[P2P-F] [hc_ecology] Nomad Approach - Coalition ?

Sun Aug 28 15:19:39 CEST 2011

Thanks Roberto,

it all needs to be defined and expressed.
I will progressively organize and add points to the wiki page
and invite you to do so too

*http://sharewiki.org/en/Nomad_Tribe*

I think of a Nomadic Tribe as a swarm moving from TAZ to TAZ ( Temporary
Autonomous Zone )

and I think of its support and economy as an approach to develop local
economies while gathering resources and funding to purchase land and
property in least expensive areas as to redevelop them ( see :
http://p2pfoundation.net/Venture_Communism )

///

When I think of "Oasis" ( another name can be used ),
I think of a Regional Economy which progressively reduces its dependency
towards monopolies.

For example, the Leipzig project
http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project
is an approach I wish to support as to enable such intention.
I imagine it can serve as aggregator for various cultures and distributed
flows of intelligence.

///

Yes, the http://www.wwoof.org/, or http://www.helpx.net/ ( paying sites )
kind of approach shares a lot with the subcultures I m wish to converge
through such kind of neo-nomadic approach.

One could also add to these approaches or cultures related to Ecotopia
Gathering <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia_gathering>,
Rainbow Gatherings <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering>, Hacker
Spaces <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Computer_Club> and
Gatherings<http://events.ccc.de/>,
Music Festivals, Circus Tribes, Comedian Tribes, Film Making Sets,
Permaculture Meetings, Cycling Tribes <http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/>,
... perhaps also, why not, TAZ tent architecture gatherings ?

Some of these can be related to an understanding of "Temporary Autonomous
Zones"
