permaculture

That would be great - would be great to make a platform available nationally. 

We're using Time Bank here too and loving it. Recommend it as a community 
builder and gradient approach to local currencies.

Excellent! That is what needs to be done, nationally.
An everything exchange system, through the network
providing goods and or income for everyone involved.

I keep thinking I would like to sink my teeth into developing the online 
resources for a national network. Talk about mobile apps! That too 
though I have no interest in accessing the Web through a cellphone;
laptop and mini netbook, yes. It would be challenging enough to 
replicate what you've done with your database of local resources plus a 
local producer/customer network, with food at its core.

Thanks for the input.

Permaculture Convergences / Conferences

Great wisdom Skeeeta. The 12th European Convergence in a small village
outside Kasel in Germany attended by many across Europe finished last week.
The week earlier saw the first Mediteranean Conference, held in Turkey.

I agree absolutely with all your points but would like to reinforce the
Cross Pollination point. I'm from New Zealand spent a lot of time in
Australia and consult world wide on many many varied projects at many
different levels. I also see a lot of mistakes and very poor design by so
called PC experts flaunting their evangelism. I feel it so very valuable to
absorb all the values of the cross connections and face to face
involvement. I've been commenting on the evolution of the global structure
of Permaculture and how it could function to serve all elements. This is
one reason I support the development of Continental Regional Conferences
and have offered this support comment for a Nth American Conference. Dakota
sounds interesting...seems we'll have a few trees to plant as an integral
component. IPC 11 in Cuba Nov-Dec 2013 is loooking gooood. Steve Hart
