Dear Open Collaborators, Tomorrow is our weekly open meeting in the #openkollab channel on IRC Freenode. Last week an excellent discussion on alternative currencies emerged from the accidental assembly of interests and intentions on that day. Here's one insight:
<paulbhartzog> new currencies emerge when there is a lack of available desired currency There's no question that many of us working at the leading edge of collaboration are short on funds. I propose that we continue this discussion this week, with an eye towards implementing a solution that helps all achieve our research and development goals. Some background: * Wall Street Journal piece explains the concept: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/09/09/the-currency-revolution/ (found via P2P Foundation blog) * Flowplace, a platform for issuing new currencies (just a demo): http://flowplace.org (shared by OK regular gerryg) We need your help to make this work. Join us tomorrow. Visit http://openkollab.com for instructions on how to join, if you are not familiar with IRC (or email me).
