I will do this. I have to get these blogging requests into my schedule, starting this Sat likely. I won't be able to move much on any of it until then. My good friend writes those articles for Lansing Online News, so for sure can reference that, and will think about how this maps to a p2p political advocacy perspective. I am trying to build a relationship with the guy at the end of that video (Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero) around the Michigan Transformation concepts http://p2pfoundation.net/Michigan:_The_Transformation_Manifesto In my opinion, these are signs of a collapsing 20th century economy, with Michigan, Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Spain, and other places at the forefront of it. We could frankly use the help of people worldwide interested in p2p perspectives to think about how to move forward here in Michigan. I think there is a real opportunity, and I'll break out some of the research over the summer that we are doing with The Five Commons Report in Future Forward Institute to address things that are specific to this area, which hopefully will help people get a better idea. Also will think about an effective way to "map and model" the situation here. On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 2:29 AM, Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> wrote:
