Enough talk, we're building a software ecosystem in India
I'm going to India next month to implement a complementary currency system for a UNESCO community called Auroville. Because I travel light, I can bring three interns with me and cover expenses. First two places are already taken. While we're there I'll be rebuilding the complementary currencies module for drupal, but we also need to make it accessible from outside Drupal, make it compatible with scores of other systems, package it and numerous other things. If we have time Auroville also asked us to design an online democracy system.
A great many people are wringing their hands about the world economy but we are building the tools for a bottom-up economy and delivering them to the better-organised communities. We need whatever skills you have, whether it's AJAX, hosting, basic site building, web design, or more business-oriented skills like PR, sales, strategy.
Demand for these tools is growing and the software is not yet ready to meet it. A handful of implementations have taught us a lot and now the road ahead is straight and clear, but long and there will doubtless be surprises.
Until the project receives more interest from business or philanthropists there will be virtually no pay, but I will cover all living expenses and a good part of the transport costs. I require a verbal commitment of at least four months. Please write telling me
1. Why I should invest my time and money introducing you to the New Economics and possibly mentoring you professionally?
2. What skills and experience you can bring to the project?
3. What are your needs, material or otherwise?
The adventure starts October 1st!

Hi,
congrats for this great initiative! I wish you all the success possible.
I am software engineer, and currently doing exactly the same thing in Brazil, where I am
working on an alternative currency project of totally different type. While I'm coding,
I am trying to make sense of it, as it is not only about currency itself. So I hope
to be able to post something sometime soon.
I am living here on behalf of the initiator of the project, for just foods and lodging.
I'd like to keep in touch with you on progress, maybe there'll be room for cooperation
at some later stage. Let me know how you think to be able to keep in touch -will there
be a homepage, a newsletter, ....?
Thanks
fabio
