I tend to think that even if at present the project is sleeping, in the future we may assist to historical events where the main idea of Oekonux, that Peer production is a germ of a post-capitalist society, will be more materialized. Then it will be useful to have a place like Oekonux in English to talk about it. We should keep the possibility to "re-open" the list when the need is felt.

Puede ser que los que discuten estén agotados, pero no el tema sobre el que lo hacen. Socialmente sigue vivo. La wertkritik, representada principalmente ahora por A. Jappe, después de la desgraciada muerte de Kurz, tiene claro la poca trascendencia de las TIC, el DIY y la autogestión latinoamericana en un eventual cambio revolucionario. Sin embargo, en España, herederos del cyberpunk han desarrollado toda una teoría al respecto (http://lasindias.org/) y una realidad práctica (http://grupolasindias.coop/sociedad-de-las-indias/). Pero lo más importante, ante la crisis, es la necesidad de sobrevivir, de modo que proyectos críticos minúsculos devienen importantes (http://medialab-prado.es/?lang=en) y masivos en la difusión de ideas y técnicas que se pretenden alternativas al capitalismo y en las que la palabra "mercado" quiere tener un significado diferente.

On the German discussion list the issue of closing down Project Oekonux came up. The reason is that the project is sleeping for so long now and there is nothing to believe that this is going to change again. Although this feels heart-breaking to some people there is a consensus that this is the right thing to do. Of course the web-based resources need to be kept in place. Technical details are to be discussed on the project list. Comments?

I'd like to know more about current efforts to use Linux/Unix-based PCs (which is all PCs nowadays, I think) as time-sharing servers? Aware that Unix was developed for time-shared machines, it occurred to me that maybe there are communities trying to get more use out of personal computers in this way. This is as far as I've got (excerpt from the current draft of the book I'm working on): If you know anything more about this I'd be grateful. It occurs to me that the Linux project (which I think is based in Troy, Michigan) may have something to do with Fritjof Bergmann's 'high-tech self-providing' initiatives, of which you may have heard. 2. I wonder whether anyone is using mobile phones as full-blown computers. They have pretty good processors (several, in the case of smartphones). I assume they merely lack a bus capable of connecting to a vdu, keyboard etc. Is that right? I have heard that there is, or was about </pre> Bob Hughes 2013-04-08T17:52:51 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.politics.oekonux.english/4874 <pre>http://iamdonjuan.com/wp-content/themes/music/yahoolink.php _________________________________ Web-Site: http://www.oekonux.org/ Organization: http://www.oekonux.de/projekt/ Contact: projekt-ayLJJRhU35CELgA04lAiVw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org </pre> Mark Janssen 2013-01-21T20:22:54 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.politics.oekonux.english/4873 <pre>Hi all, I have published a new article, entitled "The Boom of Commons-Based Peer Production". It is part of the new, fat, amazing commons book "The Wealth of the Commons", edited by David Bollier and Silke Helfrich (Levellers Press, Amherst, MA). The article contains the following sections: * The Linux principle * Commons, contributions and cooperation * Free culture and open hardware * The emergence of community-based infrastructures * Two concepts of plenty The full text can be found at http://keimform.de/2012/boom-commons-based-peer-production/ or http://www.wealthofthecommons.org/essay/boom-commons-based-peer-production .

Money is an expression, measure and preserver of congealed abstract labor in the form of abstract value. Once, labour and its products are commoditized every thing else can potentially from sex, to even air and water can become commodties, suply and demand determining their prices, which are distorted expressions of their values.

Since the article is the starting point of a debate, you can treat the series as a preview.
