i've been working with michael linton for the last 12+ years - our first use of open money as a meme resulted in the japan open money project (2001) - http://openmoney.org - my primary contribution has been designing, developing, and organizing community way projects as self-financing start-ups involving businesses as core participants.
i am an organizer of the local peace group, cv friends of cuba, compassion club, and my own urban garden - also participate in seed savers and various other peace, social justice, and eco activities.

I'm not sure how far along we are because I don't know what we will decide and when, but folks are sure anxious to get something going.
Enjoyed connecting with you in Seattle, down here in Ashland Oregon we are doing a community presentation next weekend, and will be speaking to the Community Way model. Do you have a powerpoint, summary, or other material that may be helpful for us??
