I’ve previously seen the concept of the ‘Convivial Society’ explored and advocated by Ivan Illich in his book Tools for Conviviality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Illich#Tools_for_Conviviality).

As a software engineer I found Illich’s overall philosophy a bit austere and overly anti-technological. Just from this article it sounds like this new initiative does draw from Illich’s line of thought but is also a broader church.
