Hope others can join me. Does anyone have a tressil table. If no I'll buy one his week. The Food not Bombs one was trashed at an event last year by a drunken man.<br /> Hope to see you all at Wednesday meeting. </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/birmingham-transition-forum#post-1668 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:50:16 +0000 Lizzie Meade 1668@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>The forum seems to work really well, I got my password etc in a matter of seconds, and it’s nice to see the topics laid out so clearly. I now feel like I will be able to follow up my interest in events and hope to get more involved.</p> <p>I guess it will take a little while for people to log on and get used to the forum, but I think its well worth a go, perhaps we could make a regular plugging for it in the emails if there is further interest here.</p> <p>Righto, a little about myself-, I live right in the centre of Sutton Coldfield- (B73), I’m keen to learn more about the application of the transition vision in Birmingham and look forward to positive action particularly with my fellow Suttonians!</p> <p>Thanks very much and hope to see you Wed 10 Jun at The Journey MCC from 7pm! </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/birmingham-transition-forum#post-1658 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:03:07 +0000 treaclemine 1658@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi, Martin. Glad you made it on to the forum OK!</p> <p>Do you know any of the Freecycle Solihull people - might some of them be interested in a Transition Solihull group: <a href="http://www.freecycle.org/group/UK/West%20Midlands/Solihull" rel="nofollow">http://www.freecycle.org/group/UK/West%20Midlands/Solihull</a></p> <p>I will just go and start a new Transition Solihull thread ... </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/birmingham-transition-forum#post-1649 Fri, 29 May 2009 10:30:45 +0000 MartinD 1649@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi, Martin D here. Wanted to support you and try out the forum - all seems simple enough! I'm actually based in Shirley (part of Solihull) - is there anyone else from my neck of the woods who might like to explore a bit more about Transition Solihull, or is Solihull too wealthy to have to consider that at the moment (snigger)?? </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/birmingham-transition-forum#post-1646 Thu, 28 May 2009 21:50:26 +0000 treaclemine 1646@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Amanda here! I will post a link to this topic on the Transition Brum Discuss email list. </p> <p>Perhaps we can explore over the next few days how well this forum works for us for discussion, and then report back to the Hub Second Wednesday for June, on Wed 10 Jun at The Journey MCC from 7pm: <a href="http://transition-brum.wikispot.org/Contact" rel="nofollow">http://transition-brum.wikispot.org/Contact</a></p> <p>Is anyone here interested in facilitating a showing of The Power of Community film in their Birmingham neighbourhood over the next few months? I'd like to put my hand up and ask for expressions of support - I'll do my best to support showings elsewhere around the city in my turn!</p> <p>For non-Birmingham readers ... Transition Brum is still mulling, seeing if a consensus is emerging about how to move forward. One possibility is that one of our (huge!) wards will 'go critical' and start to form a Ward-level Transition Neighbourhood Initiative, which will then help everyone else in Birmingham to move forward, and enable the formation of an official Transition Birmingham with a formal Hub structure. Any guidance on that process, gratefully received!</p> <p>Is there a consensus amongst Birmingham people about the focus for our June Second Wednesday - is it 'Steps toward an Official Transition Initiative in Birmingham'? </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/birmingham-transition-forum#post-1623 Mon, 25 May 2009 13:46:28 +0000 Oz 1623@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Amanda has suggested that all us Birmingham Transitioners check out this Transition Town Forum as a possible tool for Transition Birmingham.</p> <p>So, if you are Birmingham based and are reading this please leave a post to introduce yourself.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Oz </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/cohousing-opportunity-near-hay-on-wye#post-1602 Sat, 16 May 2009 08:16:55 +0000 lshorthouse 1602@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>local co-housing group we hope to buy together at Hay on Wye</p> <p><a href="http://www.hayes.gb.com/Property/Residential/for-sale/HayonWye/Herefordshire/HSL305.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.hayes.gb.com/Property/Residential/for-sale/HayonWye/Herefordshire/HSL305.aspx</a></p> <p>we do not want to advertise openly but do want to have others join us at Hay on Wye so...........<br /> Would you be kind enough to forward this email to anyone around you who maybe interested to come to Hay on Wye with us<br /> also<br /> If you have others ideas of good websites to advertise this co-housing please send links for me<br /> WITH THANKS<br /> Lynn </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/some-questions-about-how-the-forum-works#post-936 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:26:39 +0000 danaktivix 936@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>I know: I can only see it when I'm logged in. I've just re-posted and the same happened. I wonder if it's because I included a link...</p> <p><a href="http://cafehayek.typepad.com/hayek/2005/03/trust_faith_and.html" rel="nofollow">http://cafehayek.typepad.com/hayek/2005/03/trust_faith_and.html</a> </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/some-questions-about-how-the-forum-works#post-932 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 09:38:25 +0000 josiah 932@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi Dan</p> <p>I can't see your post in the research forum - as far as I can see the last comment in the thread you linked to is from Jody and was posted a month ago... </p> <p>Josiah </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/some-questions-about-how-the-forum-works#post-931 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:44:41 +0000 danaktivix 931@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I've just signed up to the forum and sent my first post (to the research forum.) A few questions:</p> <p>1. Though my post appears when I'm logged in, it's not visible when I'm not logged in. Is this because it needs approval from the forum creator first? If so, this needs to be explicitly stated somewhere: it's confusing. If not - there's a problem. The forum:</p> <p><a href="http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic.php?id=80&#38;replies=4" rel="nofollow">http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic.php?id=80&#38;replies=4</a></p> <p>2. Currently there's no option to receive an email if a favourite gets a reply. There is a plugin for this:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/</a></p> <p>3. There's no forum topic or contact for this kind of question: it's not clear where to post technical questions like this. (Hence why I'm posting here.)