---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Simona Levi <info(a)conservas.tk> Date: Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 2:32 AM Subject: [fcforum] This week: oXcars and FCForum 2011. To: fcforum(a)list.fcforum.net, fcforum_info(a)list.fcforum.net, fcforum_discussion(a)list.fcforum.net, communia-associates(a)lists.communia-association.org, labofii(a)lists.riseup.net, lista net time <nettime-l(a)kein.org> 27 to 29 of October 2011 - Barcelona* Oxcars and FreeCultureForum 2011 Networks for a R-evolution **Three days to think about what the Internet has done for us, and what we can now do for it ;-).* http://whois--x.net/english/oxcars-and-freecultureforum-2011 2011 is the year when the consciousness of a global network has emerged. The massive and strategic use of social and digital networks has allowed the movement of citizen empowerment to step up a notch, and has facilitated a viral uprising of civil society in many parts of the world. The struggles to defend the Internet have shown to be a fertile breeding ground for such uprisings. The #15M movement within the *#spanishrevolution* is organized online. By the same token, one of its biggest strengths is the feedback process that happens between the network and the streets, between the internet and the men and women gathering in streets and squares. *We have to continue promoting, facilitating and improving the efficient use of the Internet to achieve mobilization and direct participation.* During the previous edition of the FCForum it was already discussed that the intense struggles by civil society within the Spanish state to defend the Internet against the Sinde Law (a law to stop downloading) were the starting point for a larger action. *For 3 years now, the OXCARS and the FCForum*, held in Barcelona, have provided international meeting spaces in which to build and coordinate common tools for issues regarding free culture and the Internet. The FCForum gathers the main organizations and active voices that are working on such issues, while it is also an open space for all those who wish to understand, deepen and participate in the responses before the pressing challenges that face our connected societies. This year, the FCForum will focus, inevitably, on the experience of the 15M movement as a case study that can be exported to the global arena. *The intention of the FCForum 2011 is for all participants to analyze and build the best tools that the struggle needs at this point, both for its organization and for the impact it aims to have here in Spain, as case of study to be applied more globally.* * Some of the questions that we will discuss this year are:* Which tools and methods of online organization and communication have allowed the emergence of the #15M movement? How can these practices be improved? How have social networks facilitated a change in the respect shown between people from different groups? What dangers threaten the neutral, open Internet which we know and want to preserve, at the local and global levels? How has the Internet facilitated the creation of new ways of producing and spreading culture? How can some of those methods become a way to avoid artists being used as an excuse to privatize the Web? What should we do with SGAE (the main management organization in Spain) now that its directives have been taken to court ;-)? *This gathering of 2 days will be preceded, as always, by the OXCARS, the biggest free culture event of all time. A great celebration of free culture that will serve as a warm-up event.* We believe it will be a very useful space for the empowerment of the movement. We welcome and await you all. This year we will be helped along in our discussions, amongst many others, by John Perry Barlow, who in 1996 lit the spark with his ‘declaration of independence in ciberspace’, Alex de la Iglesia, who stepped down from his post as Director of the Film Academy in protest against the Sinde law, as well as many of the hackers and people who have created tools to assist the actions of the 15M movement, such as the network N-1.cc. *Three days to think about what the Internet has done for us, and what we can now do for it ;-).* Location Thursday 27th October, 20.30 Oxcars Sala Apolo - Barcelona Friday 28th and Saturday 29th from 11h to 21h at the Rambla in front of Santa Monica and at Santa Monica, Drassanes metro stop * Site: http://www.2011.fcforum.net/ Program: http://www.2011.fcforum.net/topics/ **English translation will be provide. * Please, help to disseminate the info. http://oxcars11.whois--x.net/en/ http://whois--x.net/english/the-oxcars http://whois--x.net/english http://2011.fcforum.net http://fcforum.net http://www.facebook.com/LaEXnet Twitter at @fcforum_net (inglés) Identi.ca at @fcforum (inglés) Twitter at @X_net_ (castellano) *X.net **http://whois--x.net* ----- + info http://list.fcforum.net/wws/info/fcforum ------- -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

