that is indeed good news, thanks for the update and appeal Mark and thanks
of course to Paul Mason,

dear Paul, we have quite a few peeps in Greece, that are working in various
capacities around the commons, if there is room for meeting them (some work
with the greek VP), let us know,

have you taken a look at commonstransition.org around which we did
workshops with civic groups and Syriza elected officials ?
