Rethinking Transition as a Pattern Language <http://www.postcarbon.org/blog-post/106680-rethinking-transition-as-a-pattern-language>: an introduction
by Rob Hopkins

snip

* *Viral*: It spreads rapidly and pops up in the most unexpected places
* *Open Source*: It is a model that people shape and take ownership
of and is made available freely
* *Self organizing*: it is not centrally controlled, rather it is
something people take ownership of and make their own
* *Solutions focused*: it is inherently positive, not campaigning
against things, rather setting out a positive vision of a world
that has embraced its limitations
* *Iterative*: it is continually learning from its successes and its
failures and redefining itself, trying to research what is working
and what isn't
* *Clarifying*: it offers a clear explanation of where humanity
finds itself based on the best science available
* *Sensitive to place and scale*: Transition looks different
wherever it goes
* *Historic*: it tries to create a sense of this being an historic
opportunity to do something extraordinary -- and perhaps most
importantly of all
* *Joyful: *if its not fun, you're not doing it right
