Dear list members,
I think that this topic is very important, and even though the project
mentioned is already quite interesting, maybe there is the possibility
to get a broader scope on it.
What if we engange in a global "mapping of peer-production / alternative
economy" ?
I quote Gibson-Graham ("Postcapitalist Politics"):
"[The practice of seeing and speaking economy differently] encourages us
to make visible the hidden and alternative economic activities that
/everywhere/ abound, and to connect them through a language of economic
difference [..].
If we can begin to see noncapitalist activities as prevalent and viable,
we may be encouraged here and now to actively build on them to transform
our local economies."
So I indeed think that it is important, to make these structures
/visible/, to make visible where peer-economy is lived already now. And
this should not only be restricted to p2p urbanism.
Doesn't it already exist?
Of course there already exist many specific lists and maps, for
ecovillages, for fablabs, for hacker spaces, for social institutions
etc. But what if we manage to link them, to connect them, to make
visible that they share a common identity?
How can we achieve that?
I know that P2P-Foundation is meant as a place where this can happen,
and the P2P-Foundation wiki probably tries to achieve just that and I
think it is already a great ressource.
As it already happens in some Wikipedia articles, it would be great to
add coordinate-base data to the projects listed in the P2P-Wiki. A
database of P2P-Projects marked with geographic data can be the raw
material for building a real map of P2P-economy. Instead of Google, the
best platform to connect it with is OpenStreetMap, since only there it
can truely stay Creative Commons.
Regards,
Thomas
