Fwd: [maps] The Badgers were productive / important results of taxonomy phone-conference

Sometimes there's english content on the other mailing list. FYI FWDed -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [maps] The Badgers were productive / important results of taxonomy phone-conference Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 20:21:46 +0100 Von: Silke Helfrich <silke.helfrich(a)gmx.de> An: 14mmm temporär <maps(a)list.allmende.io> Hi there, the badgers (taxonomy group) just had a very productive and well attended phone conference: Here is the memory, http://piratepad.net/Telko-20Taxonomy-20TransforMap-20Communities The most important result is, that we came up with a decision of how we will suggest the CATEGORY "SElF-DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITIES" to OSM (that is, which tags will be created for our entry mask) SO: THE COMMUNITIES WE WANT TO SUGGEST FOR OSM AND INCLUDE IN TRANSFORMAP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ARE THE FOLLOWING: solidarity economy transition town initiative permaculture demonetized economy community based currencies Commons Economy for the Common Good collaborative economy Global Ecovillage Network DECISION POSTPONED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES: P2P economy subsistence economy REMEMBER: The identification of a community will be mandatory for TransforMap (but not for OSM), furthermore, there will be a free-text field that allows us to collect more data during the testmapping. This testmapping process will tell us if we need more/other community tags in the future. (@JOSEF -> sorry, but we changed a few things, so you'll need to adapt it in the testionary! As I said - it was a productive meeting. :-) More later, Thanks for this amazing discussion and the shared responsibility in getting it all on track for OSM now All the best Silke _______________________________________________ maps mailing list maps(a)list.allmende.io http://list.allmende.io/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/maps

Commons Mapping Roundup
by Ellen Friedman 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hi, All, I’m writing an essay about commons (and new economy) mapping projects for inclusion in David & Silke’s new book of essays. I’m mentioning the Great Lakes Commons Map, Mapping the Commons (.net and .org), P2PValue, P2P Wikisprint, TransforMap, World of Commons (LabGov), Shareable’s Sharing Cities mapjams, the Solidarity Economy maps, Data Commons Cooperative, Viver Bien, CommonsScope, and Falling Fruit. I’d love to hear what you think of these projects, their importance to the movement, and the value they provide. Please let me know if there are other important projects I may not be aware of, especially ones that aren’t in English. I’m relying primarily on info found on the web, so I welcome updates about projects too. All the best, Ellen Ellen C. Friedman CommonSpark http://commonsparkcollective.org ellen(a)ellenfriedman.com Skype: EllenCFriedman 512.775.3611

Debriefing Degrowth
by jon der gartenkärtner 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Dear lists, following the events at the Degrowth conference, we have some new material to share; please intervene where appropriate to deliver your specialist commitment to our (de?)growing community. Pads: * (english) http://pad.sinnwerkstatt.com/p/14mmm_structure Structure of 14 MMM/transformap.coop process * (german) https://text.allmende.io/p/Degrowth-followup Nächste Meilensteine 2015 * (german) https://piratenpad.de/p/M4YU5hVvrt Protokoll: Arbeitstreffen nach Mapping-Workshop auf Degrowth Konferenz, Leipzig, 03.09.2014 Due to the current downtime of one of those and the historical outages we observed with the piratepad.net-Pads, please help in condensing a long-term documentation of this process. For this reason I have added a Wiki and it's first content page to the MMM/TransforMap "cloud" ( http://blog.14mmm.org , http://discourse.14mmm.org ) * https://wiki.14mmm.org/Degrowth_2014/ This page also contains questions from Degrowth's documentation form that I couldn't answer, yet. You are kindly invited to fill it up with the information from the Pads above, too. --- Still, one of the most urgent requests to be able to sufficiently continue with the 'Mapping the Mappings' process is the demand to get in touch with a lot more tech-savvy people to address infrastructure and Linked Open Data questions. Don't hesitate to set people in contact with me respectively us! Jon PS: Due to the availability of http://discourse.14mmm.org and the recent discussions that have been held on the maps(a)list.allmende.io mailing list, I reserve the right to switch the list to emergency moderation if it not used as an announcement list too often.
