Dear Jon,

as a matter of fact I was wondering what happened...!

So you're no longer pursuing "TransformLab" but another project?  Maybe if you write us two lines about it - and in what sense you see our possible contributions - it could help...

Then we can have a chat.

On another point, the development of Transformaps, can you suggest what is the best way to be able to participate to the process - since we haven't really progressed about how to work on the ESSglobal interoperability standards we are continuing to develop and it is hard for non-German speakers to follow ...

Thanks and ciao from Florence (finally Spring here too...)

Jason

Dear Solidary Economists
Jason, Eric and Fernando.


>From my silence you must have concluded the halt of our proposal.
Indeed I've found a beautiful private ~nk€ debt in my papers, which
almost stopped any performance.

But as we are talking about distributed systems here, the work
progressed in another context which Gualter and me are currently supporting.

This proposal could make use of contributions from you and I would be
happy to get in touch about how these could look like.

I'm available on the following channels:

* mailto:post@jonrichter.de
* skype:yalamerde
* hangouts:jon.richter@gmail.com

In further progression of this conversation it will make sense to create
an account on

   https://github.com

,if not done already.
Please provide it within your reply.

And please excuse my recent incapability to deliver appropriate
continuity. I just didn't think about myself.

Most sincerely,
spring greetings from Paris [1],


Jon