Fwd: Contact: Ongoing Projects
by Michel Bauwens 24 Oct '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Douglas Rushkoff <info(a)contactcon.com> Date: Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 1:17 AM Subject: Contact: Ongoing Projects To: Michel <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> ** Photo: Grant Potter Dear Contacters, Thanks for making October 20 a great success. Contact was most definitely established, and together we marked a moment in our collective history. As participants, sponsors, facilitators, occupiers, technologists, artists, activists, educators, librarians, students, and more, we came together to declare and release the greater potential of our networks to make a better world. Your collaboration and spirit humbled me greatly. Of course, Contact was never about itself but about you and your initiatives. So it is with great pleasure that I share with you some of how we and our colleagues are moving forward with the ideas and projects we created together, as well as a little bit more about the Bazaar winners. Remember, to stay in touch with people please consider joining the GoogleGroup we have set up, http://groups.google.com/group/contactsummit<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> . Also, as Contact participants you have the ability to create an IndieGogo campaign for free by using the code “socialweek.” Finally, if you’re particularly interested in “next net” initiatives, the http://groups.google.com/group/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>list has been going strong for a few months now. Here are the four projects we committed to seeing happen, and how to take part: *Upgrading Democracy* -Representation is a fundamental concept of our governance, but is encoded in the technology of the 18th century. The modern networked world enables a truer form of representation known variously under the names Dynamic Democracy, Liquid Democracy, and Delegable Proxy voting. This is an effort to use the net to enact these new forms of democracy. If you want to add your name to the email list to receive updates on the progress of this project go to http://upgradedemocracy.org/<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> For the Upgrading Democracy conference in San Francisco spring 2012, contact Micah Daigle at micahdaigle(a)gmail.com. For the Democracy Hackathon in Virginia, April 28 to May 5, 2012, contact Keenan Dakota at keenan(a)twinoaks.org. Session notes athttp://forum.contactcon.com/discussion/23/upgrading-democracy<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> . *Local Foodsharing platform* - Local food systems need tools that can help match needs (land, labor, tools, transportation, and more) to available resources without money acting as a barrier. Many resource-matching tools already exist. The Food MatchIt Project will identify and adapt them to specifically support the food space in a barter context. Join us and help: identify local food matching needs, inventory existing matching tools, and adapt existing tools (or maybe even build some new ones) in coordinated makeathons. To learn more and collaborate, sign up at http://FoodMatchIt.com <http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> *“Kick-Stopper” - Crowdsourced Unfunding -* Working together in a coordinated debt strike/divestment campaign we can bring the banks back under democratic control and give teeth to the concrete demands that are being hammered out at GA’s and working groups around the country and the world. The goal of this project is to create a mechanism for organizing and coordinating large scale debt strike and divestment campaigns. The project is explained here: http://forum.contactcon.com/discussion/33/kick-stopper#Item_1<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…> Join or learn more here: http://groups.google.com/group/debt-strike-kick-stopper<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…> *Collaboration Matchmaking Application *- A collaboration matchmaking service bringing artists and geeks together with other sectors. This service aims to match one’s needs with the skills of the people who will openly collaborate to provide them. More information is here: http://technoevangelist.net/collaboration-matchmaking-service/<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> *Online General Assembly *- This group, first convened by Dan Sieradski, folded itself into the Upgrade Democracy group. But it has its own mandate: to create an online version of the General Assembly technique for consensus building. Read about the genesis of this idea in this Contact Forum: