Fwd: FYI - Blackout Resilient Technologies Village at CCCamp...
by Michel Bauwens 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

hi chris, can you also republish post-dated on the regular blog, july 27 or after, see: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profiles/blogs/call-for-camp-on-blackout-resi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gustaf Björksten <gustaf(a)accessnow.org> Date: 2011/7/16 Subject: FYI - Blackout Resilient Technologies Village at CCCamp... To: Gustaf Bjorksten <gustaf(a)accessnow.org> Hi all, This is a call to all you hackers out there working on projects in the blackout resilient technology area. Come hang for five days in an open-air camp with a group of like-minded folks and work on bringing these technologies to fruition for the ongoing benefit of humanity. This hackathon will be in Finowfurt, Germany (near Berlin) from August 10-14, 2011. "The Chaos Communication Camp is an international, five-day open-air event for hackers and associated life-forms. It provides a relaxed atmosphere for free exchange of technical, social, and political ideas. The Camp has everything you need: power, internet, food and fun. Bring your tent and participate!" (from http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/wiki/Main_Page) "A village is a distinct area of the Camp that is run by a certain group or community. There is no central planning for the villages, besides villages with a special infrastructural need. Some villages are just a bunch of normal sleeping tents whose inhabitants feel a sense of community. Most of them have a public space to hang out together, work on a shared project, and present what they are doing. Many of them organize their own workshops or other events in which everybody can participate." (from http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/wiki/Villages) This village is for folk working on Blackout Resilient Technologies such as infrastructure mesh networks for use when the 'normal' networking infrastructure is down or switched off, perhaps after a natural disaster or when a regime activates a 'kill switch' to shut off the internet or cellular network in an attempt to thwart the mobilization of opponents or activists. Think mesh networks, cell tower replacement, bridging communications technologies and 'internet in a briefcase' type stuff. This village also invites projects in areas such as censorship circumvention, anonymity, hacktivism, secure communications, network monitoring and early warning systems. Come and help build systems to ensure the open and free exchange of information for all peoples in all nations. (bookmark http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/wiki/Blackout_Resilient_Technologies_Village for information updates as they come to hand) If you would like to participate in the Blackout Resilient Technologies Village please contact me, and if you are attending the CCCamp in another village please drop by our village and introduce yourself. Hope to see you there, -- Gustaf Björksten Technology Director Access https://www.accessnow.org GPG ID: 0xFEB3D12A GPG Fingerprint: C10F FC31 B92A 3A32 40A0 1A72 43AC A427 FEB3 D12A -- 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

Hi Sam, I know you are busy, but just in case, I'm looking for assessments of google+ and its openness, whether it's really becoming the 'interoperable social web' as some people are claiming etc ... I have a /Google tag in my delicious with material, any volunteers?

comment on ronfeldt
by Michel Bauwens 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Dear David, as I could not publish the comment via blogger, I add it here: Regarding Joseph comment. The open source governance ecology refers to 1) the community of contributors its code commons and collaborative infrastructure; 2) foundations and nonprofits which maintain the projects infrastructure 3) an enterpreneurial coalition. Josef's comments pertain to the first aspect, and do not exhaust the wide variety of governance modes that are for example highlighted by the research of George Dafermos. Benevolent dictatorships are but one modality and misnamed as they are not command and control hierarchies and usually involve post-facto control of the permissionless production process. Second, the foundations have a wide variety of democratic mechanisms such as election, rotation, etc ... The real issue is the third aspect, i.e. how far do the businesses influence the community, which may consist of its employees, and the foundation, which it may partly fund ... But, the governance of open source models, now emigrating to physical production through shared design practices, do not have to be in any way 'perfect' in order to exert an influence. The english revolution of 1688 effected institutional change by changing power to the pre-existing manufacturing and financial/commercial networks, creating the conditions for industrial capitalism to emerge. Similary, social movements of the future may effect change by locating power in the emerging p2p civil society networks, a substantial number of them functioning in similar ways to open source projects, or as is now the case in europe, though the popular assembly model.
