hi Kevin, we officially created our coop, as a phyle through our constitution and principles but legally as a dutch legal cooperative, mid-year 2011; franco can provide you with text links if you want we have signed our first big commercial contract and gone through initial teething problems of getting real contractual cooperation off the ground with people who are not physically co-located, we will be able to make a first assessment mid 2012 however, keep in mind it's a very small outfit of 3-4 people Michel On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 9:55 PM, Kevin Carson < [email protected]> wrote:

we're not really in a position to give advice, as we only started very recently and are working through our own growth issues,

I recall seeing last year your statement on hoping to build a phyle based on the p2p foundation community, but saw almost nothing between that announcement and your comment here. Is there a link to somewhere that details the progress of this idea?
