Re: [P2P-F] Researching p2p practices in a fragmented state.

wonderful news Vasilis, and this merits an official announcement in our international blog! perhaps we should organize a hangout on the proposed theme, with Bernardo and others, after the end of june, when i'm back home, Michel << From: S?rgio Storch <sergiostorch(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [P2P-F] Researching p2p practices in a fragmented state. To: P2P Foundation mailing list <p2p-foundation(a)lists.ourproject.org> Message-ID: <CAJrkveOsRT=YhsFXej0KAb1Aa= BDF6dk7G_aZSughZ+3xOGo=A(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Friends, this title " Researching p2p practices in a fragmented state is so strong and compelling that it takes me to suggest for Michel and/or others to explore further, in a special article or post, the implications p2p in a fragmented state, that, after all, is a fragility of all states today. I think that, although Greece is a specially serious case in this regard, the potential of p2p for the governance of the Commons deserves serious debates in the spaces where we are in Latin America, in all metropolitan regions. Would you like to expand on that?

Fwd: Honouring a Theology of Land in its contemporary application
by Michel Bauwens 14 May '13

14 May '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Challen <peterchallen(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, May 13, 2013 at 3:18 PM Subject: Honouring a Theology of Land in its contemporary application To: ** <http://click.enlightennext-mail.org/?qs=2ac51282162cbb4bbbf47e3fbaddc23cdf7…> *Dear Friend in Faith,* You, or a representative you can encourage, are invited to consider continuing with us in the quest for a pertinent translation of a contemporary understanding of a renewal of economic behaviour today at intimate, corporate and global levels of our essential inter-dependence. *HONOURING A THEOLOGY OF LAND IN ITS CONTEMPORARY APPLICATION* *The first conference on Honouring a Theology of Land* in the series of three wrestled with this definition of an understanding of the biblical Covenant, when first formulated, as recorded in the books of Genesis and Exodus. A THEOLOGY OF LAND founded in *A COVENANT between GOD and HUMANITY,* *where evolving global consciousness ensures* *that the ever emergent gift of life on earth* *is continuously replenished* *by our trusteeship and husbandry * *of the finite resources of the land.* It is a land deal. It is a way of communicating the fact that God’s creation in nature requires the free and voluntary contribution of humanity, with its unique shared consciousness, to the maintenance and replenishment of the resources of the land, of the earth entire, within its unique bio-sphere. *The second conference wrestled with the concept of chaplaincy*, as an extension of audit, and as a way to consider the role of the church in society. This placed the emphasis on a universal message from all the faith traditions, made available in given situations by close attention to the local realities while related to the wider context of global house keeping. This would require deeper awareness of actual issues and situations confronting people and stand instead of general rhetoric such as we had found in the number of grand statements from faith sources produced in 2012 and 2013. *The third conference is on Saturday June 1st 10.00 am-- 2.00 pm at St James, 197 Piccadilly.* Resolving the land dispute over the control of the Holy Land remains the overriding moral and political challenge which has so far defeated the international community of nations. Secular political and philosophical discourses have proved unfit for purpose. How the Theology of the Land can resolve the impasse is the subject of the discussion at this third conference. Speakers will examine the proposition that the Covenant which laid the foundations for the Abrahamic faiths, and its further elaboration by Jesus in his discourse on public finance, provides the tools for a settlement that would foster a multi-ethnic community embracing Israel and her neighbouring lands. How will leaders of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths now take their founding precepts and work with secular authorities to create a model for conflict resolution that could then also be applied to the other crises of the 21st century? How will the influential American evangelical movement respond to the news that Jesus challenged conventional thinking on taxation (with its implications for modern governance and the financial sector)? How might the economics of the Covenant undermine the spiritual credibility of the advocates of radical Islam? These questions are intended to identify ways of re-opening the door to ecumenical action. You are invited to participate in their elaboration so that, as a result of our exploration of the Theology of the Land, new moral and philosophical vistas may attract secular leaders to visualise how peace and prosperity is a practical prospect for everyone. Please also pass this invitation to others you feel would be interested to help in this difficult act of inter-faith translation and agreement, which might then influence our political and economic leaders. If you wish to register or to seek for more details of the events and their intent, please contact fred.harrison(a)talktalk.net or peterchallen(a)gmail.com Yours along the shared pilgrims' way, Rev. Canon Peter Challen Fred Harrison, Economist of The Land Research Trust and author of 'The Traumatised Society' http://theologyofland3of3.eventbrite.com * * ** -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/

