[ENGLISH BELOW] Queridos miembros de Ourproject.org: Nos dirigimos a vosotros/as para poneros al día de una nueva forma de colaborar en el crecimiento de nuestra comunidad. Como sabréis, Ourproject ha experimentado un gran crecimiento desde su nacimiento hace diez años, hasta alcanzar en la actualidad un total de 1.079 proyectos, que reciben un total de un millón de visitas mensuales. Sin publicidad y compartiendo su trabajo con licencias libres, siguiendo el espíritu de esta comunidad. El gran crecimiento experimentado requiere que ampliemos la capacidad de soporte de Ourproject y de otros proyectos bajo el paraguas de nuestra asociación sin ánimo de lucro Comunes.org . Por ello, hemos decidido montar junto con otros colectivos con fines similares un Centro de Datos: http://comunes.org/es/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ en el que albergar una mayor cantidad de proyectos de una forma más efectiva, con recursos suficientes para todos. También ha llegado la hora de ofrecer nuevos y más avanzados servicios que llevamos desarrollando desde hace cinco años, como: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc Por desgracia, todo esto supone un cierto desgaste económico para el proyecto. Es más, nos ha llegado el momento de renovar equipos y comprar repuestos de nuestros servidores, que están empezando a dar problemas y muestras de fatiga: http://comunes.org/es/909/help-servers-hardware/ que habréis podido sufrir con caídas de los servicios más frecuentes en los últimos tiempos. Hay que tener también en cuenta que durante estos diez años hemos costeado los gastos a través de nuestras continuas aportaciones personales. Por esta razón, hemos decidido crear una nueva vía de participación y cofinanciación disponible para los miembros de Ourproject. Consiste en aportaciones económicas periódicas, variables y totalmente voluntarias (cada cual en la medida de sus posibilidades para así evitar las cuotas fijas) que nos permitan sufragar estos gastos, de forma que los miembros de Ourproject (y Comunes en general) puedan ayudar a la sostenibilidad del ecosistema común. Para ello hemos habilitado la siguiente página: http://comunes.org/donate/ en la que podréis, si es vuestro deseo, colaborar con cuotas periódicas mensuales. Las aportaciones estarán enteramente destinadas al mantenimiento de los servicios, y mantendremos el espíritu de Ourproject no buscando lucro de ningún tipo, ni introduciendo publicidad alguna. Todos los movimientos económicos hechos con estas aportaciones serán claramente expuestos a la comunidad, de forma transparente, en un lugar destacado de la página. Muchas gracias. Un cordial saludo, El equipo detrás de Ourproject.org y Comunes.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ENGLISH]: Dear members of Ourproject.org: We are contacting you in order to update you on a new way of collaborating in the growth of our community. As you know, Ourproject has lived an extraordinary growth from its birth 10 years ago, as today we already have 1.079 projects which all together receive around a million visits per month. Everything with no ads and sharing their work with free licenses, following the spirit of this community. This growth has required to increase the capacity of the servers and infrastructure of Ourproject and the other projects under the umbrella of our non-profit Comunes.org. In this line, we joined other similar collectives to form a Collective Data Centre, with enough resources for all of us: http://comunes.org/787/building-a-collective-data-centre/ Besides, it’s time to offer new and more advanced services that we have been developing in the last five years, such as: http://kune.ourproject.org http://kune.cc However, this implies a continuous economic effort. Furthermore, the time has come to renew our servers, that have already shown serious signals and issues: http://comunes.org/909/help-servers-hardware/ that you may have suffered, with more frequent problems in the service. We should take into account that during these 10 years we have been assuming the efforts from our personal economic contributions. That is why we have decided to create a new method of