With free permaculture courses, a community garden, recording studio, rehearsal space and much more, Spike is an exemplay example of volunteer community based regeneration. It is an important local resource.
As I browsed the archives of the Strategic P2P list I came across this old thread (from mid-Dec 07) where Michel asked “would it make sense to have a ning-based p2p network”?
As I explain at the end of that thread, I thought Why Not?
Hi Michel,
I think we chose ning because it is simple, free and featureful and
therefore we’ve got nothing to loose.
Ideally it would be open source too (its not, although they do let you
download your source if you want).
I think the biggest reason is: why not?
After all, I’ve already learnt lots more about some of the faces and people
behind the e-mail addressses on these lists, and if we’re all going to work
together to build a p2p world (which we are) then we need to know who each
other are and start building trusting relationships
As you can imagine with such an amazing group of people, there has already been plenty of interesting discussion (more than I can keep up with!) on the forum
