Invite some friends on your next trip.

So, the fine folks over at ourproject.org have approved a new project tentatively titled the OpenSociety Project. ourproject.org is a wiki farm that provides wiki space to projects which share information using some kind of open/free sharing license, and I recommend checking them out for your next information-sharing project, software-related or otherwise.

The purpose of the OpenSociety Project (weblink to be added soon) is to present the various ideas for the future of human society whether conceptual, experimental, struggling, or wherever in a format that encourages collaboration and derivative works.

Imagine the ideas of Noam Chomsky nestled between a Rainbow gathering you once attended and an ex-pat commune making a go in Costa Rica. Imagine creating and editing a page with your own ideas that could link to Kropotkin Farming Collectives and the Venus Project. Imagine people freely sharing ideas and then taking action thereby inspiring you to take further action yourself. Imagine the democracy of the future beginning now, and the days of chasing votes and referendums becoming a thing of the past.

I hope I have inspired you to check out ourproject.org and to stay tuned for more about the OpenSociety Project as I am able to play around with the wiki and have something worth looking at =-)
