[P2P-F] [commoning] The Co-operative University

Sat Dec 14 19:35:44 CET 2013

interesting thread - thanks to all

personal note - I hope your actions can evolve towards , or include
awareness and support for :

*" uncommodified, unmanaged, and uncurricularized "*

http://p2pfoundation.net/Against_the_Professional_Cooptation_of_Community

hence using institutions for de-institutionalization :
non monetized, self organized ( and open sourced ), non credentialized.

potentially some examples, in addition to informal learning we experience
in our daily lives

and

such as ( when using ICT )

Personally, I am interested in converging tribes, into ( semi ? ) neo
nomadic tribes,
even if only for a specific time and specific space,
for socially and environmentally regenerative participatory action research
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_action_research

I spent years hitch hiking, money-less, or almost money-less,
and realize a home / base to return to is important.

I hope the following space will become a reality, and a starting point for
leveraging such approaches

http://sharewiki.org/en/Antwerp_Collective

I wish to encourage such approaches, or find ways to find overlap, with
cooperative institutions,

and enable scalability by supporting modular and open source parametric
nomadic solutions and infrastructures :
http://sharewiki.org/en/Spime_Housing

and rapidly spread out such approach in most of the world, regardless of
land ownership, money, or credentials,

and in support of emergent collective intelligence and the commons.
