Dadamac's posterous

Dadamac's posterous is where I post a sample of things that have caught my attention, plus occasional things I've written, including open letters. Looking at the list this week I'm encouraged to see several pieces from people who's opinions I respect (John Traxler, Owen Barder, and Michael Gurstein), plus new initiatives, and progress on existing ones. Issues covered included skill sharing,the Commons, education, aid, development, transparency, 21st century organisational strucutres, employment/unemployment and irrigation. There is a common theme although it's not always obvious. Everything has some connection with ICT/digital technology and resulting relationships with knowledge and/or resulting relationships between people.
