The Venus Project needs experienced people to volunteer some time, regarding possibly transitioning into the Open Community.. www.thevenusproject.com www.tvpactivism.com I have been discussing this in a thread (link below), and am to the point that people who have done open projects, or related things, need to input into this. I have done a bit of research and am needing anyone who can possibly have some correspondence with me and maybe show how things will be handled if the choice is made to go Open with past, present, and/or future works and projects. http://tvpactivism.com/en/community/groups/viewdiscussion/84-open-licensing-... I think this volunteer organization is very much aligned by default, by definition, with the Open and Free Software and related movements, however the person who started this is in his mid 90s now, is still alive and well for his age, but doesn't know about these things. I am trying to bridge the gap between us and the all encompassing open developments that are growing worldwide. On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 11:16 PM, < [email protected]> wrote:

Invitation to join the Feasta Currency Group

This message is sent to the extended Feasta email list, as a one-time invitation to join the Feasta Currency Group if you are interested in pursuing a currency initiative in your locality. What is the Feasta Currency Group?

It?s a primarily online Community of Practice (CoP) for local currency advocates (and would- be advocates) to share experience and information around the development and implementation of local currencies ? initially via a Facebook Group and a group email list. Why have a separate group?

Because it sometimes makes sense to share and develop incomplete ideas and preliminary plans of action with input from peers before going completely public. Feasta covers a very broad range of economic sustainability issues ? not all Feasta followers are interested in the way designer currencies can impact local economies. Is this solely about developing The Liquidity Network (LQN)?

No. The FCG is committed to developing and detailing the ideas behind the LQN <http://www.theliquiditynetwork.org>, and getting them into practice, but we do not see this as a competitive process. We want to engage with local currency advocates as their own ideas develop, help them to articulate objectives for their currencies, co-design and develop tools for understanding local economic circuits, and watch and learn from their dialogues with their peers. Does the CoP include national as well as local initiatives?

This will depend on the interests of the members. The FCG sees the potential reintroduction of national currencies in europe as an extension of local currency discussion. The distinction is perhaps between activism and policy-influencing and at present the FCG is more committed to the former. But CoPs belong to their members. Do I have to be a member of Feasta?

We aren't going to police this, but we'd very much appreciate it if you were. Membership <http://www.feasta.org/get-involved/> is a small price to pay to support Feasta's wide ranging work programme, and the small central admin team at Cloughjordan. So how do I sign up?

Just reply to this email

Feasta Currency Group <[email protected]>

and we'll keep you posted.