http://forum.contactcon.com/discussion/24/online-general-assembly-building-…<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…> To join the effort, email participate(a)consenter.org or join the list http://groups.google.com/group/consenter<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> Meanwhile, MetaCurrency<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>, Community Forge<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>and other Contact participants re-thinking currency will be leading a Reimagining Money track at Occupy Wall Street today from 10am to 7pm. The Protest Currency Design competition is also completed, and results posted here: http://moneyart.biz/ows/<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> *The Contact Bazaar Awards, sponsored by Pepsi. * Photo: Steven Brewer At the end of the day, Reverend Billy officially blessed each of our three Bazaar Award winners as they were announced. The projects each received $10,000 from Pepsi, deposited as the seed money for free campaigns on IndieGogo. Winners were chosen by a team of judges selected from among the participants. Runners up included: The Library Farm, New Hive, Meshkit, GiftFlow, Commotion, Tether, and Digital City Mechanics. The three winners were: *Fayetteville Free Library Fab Lab* The Fayetteville Free Library aims to be the first library in the United States to build a free, public access Fab Lab. At the foundation of theFFL's Fab Lab<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>will be aMakerBot Thing-o-Matic<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…>3D printer, central to the greater vision of encouraging local innovation, collaboration and education. Lauren Britton Smedley, who has spearheaded this effort, said “the FFL is excited to provide our community with free and open access to this technology. We are building a replicable model with the hope that other libraries around the country will be able to follow and learn from our experience. It was such a thrill to participate at the Contact Conference, it was truly an amazing and inspiring day." *Free Network Foundation* The Free Network Foundation<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>is an organization whose purpose is to steward the creation of a censorship-proof, disruption-resistant, global peer-to-peer network which is fully owned and operated by its participants. They managed to get two prototype FreedomTowers up and running in time for Contact - one at Occupy Austin, the other here at Occupy Wall Street in Liberty Square. The towers are providing Internet access to the occupiers, and will be used to establish an occupation-to-occupation Virtual Private Network. Next steps for the FNF, according to its founder, Isaac Wilder, include continuing to build out their burgeoning Wide Area Network, applying to the American Registry for Internet Numbers for status as an Autonomous System, iterating and improving the design of FreedomTowers, and working with the FreedomBox project to build FreedomNode, a mesh-enabled FreedomBox capable of opportunistically engaging in communications that are materially peer-to-peer. *FreedomBox Foundation* FreedomBox<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…>is a personal server running a free software operating system and free applications, designed to create and preserve personal privacy by providing a secure platform upon which federated social networks can be constructed. “Free communities require free communication. Once we have that, no problem is beyond our ability to cooperate toward a solution,” says FreedomBox’s Executive Director, James Vasile. Watch for links to these projects on IndieGoGo in the next few days. Thanks from all of us to Pepsi for sponsoring Contact’s Bazaar Awards. *Stay in Contact* Video from some of the morning provocations is being posted to http://www.youtube.com/contactsummit and photos of the day are going up <http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…>here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1753586@N25/ Please feel free to add your own. <http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46…> To upload your own media (video clips, audio, and imagery) to our collaborative video editing project (in order to mashup and export your own version of Contact), create a free account on WeVideo, then send an email with your account username to venessa(a)contactcon.com, and she'll add you to the project: http://www.wevideo.com/sign-up?marketplaceId=16409042&languageId=2&method=s…<http://pivotcon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb70abd2409c125993e4ad46c…> And again, thanks to everyone for choosing make Contact.

