Hi Folks :-)

@Slash
Could you update the schedule? :-)

Hi Alex,

I will be glad to make a presentation on Nov 12.  9:30 PM in Frankfurt works out to 12:30 PM here in San Francisco, which is a good time for me.  Please let me know the details, how we connect and whatever else I need to know.  I found the recordings at http://www.facebook.com/Metagovernment and will try to listen. 

Copying Flemming Funch, who is the InterMix programmer in case he might want to be there as well.

Most of the time, the talks happen on mondays 9.30 pm (+1 UTC)

Next free slot would be 12th of November.

kind regards

If I understand it, Michael, Vilfredo is more complex than InterMix in that it has various phases as a topic is considered and reconsidered.  InterMix has been kept simple in the hopes of bringing in large numbers.  We are soon to begin a testing phase with one group being the new InterMix Steering Committee.  My plan is to follow the direction given by the Steering Committee, so the project becomes self-guided.  If you or anyone else reading this would like to take part, please send me a separate email with: Name, email, gender, age (youth, middle aged, senior) and country of origin.

Welcome Roger,

The mechanism of InterMix (if I understand) reminds me of Vilfredo,
but the possibility of creative literary apps (you mention poetry)
reminds me of recombinant text.  Recombinant text is what brought me
to work in e-democracy in the first place, but my earlier prototypes
were literary apps.
