Dear Leopold,<br><br>Sounds like a really interesting project,<br><br>a few ideas:<br><br>via the P2P-F list, we can launch an initial discussion with interesting people in our network, i.e. "p2p-foundation" <<a href="mailto:p2p-foundation@lists.ourproject.org">p2p-foundation@lists.ourproject.org</a>>, with people like Eric Hunting, Sam Rose, and more<br>
<br>via the p2p-urbanism list, "p2p-urbanism-world-atlas" <<a href="mailto:p2p-urbanism-world-atlas@googlegroups.com">p2p-urbanism-world-atlas@googlegroups.com</a>>, there is a whole crew of commons-oriented urban planners and architects such as Nikos Salingaros, Stefano Serafini and others<br>
<br>once done, you can join a federation of commons oriented spaces like the one I'm just launching<br><br>you may also want to watch the documentary A New We, and since your close, visit damanhur and its villages (you don't have to buy into their metaphysics to find this interesting real-life experimentation in different styles of sustainable living),<br>
<br>I can personally not read German, so I suggest you write a english-language FAQ to launch the discussion in the suggested mailing lists,<br><br>we can discuss how this links to a posssible ars electronica proposal separately,<br>
<br>Stefano, Nikos: would you guys be interested in a joint project to ars electronica, to which I would participate, and eventually linked to Leopold's project?<br><br>I've never been there, and cannont participate without funding; they always write me to be a candidate in their annual awards, but I haven't found time to do this on my own,<br>

Dear Michel,<br>
<br>
Our last encounter was at the en:able conference in Vienna last year.<br>
en:able had a lot of unforgettable impressions to me.<br>
Also I am excited about your Open Everything movement !<br>
Currently I am planning to buy a parcel of land at the periphery of vienna.<br>
I want to build a house for living with extended semiprivate spaces<br>
(gallery ?, ambient cinema ?, DIY-Lab, others…). I am in the early<br>
phase of brainstorming.<br>
Here you come into the game…<br>
I would like to develop the whole project under Open Source/Everything aspects.<br>
I don’t know if anybody has done this before.<br>
There is a proverb saying that you have to build 3 houses before you<br>
have a house<br>
which fits your demands. Peter Eisenman has build several houses which<br>
are manifestations<br>
of his analytical works. I don’t have enough resources and lifetime<br>
left to do it the same way.<br>
I would like to accelerate this evolutionary process and enrich<br>
it by wisdom of the crowd because I think even the best architect<br>
alone is not able to<br>
cope with the complexity of a state of the art design considering a<br>
lot of different<br>
aspects. <a href="http://www.zukunftshaus.at" target="_blank">www.zukunftshaus.at</a> from the futurologist Matthias Horx might<br>
be a starting reference point. I would like to use existing<br>
experiences and try to push it forward to version 2.0 without having<br>
as much money as Matthias Horx.<br>
My Idea is to have a broad brainstorming discussion in the Web 2.0 environment<br>
accessing the wisdom of the crowd. Also I want to write a accompanying book<br>
“Open House & Garden 2.0” (working title).<br>
Attached is a very first draft beginning to collect ideas. It is<br>
mainly in german but I can send you an english version soon.<br>
Another idea is to make a submission at the ARS Electronica.<br>
I am attending at the ARS electronica for more than 10 years.<br>
Last year I made a contribution (Deep Cloud) about cloud intelligence<br>
in the category digital communities, but I had not enough time to<br>
finish and realize the project. I think your “open everything” topic<br>
could be interesting for the ARS electronica. My open architecture<br>
project could be a small part (ongoing project) of your bigger<br>
picture.<br>
Dou you know ARS electronica ? The golden nica last year in the<br>
category digital communities went to CCC (chaos computer club) and the<br>
history is full of big names (Wikipedia, Linus Torwalds, …) and so on<br>
but I think the time is ripe for more contemporary activities…<br>
<br>
Please let me know what you think about my ideas in the following 3 points:<br>
1) possible submission “Open Everything” at ARS 2011<br>
I think Submissions for ARS 2011 have to be made until april.<br>
<br>
2) launching “Open House & Garden 2.0” in the web<br>
For my open architecture project I would need support in launching the<br>
internet part.<br>
Maybe you have some ideas how to launch such a project in internet.<br>
My background is from software development but I don’t have time and<br>
resources to setup<br>
any infrastructure in the web. I think the minimum requirements would<br>
be to have a project BLOG. More better I would like to have a creative<br>
space in the Web for discussion, brainstorming, working with state of<br>
the art tools. The tools you are using for mindmapping<br>
are pointing in the right direction.<br>
The main question is how to get enough attentivness to find a lot of<br>
participants.<br>
<br>
3) contribution for my book<br>
For one part of the book I am thinking to make interdisciplinary<br>
interviews with architects, artists, theoraticians, practicioners and<br>
so on.<br>
Is it thinkable to get a contribution from yourself ?<br>
<br>
Many greetings from Vienna,<br>
Leopold<br>
