the wiki site they have, where I set up another "home".

Janos Abel replied to Darren Hill's discussion Free Knowledge Institutes Strategy - Request for Comments in the group Knowledge Ecosystem Working Group"Does this concept include building "mental models" as a first stage, then testing working prototypes?
I have in mind a serious utilization of information "stacked up" in books like Capitalism 3.0, Unjust Deserts and earlier…"

Janos Abel replied to Darren Hill's discussion Free Knowledge Institutes Strategy - Request for Comments in the group Knowledge Ecosystem Working Group"The website seems to be unavailable (4th August pm).
The main problem with knowledge is not availability but application. There is enough knowledge to create a possible good world but not enough "builders" to make it happen. How do…"

I'm involved with -
a few community gardens,
a fledgling community land trust,
I have been involved with Open Source Ecology http://opensourceecology.org/
I'm interested in supporting development of CSAs in which the consumers are encouraged to work and be involved in governance.
Also been kicking about ideas for land owning mutuals - as an ethical investment option.

I'm here to exchange information. Take part in the dialogue. My life is presently somewhat transient, I've got few commitments and I am looking for people to collaborate with, the right place(s?) to throw some energy.

Darren, I'm very interested in your experience with the ownership and governance aspect of community gardens, community land trust, Open Source Ecology, and CSAs.
What do you see as the best features and what is lacking in those formation, from a commons perspective?
If you want to help us learning from your experience, why not open a conversation about ownership, trusteeship, and governance.
