I want to know more about what other people are saying about networks and online networks of networks

It relates to the theme of my last dadamac.net blog - http://www.dadamac.net/blog/20110228/networks-within-networks

It is a continual theme in my thinking - wish I had time to delve much deeper into this link

Winter Camp 2009, Report; From Weak Ties to Organized Networks – Ideas, reports and Critiques.

About the publication: In March 2009 the Institute of Network Cultures brought 12 networks to Amsterdam for a week of getting things done. Aim of Winter Camp was to connect the virtual with the real in order to find out how distributed social networks can collaborate more effectively. The more people start working together online, the more urgent it becomes to develop sustainable network models. Do we just go online to gather ‘friends’ or do we get organized and utilize these tools to provoke real change in how we work together? How do networks deal with difference, decision making and economic issues? Together with 28 online interviews, this report provides a comprehensive overview of the general issues that the participating networks dealt with during Winter Camp.
