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
