Activities you can get involved in
Open Source Circular Economy Days: How do we generate revenue to support the work of building the event and the work that comes after? See some of the suggestions and contribute here.
2.unMonastery:Where are we going next? This is, from time to time, a big community discussion. The future of unMonastery in Matera or elsewhere, how to match funders’ interests with our own search for physical spaces, where in Europe can we set up new labs for experimentation? All this is important enough to engage all of us who believe in community ownership. It’s happening now, so do join in.

James suggests that timebanks and other attempts at building economic resilience of local communities at do not work unless they are backed by ownership of physical assets. Do you agree? Discussion the comment section here.
Las Indias’s piece on communities making a sell raises deep questions about the private logic: [] our “conscience” and the “private logic” will join forces to tell us “we are not good at it”, and that this “it” – selling – is very close to deceiving. But this is false.
For the last year, I’ve been busy developping inventaire.io, a libre collaborative resource mapper powered by open-knowledge. It’s very much linked the kind of things I kept coming out with at our different Edgeryders meetings back then in Strasbourg and Brussels, so some might enjoy the follow-up
Do you remember specific conversations we can link it to?
Hi Max, I think the last time I saw you was at Ouisharefest, no? Hope you are well and congratulations on inventaire. Looks interesting, kind of like readmill but opensource…right?
Ok 2 things: 1) do you remember a conversation or theme that this was tied to? What were we talking about? I think it was tied to Matt’s Earth OS thread, about mapping all free and available resources. Is this correct? If I know it helps contextualise the news in something of broader relevance.
Have you seen books.edgeryders.eu. It’s an installation of Booktype, a software for collaborative book production. I don’t know if it is of any use but I thought you might be interested.
More generally, you can find more context in the articles I wrote on P2P resources management or the one I wrote lately on how I came to develop this project, or just ask me for any other point that might need clarification
