[P2P-F] Transnational and P2P Commons Transitions

[Örsan Şenalp]

May be as at the beginning of every flos project the initators has to
take the initiative, form a foundation to develop and promote the
ideas in a stable line and grow. It was probably similar for the
starting years of the P2P-F; I mean to prevent tyranny of
structureless and grow, it was necessary to have a built in
(semi-)hierarchy. I did produce a perspective on p2p, use value with
an open code. And now it has already become much more than a floss
project. At least it's impact is socialised, having a broader impacts.
So the time, may be, has come for P2P-F to try to commonify its
governance and re-design it accordingly. It might need time of course,
and it surely is the work and decision of thecore founders, direct
members, close affinities, and wider stake holders...  still would be
a challenging and epic experience for all of us!
