00:42.31bigsantahELLO jAMES!
00:42.40JamesMcG_Hi
00:43.07bigsantaI was thinking about calling you lately and check how everything is going
00:43.11JamesMcG_I'm trying to crash read the tikiwiki manual
00:43.24JamesMcG_Going well, been a little busy lately
00:43.45bigsantaThat is a big project I believe. Especially as half of it is nit written yet!
00:44.05JamesMcG_Spent about 2 months working on a new version of the Sustainable Society directory
00:44.22JamesMcG_Only got started reading the manual today, onyl page 65 of 350
00:44.47bigsantaWhat is the adress to thesustainabke society directory?
00:45.12bigsantaSo I can watch your result.
00:45.21JamesMcG_www.sustainable-society.co.uk/ssphp is the new version - still some adim work before it goes live
00:45.29bigsantaBTW, how do I acss the server form the Internet?
00:46.12JamesMcG_your server should be avilable as nornia.dyndns.org
00:46.36JamesMcG_I sent you an email with the login for the sustainable-society.co.uk website, you will need the admin.php page to login
00:48.05bigsantaGreat, Seems like you did lots of work. Hoe someone also will ake the time to read it!
00:49.14bigsantaThe problem with putting up a website is to convince the newcomers that it is yhe worth the time and effort to stay and conrinue reading
00:49.29JamesMcGPart of the idea is that the new system will make it alot easier to keep updated with new links
00:49.49JamesMcGthe website is an old one, www.sustainable-society.co.uk is the HTML only version
00:50.26JamesMcGFrancesca has been running it for several years now, but it was a pain to update links manually in the HTML
00:52.09JamesMcGOne of the main things in a website is to have useful content
00:52.43bigsantaYes, it has to be concise and useful, no bla.bla.bla
00:52.48JamesMcGMost of my work recently has been to automate the maintainance of the site
00:52.58bigsantaAha?
00:52.59JamesMcGCheck out the site, there isn't much bla.bla.bla
00:53.04JamesMcGhuh???
00:53.24bigsantaLooks like very little, especially to be UK based!
00:53.52bigsantaI obviously have some reading to do!
00:54.09bigsantaI see you are stll in contact with our mutual friend Jitendra.
00:54.09JamesMcGThe ssphp directory is the new version, but I havn't imported all the data - only the links and not the books or events
00:55.01JamesMcGFrancesca execanged a few emails recently, but nothing much

01:04.23bigsantaI was just thinking that maybe we can make better use of the server in your place.
01:04.32bigsantaWhat do you think?
01:04.37JamesMcG__what where you thinking
01:04.48bigsantaMaintaining the old software seems to not work anyway
01:05.24bigsantaMayve we can use it as a normal server were we can uload Tiki sites, have websites, e.mail etd,
01:05.43bigsantaetc.
01:06.07JamesMcGThats possible, not sure if it would be best to do a clean install on the server first though
01:06.31bigsantaI believe it just a waste to spend energy on somehing that no.one use anyway
01:07.31bigsantaI delegate my technical vote to you, but I have more use of a normal server than a non-functioning NetConference Plus server
01:08.38bigsantaClean Install is fine forme, although it would be interesting to have a CD backup for historical reasons
01:08.47JamesMcGI still need to find a way to do a decent backup
01:09.35bigsantaYou send me a gile with 4 meh of database backup every day, did you know that?
01:09.46bigsanta4 mB
01:10.26JamesMcGMy linux experence is with Gentoo (which is what I have on my own manchine), but slackware or debian are also doable
01:10.31JamesMcGa gile???
01:10.44bigsantaI do so many spelling errors when I ly down in the bed and type.....
01:10.59bigsantafile
01:11.15JamesMcGNo I didn't know I sent you a backup file everyday
01:11.16bigsantaf and g are close....
01:11.39bigsantaI can send it back to you if you wish....

01:18.37bigsantaThere are only two options.

