Things are getting more concrete in terms of the workers owned cooperative education design I have been working on. Will briefly introduce the below also to faricoop, and faircoop members. in order to both ask contributing design and content, but also and in case if they like to registering any courses, or what would they need to learn for in exchange faircoins or what ever they have to offer. Bob Haugen just kindly asked if the app they could help -app wise- in coordination of needs and offers, can be bartered, and I replied him below: "The thick lines are as below, may help to visualize for you and Lynn: We.. - offer several practice/skill sharing/exchange courses and several theory courses, of which were complete modules, as well as fixed tutors. - then like February will open registrations for the courses, that would start May first. Those courses with enough registration like 15-20 will be destined to take off. - when we talk to comrades potential tutors, and ask them suggest courses, we want to show them what we have in faircoop framework they could get in exchange. For instance I have free text-document digitalization service to offer, as well as they could chose to attend other free courses they might like, like coding. Please Let me know in case you like to do something on coding, that would be great. Or any topic you might wish to. It does not have to be course series, can also be work shop, skill or ideas sharing, anything self-organised!" Just wanted to say that I believe this barter aspect, coordinated with an help of app like Bob and Lynn have been developing can just be immediately implemented between all of us. And would be complementary to inner- and inter-cooperative economy using good cyrpto-currencies, like faircoin, or free sharing! Ps. above is very much valid for all p2p and commons friends on this list as well. So please think what would you need to learn, and what would you like to teach, and let us know about it. Best, Orsan

Call for Contributors:
We are inviting peer producers and commoners alike to join us to peer produce a commons knowledge resource that will include text books, articles, audio, video and other sorts of digital material that will help us to address and broaden the needed dialogue between critical social theories on p2p, commons and global political economy on the other, and the political and cultural praxis towards emancipatory commons transitions that will allow humanity to go beyond the vision promised by capitalisms, while avoiding the worse like fascisms and wars to dominate the planet and destroy more lives. Believeing that it became by now cyristal clear that the humanity is passing through yet another world historical passage of which one side is dark and fearful: Deepening systemic crises, serious threats of regional and global wars, normalisation of extreme right and religious fundamentalisms, as well as natural and human disasters, all caused by the current mode of production. Yet the other side is bright and hopeful: Where the emergence of the new become clear in the realities and practices of the p2p and the commons, which by now proven themselves as not only concepts but also practices that they are bearing ‘the seeds of the new’ potential forms to constitute, what Marx referred as the ‘associated mode of production’ -more then one and a half century ago; while they also promise possibility for creation of what Kropotkin and Buchkin thought as ‘communal mutual aid society’ -in the previous century, yet to be created and consolidated collectively by painful efforts and struggle. Therefore encouraging all those who are interested and can contribute in this special collaborative project through which we want to develop structured and systematic pool of pedagogical material as base for free access self- and floss- high level remote emancipatory education activities orgniased by anyone who wishes.
