[P2P-F] OSE Europe - Open Process

Mon Nov 7 01:48:03 CET 2011

I don’t understand the technicalities of how Bitcoin works, but am confident it will facilitate transactions. 
A very general idea is offer an opportunity for charitable contributions to support volunteer efforts by those who are unemployed, underemployed, employed under the radar, etc. An individual earns points (bitcoins) based on volunteer work and exchanges them for “cash” value. This would increase efficiency and returns to labor by deleting “wasteful” hours from the system. I assume there would have to be some type of safeguard to “insure” Givers against abuse (using credits for drugs) and cheating (faking hours)  Maybe have community groups that “sign off” on the time spent be “certified” in some way. Within the community, you now can trade your time for product-but this method allows individuals worldwide to deposit into the pool.

tell us more Natalie,

generally speaking, OSE Europe could set up a complimentary currency credit commons like the WIr ...

like Amy has done: http://p2pfoundation.net/Amy_Kirschner_on_the_Vermont_Sustainable_Exchange

the idea is to allow partial payment in a complementary currency at first,

  Any thoughts re Setting Up “Charity” Banks using the new Electronic Currencies?

  yes, it is okay to share it in the list. Few more questions:

    Dear Nikolay,

    is it okay to share this with our list?

    I can't really recommend any technical process, and I copy Sam rose for that, as for the governance

    1) the community is the core and allowed permissionless contributions ; selection for excellence is done by accepted maintainers who have gained the confidence of the community and of each other

    2) OSE-E is the formal entity responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of cooperation, but is not in command and control of the production process; it should be democratically managed

  Are there some examples where I can see this working? Or to read how it could be implemented.

    3) Use the peer production license to allow free usage by other commons-friendly market entities, but make other for-profits pay (define set of minimum conditions)

  Sounds good! Any examples how to do it?

    4) try to create your own cooperative entity for such activities, and create some kind of alliance of entities using the commons, which integrates various stakeholders

  How could this be done? Where can I find more info?

  Thank you very much! Great advices!

  Nikolay

    5) develop an ethical funding strategy, based on crowdfunding; look into the open hardware central bank, Goteo

    hope that gives some ideas,

    Michel

      Hi Michel,

      OSE Europe is growing! What we are doing is something very similar and very different than Factor E Farm.

      We want to create an open, dynamic, self-organizing network of people, communities, organizations, and open enterprises working towards an open society.

      Last week we saved Solar Fire, the solar concentrator, which Marcin couldn't open source few months ago, and showed that We Together can achieve more than one leader. http://oseeurope.org/

      Can you give me some advices how to design this Open Process?

      I started adding notes on how to develop Open Governance: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Europe/Open_Governance
      but I still have to learn more.

      Thank you!

      Nikolay