Fwd: Janelle gets serious for a minute.....then sends 12 videos to inspire you!
by Michel Bauwens 14 May '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janelle Orsi <janelle.orsi(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 14, 2013 at 9:35 PM Subject: Janelle gets serious for a minute.....then sends 12 videos to inspire you! To: janelle(a)theselc.org Dear friends, Last week, I emailed a big update about my work and asked people to contribute to the Sustainable Economies Law Center. Today, SELC has $3,800 left to raise to get a $10,000 matching grant tomorrow. Can you help us? Here's the link to contribute<http://www.razoo.com/story/Selc-Spring-Matching-Grant-Campaign> . *My serious note: *Normally, I send cartoons to inspire people to support SELC, and this email is no exception. But on a more serious note, I want to say that SELC has historically gotten a lot of important work done with almost no wiggle room in our budget. In October, when a group of Chinese-American farmers got hit with heartbreaking fines that threatened to shut down their farms and way of life, SELC jumped in to advocate for the farmers, and we've been involved ever since. We didn't feel we had the time or resources to help the farmers, but we did anyway, because the incident has broad implications. That's how SELC works. We just dive in and do stuff when it really matters and when it will have a big impact. In the long run, we really can't do this without building a solid base of individual supporters, and I'm emailing because I'm hoping you will become part of that base. *And below are 12 videos to get you inspired about SELC.* Also, attached are lists of our 2011 and 2012 accomplishments (one of which features 20 cartoon drawings). 1. Raising Dough <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFUWLiZNGp4>: A silly 45-second video about our work to raise money this week. 2. A Day in the Life of SELC <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF388xEeucQ>: A fun 43-second video depicting a day in the life of SELC. 3. Legal Roots of Resilience <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pBVWjValZ8>: A 4-minute cartoon about legal barriers to creating resilient communities. 4. Housing for an Economically Sustainable Future<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HlDN6Yu0Gk>: 8-minute cartoon about cooperative housing law. 5. Economy Sandwich<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVUXiUkfQCs&list=PL6qQLv9YMwH2F79xleAXPap5TT…>: A 9-minute cartoon all about the legal grey areas that arise in the sharing economy. 6. Citylicious<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYUr0GKWWX8&list=PL6qQLv9YMwH2F79xleAXPap5TT…>: A 9-minute cartoon all about legal issues that arise in connection to urban agriculture. 7. Share Spray<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U31BKGEZvBs&list=FLAr5sK9Rmu6m81nEn_lTL1Q>: A fun 5-minute animation about how sharing will transform the world, made in collaboration with the Center for a New American Dream<http://newdream.org/> . 8. Legal Eats:<http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6qQLv9YMwH1nEb6CCmiEe55g4UeCyVTe> A 14-part video series on legal topics relevant to starting a community-based food enterprise, made in collaboration with the Green Collar Communities Clinic <http://greencollarcommunities.wordpress.com/> - *featuring more cartoons!* 9. Think Outside the Boss:<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC1X27kQIlw&list=FLAr5sK9Rmu6m81nEn_lTL1Q> An 8-part video series on legal topics relevant to starting a worker cooperative, made in collaboration with the Green Collar Communities Clinic <http://greencollarcommunities.wordpress.com/> - *featuring more cartoons!* 10.
