Hey guys!

I had a coffee with a programmer friend a few days ago. Him and some people are working on database and event management software – I won’t geek out about the details, but I’ll just say that the applications they showed me were quite complex and cool.

He was quite interested in the EASA stuff that I explained to him and would like to know more. So, is there any presentation from the archive group (wouter?) that I could use to explain the whole thing to them further, just to get more info?

The prices for these things are supposed to range from 12000 eur at a professional company to 3000-4000 eur with freelances (for website and database code, no design), all depending on the specifications.

i looked up if there is easa entry in wikipedia and there is one en.wikipedia.org

but i really think we should work a bit on this and create a better stub.
i would be happy to work on this with someone who is also interested. think that doing this while this amazing work of updating easa guide is taking place should be smartest.
what do you think?

for all the EASA Guide lovers here we go!
www.akstudio.org
all the changes are in red so if you want to compare you can just read it with the old one in the other hand.
some things need a lot of work still and the Glossario part is ready to be started!
also the Hub and the Appendix just have the collocation and no development stil

greetings from beautiful busy barcelona, the clowns home has been destroyed.
¿but who knows what that might lead to?
perhaps the following…

ADAPTION
”adjusting to dramatic shifts in society”
or the unfolding story of the ecological spiritual revolution,
¿from Eire to New York to Sarajevo to India to Vis to Banja Luka to Frilande to la Condition Publique to Venice to Barcelona to …?

EASA 2008 – Ireland + pirate hijacking of Venice architectural bienalle 2008

”Old Irish folklore associates the past with the West, while the future lies in the east. In the vernacular architecture of the countryside, houses turned their back to the west and face east towards the bright future, the rising sun.”
EASA 2008 – Ireland – easa.antville.org

www.irish-architecture.com photos, discussion

ADAPTION intro…
”adjusting to dramatic shifts in society”
id propose the argument that finding how to live sustainably is what matters, and from finding out the theory, putting it into practice. difficult, yes. possible, yes

hijack growing idea…
we are talking about the ecological spiritual revolution which has been underway for some while, and came from a lovely discussion in metavilla with Lucien Kroll and our Cuban pirate friends
Lucien Kroll: Moments D`Architectures
easa.antville.org

from that 2 things are the arguments that make up this pleasent story;
1 – the paradigm shift in society that fritjof capra mentioned
www.ecotecture.com
(see west to east thinking as base of shift in terms of revolutionary change in worldview, thesis of his book tao of physics – www.amazon.co.uk )
2 – “the signifigance of the global ecovillage movement”, an essay by Ted Turner from EUROTOPIA, directory of intentional communities
socialwork.arts.unsw.edu.au

from reading and researching these intros, we will take you to the second part of the project:
2007, a year of ecological spiritual revolution
joining 2 bits to the equation:
1- 50 years on from Vinoba Bhave´s (Mahatma Gandhi´s successor) proclamation
”let the year 1957 be the year of revolution (a pacifist, sustainable, poverty aleviating one)
www.rmaf.org.ph
2- 1936 and the year of the successfull anarchist revolution in the city of Barcelona:
Anarchism in Spain (wiki) en.wikipedia.org
The Spanish Revolution (1936) struggle.ws

who knows what next year will lead to…
presently there are circus occupations of Barcelona´s main square and the tearing down of squatted social centre circus and theatres:
La Makabra is being evicted!
barcelona.indymedia.org
Barcelona: 3 early morning raids on 3 squats, including MAKABRA
indymedia.ie


2008 – irish EASA and global pirate hijacking of Venice Architectural Bienalle

pirate hijacking of Venice Architectural Bienalle, plans underway and preparions being built in the pirate university which is presently based out of Barcelona, but soon to be expanded through the harambee project:

Pirate University (barcelona, but sure to quickly spread)
www.universitatpirata.org

HARAMBEE : widening the discussion
www.indymedia.ie
GLOBAL RADIO NODES ON WSF:
wiki.radiolivre.org
building up the RADICAL radio network
indymedia.ie

this is just to get things going, we have not had time yet to edit and make more clear concise and easy to understand, we hope you can sift through the ideas and links, like the idea and help us, as changing the world does require a fair amount of donkey work, but it pays off: “le pur plaisur d´exister”….
so if you want to help us to…

radically change the world

so your babies babies babies….
have somewhere safe, beatiful, healthy, enjoyable to live.
please hop onboard the idea and plug into the network…


this is our pirate ship for this journey, enjoy your ride

like all these projects it is an open system, so all are welcome to participate and enjoy…

over and out, back now to the streets

messy pirate, dunk
and/or
little donkey worker clown, Asinito Mc’Asal
