Janos Abel is attending George Por's eventBecoming Catalysts for a Radical Social Movement in 2013 at SOAS
April 25, 2013 all day
We would like to invite you to participate in an Assembly on Thursday 25th April from 7-9pm, at SOAS (main campus, room G50, please sign in at security and go through the gates) to discuss the potential of building an open broad based London solidarity network, and what this network might look like. We are an open group formed by individuals who have been involved in Occupy, IOPS and ACI. We have been holding cross-movement assemblies every month since January entitled "Becoming Catalysts for a…See More

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?

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…"
Janos Abel commented on Anna Harris's blog post UK Food Sovereignty"Indeed, if we just did what the word means and "listen to them...", we would have a "child centered" curriculum and it probably would not be "national"---i.e. one size fits all 12 million people under age of 15.

Darren Hill replied to Janos Abel's discussion minifunding seed projects in the group Productive Commons"Hello Anna,
I think that by producing the things that we need (food is something everyone needs - so may well be a good place to start) within commons we create major changes both within ourselves, within our communities and within our…"
Anna Betz replied to Janos Abel's discussion minifunding seed projects in the group Productive Commons"Hi Darren, I really appreciate your contribution. Did you you mean that when we intentionally build what we need for our livelihood and wellbeing and put our resources together, then it will not just be a project we would like to be involved in but…"
Darren Hill replied to Janos Abel's discussion minifunding seed projects in the group Productive Commons"Yes funding is an issue.

Janos Abel added a discussion to the group Productive Commons
minifunding seed projects
The reason for starting this discussion comes from personal experiences in group projects over a period of time (i.e. on and off since the 1960s). One of the themes that emerged consistently in these experiences relates to how groups address the question of resources when it comes to funding the projects which they they want to initiate.This thread is relevant to three of the bullet points in Darren's summary of our breakout session.So much for introduction. I stop here, not knowing how much…See More
Janos Abel commented on Darren Hill's group Productive Commons"I think we should use the notes from the breakout session as a source for starting discussion pages. This way we can draw on the experiences that prompted our contributions."

Notes on "...the immediate task"
Posted on May 31, 2012 at 19:00 0 Comments 0 Likes
One of the topics in the forum of Knowledge Ecosystem Working Group is Organizing ourselves for the immediate task.
That immediate task, as stated by George Pór, is to organize ourselves for meeting the needs of commoners who attended the Quilligan Seminars, and those who didn't (in…

Bring my burning questions fired with the "fierce urgency of now"
Self organizing and emergence is not real without
- a basic income paying people to be creative. An adequate basic income for all is not possible without
- the socialized benefits of two fundamental monopolies: 1) land and other natural resources; 2) the money supply of the nation.
The principle prompting this awareness is "First Things First"
If individuals are creative in order…