To him I say Hope you feel better after your rant. I’m agnostic heading towards atheism- but find the US system of govt a solid one. By writing Creator-and not a particular God-Human Rights were secured from political control. The system has been weakened and polluted. Things got complex and voters couldn’t keep up & control their reps. Every system must withstand generational transitions and with the free-flow of info on-line, I have hope we can clean things up.

A better franchise in education?
by Maria Droujkova 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hello, I am closely involved with a start-up that wants to be structured as a somewhat hierarchical endeavor, with local groups receiving support from The Center. It is in the field of education. Which means - a franchise. Like Kumon... eh. All the franchise models we have seen seem to be heavy on intellectual property. Are there some hybrid models that work with partially open licenses for content? We do not want to depend on grants, so it will have to be a self-sustaining system, most likely a for-profit, legally. In general, what models should I check out for such an education endeavor? We need a network of local "cells" that use common materials and receive common support, but I'd like to look beyond Kumon and such. Way beyond. Cheers, Maria Droujkova 919-388-1721 Make math your own, to make your own math

Fwd: [Anarchist.academics] Markets Not Capitalism
by mp 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Anarchist.academics] Markets Not Capitalism A new collection of left wing pro-market, anti-capitalist anarchist writings Markets Not Capitalism: Individualist Anarchism Against Bosses, Inequality, Corporate Power, and Structural Poverty Ed. Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by leading figures in the anarchist tradition, including Proudhon and Voltairine de Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion. Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism. Those whose preference is for an economy that is humane, decentralized, and free will read this book with dare I use the word? profit. Bill Kaufmann, author of Bye Bye, Miss American Empire It will be hard for any honest libertarian to read this book or others like it and ever again be taken in by the big business-financed policy institutes and think tanks. In a world where libertarianism has mostly been deformed into a defense of corporate privilege, it is worth being told or reminded what a free market actually is. Our ideal society is not Tesco/Wal-Mart minus the State. It is a community of communities of free people. All thanks to the authors and editors of this book. Sean Gabb, director, UK Libertarian Alliance Libertarianism is often seen as a callous defense of privilege in the face of existing (and unjust) inequalities. Thats because it too often is. But it doesnt have to be, and this fascinating collection of historic and current argument and scholarship shows why. Even readers who disagree will find much to think about.

Tobecome autonomous is to refuse authoritarian and compulsory cultures of separation and hierarchy through embodied practices of welcoming difference... Becoming autonomous is a political position for it thwarts the exclusionsof proprietary knowledge and jealous hoarding of resources, and replaces the social and economic hierarchies on which these depend with a politics ofskill exchange, welcome, and collaboration. Freely sharing these with others creates a common wealth of knowledge and power that subverts the domination and hegemony of the masters rule." - subRosa Collective _______________________________________________ Anarchist.academics mailing list Anarchist.academics(a)lists.aktivix.org https://lists.aktivix.org/mailman/listinfo/anarchist.academics

"Fourth Order Cybernetics"
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

http://attainable-utopias.org/tiki/FourthOrderCybernetics excerpt : Can we Define a Fourth Order System? - Fourth Order Cybernetics considers what happens when a system redefines itself. - It focuses on the integration of a system within its larger, co-defining context. - The 4th Order system is contextualised, embedded and integrated into the context - It can thereby become representative for the integrated context. - It therefore operates at two levels simultaneously. - It is no longer a system, but a meta-system. - It operates both as a system in its context, and as a system that is part of the context. - It thereby has the capacity to integrate and disintegrate the contact between both. - It is an active, interactive, reactive and ideally representative agent in/for/with/of that context. - This requires a different level of description: not in relationship to the system, but to the relationship between systems. - The Interface is now the system of reference, instead of the system. - This relationship is the basis of the interaction. - The transformation is the basis of the processing. - The integration is the basis of integrity. - The significant feature of the meta-system is its duality. - The essence is the same, but the relevance brings inversion. - The metasystem is an object; the meta-system is a subject. - Whereas a system can normally be described, a meta-system can only be experienced - The ‘pillars’ in this transition are the relationships (Second Order) and the interactions (Third Order). - Fourth Order Design would integrate all activities in an inverted, contextualised form - It would be embedded in its context and responsible in, and for, its actions - The system would act as meta-system and design would act as meta-design. - This represents the level of self-awareness. - It is where the system reflects upon itself and steers itself (i.e. is autopoietic). - These attributes facilitate self-regeneration, thus self-healing. - They can therefore be managed to enable a healing process. //// http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybern%C3%A9tique science des systèmes <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syst%C3%A8me> autorégulés<http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autor%C3%A9gulation> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics interdisciplinary <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdisciplinary> study of the structure <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure> of regulatory systems<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_system> .
