thanks Pam, much appreciated ... I must say one of the additional motivating factors was the negative feedback I have been receiving lately, so it is always pleasant to get some kudo's as well. In any case, I have to focus more for a while on making an income for the family. I'm very interested in learning about Felipe's experience!!<br>

Dear Michel<br>
<br>
Whatever you are doing in 2012 I wish you well with it all. <br>
<br>
Now is probably a good time to express appreciation for all I have
learned thanks to you - both through the p2p foudation and also
directly from you - so - Thank you Michel. <br>
<br>
BTW I note you may be in Brazil later. In the spirit of open-ness I share the fact that one of the members of Dadamac meetup <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Dadamac/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/Dadamac/</a>
- Felipe - spent a year in South America visiting local grass roots
initiatives of various kinds and thinking how best to share information
more widely about things that work well. When I met him he was recently
back and in London trying to share what he had learned. I could put you in contact if his interests seem to overlap your own.<br>

Dear friends,<br><br>an important announcement, in 3 days, I will provisionally retire from the p2p-f mailing list.<br><br>Material conditions make it impossible for me to continue 'curation as usual', as well as efforts in broader community building and dialogue. From January to April, I will be working intensively on a very demanding privately-funded research project, then I have a late spring lecture tour, and will likely spend 6 weeks in brazil, mid-may to the end of June.<br>
<br>Curation will be sharply curtailed but I will continue tagging as a normal activity, undertaken for the research project. Depending on available time, I will continue, on a much lighter regime, Facebook and Scoop.it. Twitter will continue to alert new blog and wiki items, as an automatic feature.<br>
<br>The blog will continue and I have devised a system with Franco, see <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Blog_Planning_Resources" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Blog_Planning_Resources</a>, but I will at most be able to spend half a day a week on it, so input from the community will be essential. I will aim for one personal editorial a week.<br>
<br>Feel free to suggest items for the following permanent rubrics:<br><br>(bear in mind we may not be able to publish as intensely as the plan below suggests)<br><br><p>Published on alternative days
