Hey Michel, I'm sorry to hear you are stepping back from the list and your role in the P2PF community. I am sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of P2P updates I receive through the list and facebook that it becomes hard to follow. I don't know how you do it. I just want to echo some of Pamela's comments. I hate to hear that you are getting negative feedback :( So I want to say thank you for all that you have shared and for all that I have learned from you and the P2PF community over the past 6 years. It seems the world is changing quickly. My own situation is changing too. I'm not sure where I will be in 12 months time. While in a material sense I am as broke today as I've ever been. In a spiritual and intellectual sense I am richer for knowing you. To you Michel and everyone who makes the P2PF what it is I thank you and wish you all the best with your endeavors in the new year.

thanks Pam, much appreciated ... I must say one of the additional motivating factors was the negative feedback I have been receiving lately, so it is always pleasant to get some kudo's as well. In any case, I have to focus more for a while on making an income for the family. I'm very interested in learning about Felipe's experience!!

Dear Michel
Whatever you are doing in 2012 I wish you well with it all.
Now is probably a good time to express appreciation for all I have learned thanks to you - both through the p2p foudation and also directly from you - so - Thank you Michel.
BTW I note you may be in Brazil later. In the spirit of open-ness I share the fact that one of the members of Dadamac meetup http://www.meetup.com/Dadamac/ - Felipe - spent a year in South America visiting local grass roots initiatives of various kinds and thinking how best to share information more widely about things that work well. When I met him he was recently back and in London trying to share what he had learned. I could put you in contact if his interests seem to overlap your own.
Pam

Dear friends,
an important announcement, in 3 days, I will provisionally retire from the p2p-f mailing list.
Material conditions make it impossible for me to continue 'curation as usual', as well as efforts in broader community building and dialogue. From January to April, I will be working intensively on a very demanding privately-funded research project, then I have a late spring lecture tour, and will likely spend 6 weeks in brazil, mid-may to the end of June.
Curation will be sharply curtailed but I will continue tagging as a normal activity, undertaken for the research project. Depending on available time, I will continue, on a much lighter regime, Facebook and Scoop.it. Twitter will continue to alert new blog and wiki items, as an automatic feature.
The blog will continue and I have devised a system with Franco, see http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Blog_Planning_Resources, but I will at most be able to spend half a day a week on it, so input from the community will be essential. I will aim for one personal editorial a week.
Feel free to suggest items for the following permanent rubrics:
(bear in mind we may not be able to publish as intensely as the plan below suggests)
Published on alternative days
P2P Blog Movement of the Day P2P Blog Person of the Day
P2P Blog Essay of the Day P2P Blog Book of the Day
Published every day:
P2P Blog Video of the Day P2P Blog News of the Day
Important, I will not read the mailing list for at least 4 months starting January 1, so if you want me to see something, it's important to cc.
