Re:Open source culture vis a vis, “…it is better if OSC is not recognized as a political movement….. OSC is the new mainstream, which is what capitalist media are doing their best to hide, scared by the spectre of comunism as well as commonism.
We don’t need to resort to the language of the cold war and it’s dicotomies….”

I enjoyed comming across your article.

My closestlump it together by the term “Ism-ism”, which we could define as “All conflicting belief system biases, viewed collectivly.” I don’t presuppose that the OSC is a purist oasis in the cultural desert, necessarily, but it is more like the spring that feeds the mirage of the grove of date palms that otherwise would not have any existance at all. Ismists would see only sand in any case, because their belief system precludes and denies the reality of the cool stuff bubling up.

This is nowhere more true than in the area of exo-politics, and disclosure, and the community gathering around this spring.

For us, the advent of OSC favoring computer program architectures that enables us is a wonderful thing to have available, especially as many of the people interested in this work depend exclusively on external informational resources. Those of us who are in regular telempathic contact with “them”,We don’t worry too much about web crawlers and data miners. But, it is sometimes necessary to push the envelope, or all that would be out there in cyber space would be apt to be isimist disinformation.
You may not have been thinking about any particular community, but now you know,”We are Watching YOU.” I hope you like that, as I am having a belly laugh at the thought of that kind of peer to peer oversite. Let me know if you start having strange experiences. I’ll try to walk you through!!!!