</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dan </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/complementary-currencies-in-drupal#post-669 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:01:18 +0000 Anonymous 669@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Hi there.</p> <p>I'm a software developer keen on open source software and economics. I've bookmarked your proposal and look forward to reading it!</p> <p>-Rob </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/complementary-currencies-in-drupal#post-656 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:21:48 +0000 matslats 656@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Thanks Dawn, I talked to community exchange.org a couple of years ago and while they were happy for schemes to join and play by their rules, they weren't giving away any software. It's not clear to me from the site at the moment if they have changed their stance.<br /> I'm about to launch an alpha of the drupal modules and I'd really like to see transition towns benefitting from Drupal and open source ethics. There is still room to change the scope and add features. What's needed next is a community to trial the software!<br /> Matthew </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/complementary-currencies-in-drupal#post-649 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:52:16 +0000 dawn 649@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Depending on how far you've got, you might be interested in looking at <a href="http://www.community-exchange.org" rel="nofollow">www.community-exchange.org</a> an existing complementary currency software solution which already incorporates 90 groups in 13 countries. Anyone can apply to have their existing LETS group added to this network, or to start a new group using the software. </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/complementary-currencies-in-drupal#post-338 Sat, 10 May 2008 18:41:13 +0000 matslats 338@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>I understand that the transition town movement is broadly supportive of complementary currencies such as LETS and timebanks.</p> <p>I'm building complementary currency package for Drupal 6 and I need an expert to give me pointers. Later I'll be looking for people to write documentation, and package it and trial it and help the first communities get on board.</p> <p>For more see <a href="http://bazaar.matslats.net" rel="nofollow">http://bazaar.matslats.net</a> </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/sharing-resources#post-328 Tue, 06 May 2008 21:46:13 +0000 LucySkywalker 328@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Yes, yes, I too want to see a global Transition place for sharing resources. I like the Aotearoa website Judith. I've felt that perhaps with a bit of tweaking this Transition Net wiki could be such a place. But I want to see the left hand panel redesigned to make a more comprehensive content more easily reachable. </p> <p>I haven't yet mastered the pmWiki this uses, and meanwhile I designed a whole website to try to compass Transition - <a href="http://www.greenworldtrust.org.uk." rel="nofollow">www.greenworldtrust.org.uk.</a> I'd like to cut it up to repaste on a proper Transition resources wiki where we can all build new pages like in Wikipedia.</p> <p>One thing I've done that IS a resource I want to flag up, is a nice presentation of all the Open Space workshops at the Conference: grouped by interests and made visible yet legible side-by-side: </p> <p><a href="http://www.greenworldtrust.org.uk/TT/OpenSpaces2008.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.greenworldtrust.org.uk/TT/OpenSpaces2008.htm</a> </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/sharing-resources#post-300 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:54:22 +0000 JudithN 300@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>Yes, yes, yes -- from the US! Such a thing would be wonderful! (although we'd have to fix the spelling ;-)</p> <p>James Samuel et al. have a nice thing going in NZ at <a href="http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/index.php/Resources/Resources." rel="nofollow">http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/index.php/Resources/Resources.</a> I'd be interested in evolving ideas of best practices on how to: connect with city government, work with local organizations (environmental, church, educational, social, etc), do awareness-raising events (frequency, engaging participants, etc), do outreach (tabling, media, etc), keep people engaged in personal transition, build connections among residents, etc. Obviously a lot of this might be influenced by locale and much of it is at least touched on in the Transition Handbook. </p> http://transitiontowns.org/forum/topic/sharing-resources#post-293 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:59:51 +0000 RichardRobinson 293@http://transitiontowns.org/forum/ <p>The South East Transition Initiatives (SETi) group, who met last week in Lewes, would like to create a toolbox for all those handy things that could be shared among many TT initiatives - a resource map of anything from pamphlets to presentations to a sort of skills-and-experience who's who to advice on how to run an unleashing to organisational stuff to... You name it! </p> <p>Pointers to such materials could easily be created on the Wiki, but I'm not sure about the materials themselves. Also they need organising, which anyone who has done that sort of thing will know takes time and effort. </p> <p>So... Does such a thing already exist, and if not, would people like one to be created? And if so, what exactly would they like it to be like? </p>
