The important issue right this very moment, I think, is the one Niles has raised. How might you create a 'reboot seed' (is there a technical term for such things, if we were to go with a computer science analogy?) that somehow avoids compromising specific individuals? Perhaps not, but let's at least *attempt* a little creative brainstorming here...

Why not publish the design pattern that the Zero State is using for its superstructure? hackerspaces.org has documented numerous design patterns that a small group can choose from if they want to bootstrap a hackerspace. All of them are formal descriptions of how hackerspaces did it so new ones don't have to reinvent the wheel: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Design_Patterns Telecomix has not only documented the quasi-design pattern of their collective but they've run workshops at conferences to teach other people how to do it. Alvin Toffler would be proud. Note that I'm not able to reach their wiki from work right now, others might be able to: werebuild.telecomix.org What I'm suggesting is that we take a page from the Hakatak Records Manifesto. Once we've got a good working structure and set of resources, let's document them someplace and make sure that everyone can access them. All it would take is a single copy of the design pattern document/software bundle to bootstrap another Zero State (-like group) somewhere else. If anything does happen, the bundle can be leaked for others to download and make use of; or some of us could use it to re-bootstrap. -- The Doctor [412/724/301/703] [ZS] https://drwho.virtadpt.net/ "I am everywhere." -- -- Zero State mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/DoctrineZero ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
