Ah, the Ning mess continues.  Nothing is free. Wen we will learn to work together so as to save ourselves the trouble?  A little more work up front and so much less hassle later, I say.

So, would you like to migrate from Ning to Drupal?  Great!

As soon as the sites go down, they can come back up again.

Most of them don't even host copyrighted material besides a few images from a DVD box or movie poster.

When will it all end?

The new collaborative book by Neal Stephenson is a great idea.  You can find an intro to the concept over at IO9.

I was sitting with James Burke last night after a long day at the HackdeOverheid event.  We were chatting about how the conference was or wasn't supportive or related to what we considered our 'core work.'  I was making a few points about resources I am seeking related to the Cooperative Ecology and Commons Based Enterprise work that I'm doing.

The Cooperative Ecology Project provides a complete set of tools for joining together enterprises in a geographic area to form a sustainable self-sufficient Commons Based support system.

The project is still in development and a number of supporting documents are linked from the description page on the P2P Foundation's wiki at:

Have you ever wondered what it takes to publish a journal?

I'd like to know myself, and I am sure there's a lot of different pieces I don't know about yet, but, let's give it a try!

There's a new page on the P2P Foundation's wiki.  You can find that here: http://p2pfoundation.net/Publishing_House

As information on the web becomes more and more flexible it seems logical that the spaces between information will become more and more the center of attention.

Inside Drupal it's possible to create any number of relationships between nodes.  Nodes might be locations, articles, or any other number of things, and starting with Drupal 7 all of this data will be packaged with RDFa.

Regardless, there are lots of pages on each Drupal site, and if you are using node relationships, then you probably already know that there's a rich amoutn of data in those relationships.

Two Drupal distributions were hyped by Aqcuia today.

OpenPublish is built for use by groups that wish to publish newspapers or journals.

We are all welcomed into the world of individual awareness as we grow in our development.  Some of us are called on to serve others in some capacity as aids to our brothers and sisters who are in the process of deepening their own awareness.

As a person who finds himself in such a place of being called on to aid my fellows I look at this as an opportunity to share my own experience and the opportunity before me.

What follows is a basic plan for the start-up of a small scale farm that utilizes sustainable and ecologically friendly practices, and is situated within and compatible with the network of other operations in the country and the world poised to continue innovation in farming with sustainible, ecologically friendly technology.

The goals of the farm are the following:
