Intermission ended

Wow, now prevailed on this blog for almost a half year-end break! It is incredible how time is running relatively straight in relation to projects that have reached no outward momentum, but by internal processes and depend on the activities of one or a few people.

I had in the past few months, not necessarily more important, but safe to do for me personally urgency. Above all, my move to Lower Austria much time and energy has been used. Therefore rested the project based on all external activities.

went Internally, the process continues. Once disturbed thoughts lead a life of its own, disappear now and then as mysterious underground rivers and then abruptly and in a new glow back to bubble to the surface. The fundamental question at least: "How can we use modern communication and organizational forms to develop, manufacture and marketing of our goods to more democratic, fair and crisis-proof?" has not lost its topicality. Also, the set of ideas on how this issue could be addressed specifically and exerimentell has not changed in this passive period. Many references and events of the past half year have encouraged me in the idea even more.

Now I have more time, not just the ideas but also the actions to grant the necessary outlet to take the project one step further. Fortunately I was able to discover that many MitdenkerInnen have not completely passed through the transmit break from the common think-tank.