14:11.38qopibut will read anything you write later :)
14:11.41garyalexOK, I'm just emailing you and Olisb about his latest draft of the 2 pager.
14:11.41qopicya...
14:11.53qopiok, look forward to reading it
14:42.34olisbhi garyalex
14:42.48garyalexhi olisb
14:42.54garyalexjust emailing you.
14:42.59olisbok
14:43.15garyalexHere's the PS:
14:43.17garyalexP.S. I just went through your document, making comments throughout. Then, when I went to save it, Microsoft Word crashed. It does that all the time for me. Please tell me what you think of OpenOffice, even in its very limited Max OSX version. :(
14:43.52olisbi havent managed to boot up openoffice yet
14:46.07olisbright, u dont like it!
14:47.56olisbgo ahead with your version then, perhaps its best i dont come to the meeting as we may end up presnting mixed visions
14:48.41olisbi disagree with most of your points and you clealry disagree with mine
14:48.47garyalexI would prefer that we come to agreement.
14:49.01olisbthis does not seem simple
14:49.17olisbyou want CSPs, i dont think they figgure yet
14:49.24olisbi see land as important u dont
14:49.56olisbwe can debate and present alternative visions forever, but nothing will get done
14:50.12garyalexI can't believe that after all this time our visions are so different.
14:50.22olisbbeleive it
14:50.33garyalexwhen you did those slide shows I was clear that we were in close agreement.
15:12.02qopigaryalex: it is a pity you lost your comments. any chance you could go through it again?
15:12.24qopiif so, i'd be happy to try and make a version that captures the essense of both
15:12.43garyalexi'm on the phone with oli
15:12.50qopiok
15:12.59garyalexhave recovered the comments
15:13.08qopigaryalex: that is good news!
15:13.15qopisend them over...
15:15.27qopiolisb: we all want CSPs I think
15:15.49qopiand the working groups that make them up for all be co-operative open orgs
15:16.30olisbsorry qopi, bit fed up of debating this now, tempted to say 'whatever...'
15:16.34olisbcatch u l8r
15:16.36qopigaryalex: how are we do build a sustainable world without sustainable management of land?
15:16.38garyalexOK, I've emailed the recovered document to you both.
15:16.42qopiolisb: aii
15:16.48qopigaryalex: will take a look at it later
15:17.21garyalexIn the longer term, I agree that land is crucial. Also, much different governments.
15:17.48garyalexI just don't see either of those as easy early steps. As Mamading says, we need to pick the low hanging fruit.
15:18.18garyalexWhile keeping our overall vision up there as a pointer to where we are going.
15:18.29qopii think we need to make it clear that sustainable land management is part of our vision
15:18.33garyalexIt's easy to oppose, hard to see what the alternatives are.
15:18.38qopiand outline what small steps we are taking now
15:18.43qopiin order to get there
15:18.55garyalexOn land, what do you see as the first small steps?
15:19.15qopiexplicitly mentioning it in our vision
15:19.40qopiand saying that we are going to pull together all those who share our vision to buy/obtain land
15:19.41garyalexI take it you mean something more than organic farming?
15:20.01qopibuilding ecological homes and offices
15:20.23qopithat is what a CSP is in my eyes
15:20.26garyalexI understand the importance of having premises for co-ordinating communities. Do you think owning them is needed?
15:20.36qopigaryalex: absolutely
15:20.48qopihow else we will remove final pressures?
15:20.58garyalexfinancial?
15:21.01qopirent?
15:21.09garyalexmortgages?
15:21.10qopiv high rent at that
15:22.20qopigaryalex: we are trying build a how new economic system
15:22.37garyalexI certainly like the idea of owning land. I'm just daunted by the sums of money needed and the planning constraints on its use.
15:22.44qopinew forms of land ownership and mutual money sysetms form the basis
15:22.56qopiof a new economy
15:23.12qopiwell, those to things together with co-operaitve open organisations
15:23.21qopiself-organising to meet community defined needs
15:24.08garyalexCan you give me an example, say in London, of how that might get started?
15:24.23garyalexPeople jointly raising money to buy urban properties?
15:25.12garyalexPerhaps like my Portugal project, where 65 people put in money to buy a piece of land?
15:30.57garyalexqopi are you still there?

15:33.30qopiand built housing co-ops and social enterprises etc
15:33.37qopigaryalex: yes, though i have booked my ticket
15:33.54garyalexI'm certainly happy to support any group doing that kind of thing, in any way we can.

