Ownut: rent is a 'function' of holding

Beer will be Free as in Freedom (not zero price) when any qualified artisan can bid to rent the Land and Capital needed to produce that beer, and when a contract (perhaps a lease) causes that rent to be a 'function' of holding - so that all the resources are available "at cost", and everyone gets a chance because nobody is allowed to hoard.

Ownut: Food and Drug security through Open Source farming.

'Hi everyone:
My name is Chris Gondek and I am the producer and host of a podcast called "The Invisible Hand". Professor Benkler is my guest for the 4/22/06 show and we discuss the ideas in "The Wealth of Networks". If you are interested in listening to the show, here is the link: http://www.theinvisiblehandpodcast.com/The_Invisible_Hand_Episode_23.mp3

An interview about Yochai Benkler's new book can be found at Openbusiness.cc [[http://www.openbusiness.cc]]

''I'm parking this here temporarily, but maybe we should start an 'Audio' or 'Media' page?

Audio from Benkler's talk, "The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom", given at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law on 27 April 2006: http://dream.sims.berkeley.edu/~jhall/Yochai_Benkler_Boalt_27Apr2006.mp3

[[User:Ownut]]'s beginnings of a summary of this talk:

Social production is sustainable, growing, efficient Mode of Production that is bad for the current model.

Freedom, human agency and autonomy increase when owners allow workers to 'play' with otherwise proprietary resources.

Food and Drug security through Open Source farming.

=== Herbs and Wikis ===

I was interested to find your photos of herbs on your web site.

Have you thought about integrating them into a wiki on the properties of herbs? If so, I would be interested in finding out more. - [[User:Grandpa Ruh|gr]]

Wikipedia would be a better (much more complete) source for herb 'properties'.

I will be offering permaculture seeds (and land and tools) for "Free as in Freedom" as soon as the "General Public Lease" is finished.

Ownut: Commons Based Beer Production

We can't GPL beer, but we can GPL the Land and Capital need to make beer. Then we'll have "Commons Based Beer Production", where any (qualified) peer can bid to access those resources "at cost".

Well, yes, but I have not yet written the wiki I want... It must support the PlainLink specification (and will look _much_ better than my current experiment.)

I know C/C++ very well, but was looking into PHP, then Perl, and have now somewhat settled on Ruby the last few weeks.

But if you are interested in growing herbs, you can receive them for FreeAsInFreedom through my first attempt at starting a business/organization/foundation I call The Personal Sovereignty Foundation.

Ideas for how to help the wiki grow and be useful

2006-04-19T21:22:47Z

Ownut: pdftohtml?

=Help the Wiki Grow=

* For this to be truly useful, the full text of the book should be integrated with the wiki. Let's put the book's theories into practice.

I tried to use pdftotext and pdftohtml but something is wrong with my libraries?:

: ~/Desktop # pdftohtml Benkler_Wealth_Of_Networks_Chapter_3.pdf
But got:
: /usr/bin/pdftohtml: Symbol `_ZTV9OutputDev' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
: /usr/bin/pdftohtml: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/pdftohtml: undefined symbol: _ZN6PDFDocC1EP9GooStringS1_S1_

* Kathleen Fitzpatrick [http://www.futureofthebook.org/academicpress/2006/04/the_wealth_of_networks.html]:

''"In certain ways, a wiki is of course the ideal format for such a project, allowing as it does for multiple, collaborative authorship and a relatively boundless expansion. But the wiki seems also to maintain a separation between the primary text and its related paratexts -- here are the static PDFs from which the author speaks, and here are the malleable wiki pages on which readers chime in. How might we imagine bringing those voices into closer conversation?"''

* It would be great to have the book's illustrations available for commentary.

* I have just started reading that book and I found many sentences that I have difficulties with understanding. In the spirit of 'peer production' I am thinking about recording a list of such sentences here so that editors of the future version of the book could ease the readers work. Would there be a value in such a list?

:Here are some examples:

: p18 "My own emphasis is on the specific relative roles of market and nonmarket sectors, and how that change anchors the radical decentralization that he too observes, as a matter of sociological observation." (what change?)

: p21 "given that I subject to similar criticism rules styled by their proponents as “property”"

: p29 "High-volume mechanical presses and the telegraph combined with new business practices to change newspapers from small-circulation local efforts into mass media." (what is the predicate here?)

== Welcome ==

Hello [[Yochai_Benkler|Mr. Benkler]], thank you so much for publishing your book under a creative commons licence. I noticed it because of a recommendation on Mr. Lessig's blog. I am already busy reading it. I am a Wikipedian, and I noticed that your article on Wikipedia does not have a photo. As Wikipedia is notoriously short on photos of living people, I thought I would go directly to the source and ask you to upload some photos to the Wikimedia Commons (the common media repository for re-use in all international Wikipedias).

In short: Three photos would be helpful. One portrait, one at your desk and one full size standing, under a free licence as in Wikipedias licence requirement (e.g. CC-BY-SA, GFDL or Public Domain). Thank you so much for your time. It is a great idea with the wiki.

:I forgot to add a link to first steps on Wikimedia Commons (here: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:First_steps/Account First steps]). Pictures cannot be embedded in Wikipedia directly from the web (to safe server load). To upload a picture it is neccessary to
# create an account on Wikimedia Commons (then an '''upload link''' appears on left side of screen)
# upload file from local harddisk
# add basic information in summary field ('''description''': Yochai Benkler '''photographer''' (author):xy '''license''': e.g. <nowiki>{{GFDL}}</nowiki> (these infos are very important)
# When the file is uploaded, the head line <nowiki>[[Image:...jpg]]</nowiki> can be directly embedded in all wikipedias, and the image appears in the article. [[User:Longbow4u|Longbow4u]] 03:48, 18 April 2006 (PDT)
