Open Community Architecture
In a democracy, we are each others' infrastructure. Our geo-social fabric takes inspiration from:
- Dialogue between public and private community spaces
http://theopensourceway.org/wiki/Communities_of_practice
- Good Faith Collaboration = people who share a passion to learn, by interacting regularly, and conscientiously

- Creativity = allowing yourself to make mistakes
- ART = knowing which ones to keep