23:29.28garyalexhi salfield
23:30.12garyalexhey tom, have you been in on any of this business of the 2 page summary of the open co-op?
23:30.25salfieldhi gary was talking to josef earlier
23:30.31garyalexAnd what we say on Friday to Phone Coop and Coops uk
23:30.32salfieldand quite a lot of things
23:30.44garyalexhave you seen my doc and olis?
23:31.05salfieldGary, I feel your presentation has its place, I havent seen olisb's yet
23:31.11salfieldand dont have time at the moment
23:31.32garyalexAny chance of looking tomorrow? I'll send it to you now.
23:31.34salfieldbut I think we need to be quite hard headed about what it is we actually do
23:31.39salfieldokay
23:31.51garyalexmeaning?
23:32.03salfieldand I dont feel your document delivered that
23:32.14garyalexI've just sent you Oli's
23:32.30salfieldI agree with it as a philosophical motivator
23:32.32garyalexI'll have a chance to work on it tomorrow if I get more comments.
23:32.42salfieldbut think we need to start talking business to people
23:32.58salfieldI had one specific comment
23:33.14garyalexyes?
23:33.25salfieldwhich is that this business about "competition ending at the barrier of the open coop"
23:33.37salfieldfirstly this is ambigous
23:33.37garyalexI've removed that.
23:33.42salfieldokay
23:33.44salfieldcool
23:33.57garyalexat oli's suggestion
23:34.18garyalexand he quoted you too.
23:34.24salfieldokay I'll have a look at your latest version and oli's tomorrow
23:34.47salfieldGary, on the business plan
23:34.48qopigaryalex: it was actually me that quoted tom :)
23:34.54garyalexthanks qopi. I'll have a look
23:35.12salfieldthat makes sense since I only spoke to qopi about it
23:35.20garyalexsalfield you say "we need to start talking business to people" can you be specific?
23:35.32garyalexsorry qopi.
23:36.03salfieldwell first we need a water tight and agreed business plan/ development path
23:36.15salfieldand I was saying to qopi
23:36.35salfieldif we are using viable systems approach
23:36.44salfieldwe should first analyse our skills set
23:36.59salfieldso, I take a look on our website at our team
23:37.07salfield(not a complete listing)
23:37.32salfieldand I see that we have in our "team" a lecturer at a business school
23:37.56garyalexqopi: thanks for the diagram. It follows from your London Open Co-op page, which I like and have commented on.
23:38.02salfieldand a man who has set up and worked in some of the UKs most successful cooperatives
23:38.06garyalexYes, Angela.
23:38.11garyalexYes, Jon
23:38.20garyalexBoth busy people.
23:38.29garyalexworking on a Regional Organic Network
23:38.56salfieldand that neither qopi olisb or even phenny have ever had a conversation, or and email, or any other contact with them
23:39.16salfieldpeople  are busy with what they are in contact with
23:39.30garyalexI tried to phone them yesterday, hoping that they might come to Manchester on Friday.
23:39.43garyalexjust so they could meet some more of us.
23:40.08garyalexI left messages and will try again tomorrow.
23:40.08salfieldgaryalex: if these people are to remain on our team, whilst not ever having said a word to the core project implementing team
23:40.38salfieldI want a simple email introduction...is that an unreasonable thing
23:40.47garyalexPoint taken. I'll try to convince them to be active in the conversations.
23:40.49salfieldthen we can involve them in this community
23:41.05salfieldcool :)
23:41.21garyalexA simple email list would suit them better than IRC though. They don't have broadband.
23:41.40salfieldI think they can really help us shape up our business angle
23:41.48garyalexOur discussions are so diffuse.
23:42.06garyalexPerhaps they can.
23:42.16salfieldno this is quite key to dealing with the ambuguities
23:42.27salfieldin our vision and practices
23:42.37garyalexI'm a little disappointed not to have heard from Chris Cook yet with a draft of the partnership agreement.
23:42.59salfieldme too, nor evangineer on  the groups or tiki-move
23:43.34garyalexwe seem to move in small isolated spurts
23:43.53salfieldmaybe this will cheer some people in the channel up? http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mss/Papers/PonderToolkit.pdf
23:44.02salfieldit cheered me up :)
23:44.18qopigaryalex: i don't see any comments on the London Open Co-op page
23:44.37qopihttp://open.coop/London+Open+Co-op
23:44.40salfieldI love it when I find out that something that I have been planning has already been implemented
23:46.02garyalexsalfield: at first glance it isn't a lively easy read ;)
23:46.29garyalexqopi: sorry, I remember now. Somehow when I went to save it, it got lost!!! :(
23:46.34garyalexI'll re-do it.
23:47.04garyalexthat was just before we started this bit of irc chat, so I got distracted :(
23:47.58qopiok :)
23:50.23qopisalfield: you had a look at the diagram yet? (and/or http://open.coop/London+Open+Co-op)
23:53.42garyalexqopi: I've more or less re-done it now.
23:55.21garyalexI'm off to bed now. Busy day tomorrow. First I'm off to East Bergholt to see my newly born granddaughter, then to Milton Keynes. Hope to do more work on the 2 pager there.
