As I make a living through lecture tours, which brings me away from home a large part of the time, I particularly enjoy it when I’m home, both for being with my family and second batch of small children, and because it allows me to focus again on research, creating content for the blog and wiki, and in addition “community”.

I believe there is a lot of movement in the last few weeks; quite a few more people are joining our wiki, and creating their own spaces within it; there are now projects on open entreprise formats (Matthew Cooperrider), on user ownership theory (Patrick Anderson), on designing peer trust networks (Stan Rhodes), and more. Frederick Noronha has been working hard on updating the Asian country pages with local p2p resources.

But the really new, and I think, important thing, is that, with the help of tireless UK ‘open advocate’ Josef Davies-Coates, we now have our first ever social network, where sympathizers and interested people can work amongst each other. Josef choose Ning, and I’m really happy to discover its user friendliness. You can post photos, videos, use forums, and many more things to create visibility of our network and collaboration in our further understanding of all things peer to peer, so please, do check it out here.

There is even a badge that you can add to your blog, wiki or social network page, to show you are part of this community.

Please join us!
