perhaps the cancellation of the Time interview is a blessing in disguise. best not to get the MSM all in a tizzy about decentralization, lest the guvvies figure out a way to come nab the golden goose.

think of marketing and PR just like the rest of the project – organic open source. don’t get ahead of yourselves and beware of reporters waving readerships. all in the right time & place, yes?

congrats & continued blessings.

Here is today’s agenda:
———————–
Welcome to the forthcoming conference call. You will receive a call at 11 AM GMT-6. The agenda is CEB Product Rlease and General Project Acceleration. Remember this is an action-oriented discussion, so discussion should be kept only to things you are volunteering to do to help the project. Let’s try to keep the call to an hour. There are 6 participants this time, so prepare to talk for around 10 minutes, though it can be shorter. We’d like to use this forum to start discussion, and followup can be done by email or phone. This will be a weekly call, so we can follow up on items next week.

Participants and Agenda

1. Marcin – OSE Founder – 5 minutes – Intro on the exciting new developments related to product release of the CEB press. This is a new stage for OSE. I will touch on strategy, hardware license (trademarks?), and acceleration of progress. We will hear from the contributors first, and then go back to this discussion.

2. Jeb Bateman – 10 minutes – True Fan and Open Source Consultant – will discuss proposals to increase the True Fans support base by leveraging our existing social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Identi.ca, etc.)

3. Markus – head of the Kansas City Zeitgeist Movement branch – will discuss setting up a local, non-profit branch of OSE in collaboration with the Zeitgeist Movement

4. Neil Kiernan – 10 minutes – Venus TV director, spokesman for the Venus Project – his expertise is political organizing. We consider the CEB product release as one step towards a Resource Based Economy.

5. Mike Koch – 10 minutes – Open Pario project manager – how to apply Open Pario as a design repository and collaboration platform for OSE hardware development

6. Lawrence Kincheloe – 10 minutes – Factor e Farm home team – discussion of open business model strategy for product release

I would be happy to do features on new projects and constantly report new progress. So please give me “press releases” to talk about what is going on and I will devote a part of every show to doing so, so long as I have material from you to do it.

How about Open Enterprise Model?

You’re on track about Resource-Based Economy (RBE) but when you mention Open Business Model, business implies profiteering. Doesn’t RBE put business to rest? I’d rather we term it Open Resource Model.

I don’t know about the US, but I do see some problems here. Where I live, businesses complain of having to comply with several layers of regulation, from European to the very local. It’s a nightmare, and a LifeTrac is harder to hide than a linux box.

We’ll see how the open-source business model adapts to different locations. In time.

Sorry, there will be no Time Magazine interview on Tuesday. We just got an email that the writer has ‘run the feature idea past her editor and he says it’s too US focused (she’s based in London office).’

I responded that the US focus is but one of the misperceptions about our project…but life goes on.

Exciting times indeed! This is fantastic news and outstanding progress that continues to exceed all normal expectations. I’m looking forward to helping more and already noticing my own projects accelerating as I attempt to catch up with the pace of development there!