participation and co-funding for the old and new members of Ourproject. It consists of regular, variable and fully optional economic contributions (each one to the extent of their capabilities, avoiding fixed quotas), that would allow us to sustain the expenses, so everyone in the community can help sustaining this common ecosystem. Thus, we have prepared a donation page: http://comunes.org/donate/ in which you could, if you want to, collaborate with regular monthly quotas. These contributions will be used just for the maintenance of the servers and infrastructure, and we’ll keep with the spirit of Ourproject and Comunes by not seeking profit in any way, and not placing ads anywhere. Every economic move done with these contributions will be clearly exposed to the community, transparently, in a highlighted part of our pages. Thanks a lot for your support, The team behind Ourproject.org and Comunes.org

draft

I sent this yesterday but the listserver bounced saying I had to many recipients: The problem being that we do not yet know the total of those invovled; and we have not got a way to articulate the loose grouping so far at southampton with the P2P communication channels – Franco: when the bounce reaches you, it might be as well to add the people named to the circuation for this list I also copy in the two people who will be working this the net phase (till 2 september) whie I'm on fieldwork: Prof sally Jane Norman and Dr Lorraine Warren I paste the original message and the list f recipients: I sent it at 4.00pm BST; only three comments retrned so far, all supportive ; we have also got a lot of local partners some listed who have now sent support messages, important fpr our tatctical presentation Sean +++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Colleagues The team asked me to to a first draft of the EoI I am delighted to acknowledge the generous help of Prof Sally Jane Norman from Sussex who has come aboard and been a rock I've also taken the liberty of contacting more potential partners. Unfoprtunately everyone else is at the beach - which is why the wild-eyed trot got the job of drafting this Absolutely the first draft. I've left space for additions, and of course we will have to rewrite as a group I may have put in too much detail on personnel; ad we may need it for a more strategic expression in the section on Partnership; colleagues will also I trust have theior own drums to beat as to 'orograms of work' - I think the model may be good; and I hope that we reflect the originality of he proposal By the way Prof Ian Hargreaves has agreed to come and give a talk at Winchester in the autumn term; we are just negotiating dates with lawrence Lessig to arrange a dialogue between them. Unfortunately we are not able to make their dates coincide with Michel bauwens visit here in december, but a ball will be very truly rolling by then Technicalities: I leave to walk the Pilgrim's Way on Thirsday morning and will have little or no e-mail access. Lorraine Warren <L.Warren(a)soton.ac.uk<mailto:[email protected]>> kindly offered to pick up the baton during my absence - I shoud be available on the 2nd of September I had thought of posting on the P2P wiki or to Google Docs for editing but with so many hands, I'm not sure whether that is the best way: recommendations would be excellent With thanks ] Sean Matthews N.S. <N.S.Matthews(a)soton.ac.uk>; Appleby K.M. <K.M.Appleby(a)soton.ac.uk>; Beales R.M. <richard.beales(a)soton.ac.uk>; Brailsford S.C. <S.C.Brailsford(a)soton.ac.uk>; Butler P. <P.Butler(a)soton.ac.uk>; Earl G.P. <graeme.earl(a)soton.ac.uk>; Foster S.A. <S.A.Foster(a)soton.ac.uk>; Harris L.J. <L.J.Harris(a)soton.ac.uk>; Kling G. <G.Kling(a)soton.ac.uk>; Moreau L. <lavm(a)soton.ac.uk>; Parikka J. <J.Parikka(a)soton.ac.uk>; Price N. <N.Price(a)soton.ac.uk>; Reynolds N. <N.Reynolds(a)soton.ac.uk>; Saxby S.J. <S.J.Saxby(a)soton.ac.uk>; Warren L. <L.Warren(a)soton.ac.uk>; Woolley D. <D.Woolley(a)soton.ac.uk>; Nazzini R. <R.Nazzini(a)soton.ac.uk>; Hannigan B.M. <B.M.Hannigan(a)soton.ac.uk>; Reid E.S. <E.S.REID(a)soton.ac.uk>; White W.H. <whw(a)soton.ac.uk>; Sally-Jane Norman <S.J.Norman(a)sussex.ac.uk>
