Networking, object managing frameworks like Zope , Twisted , Django slither along in the undergrowth [2], and are occupying their space in the “web 2.0” universe [3]. Video sharing communities like EngageMedia are themselves based off such community built systems [4]. Collaborative CMS apps like Drupal, MediaWiki, and WordPress, irradiate out from another active developer community, generating weblogs, wikis, collaborative news, and group editable encyclopedias [5]. Twisting up the strands of open protocols, and networked commodity hardware you can create communications structures such as real-time group text chat and instant messaging – ie, IRC networks, VOIP (voice over IP), email lists, and then link them all back together [6]. These systems help loop different communities back into the information commons, recursively amplifying feedback between participants and projects [7]."</DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; ">>></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><A href="mailto:sethkeen@internode.on.net">sethkeen@internode.on.net</A></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><A href="http://www.sethkeen.net/blog/">http://www.sethkeen.net/blog/</A></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "><A href="http://www.networkcultures.org/videovortex/">http://www.networkcultures.org/videovortex/</A></SPAN></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 13px; ; font-size: 11px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; "></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 13px; ; font-size: 11px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
