Anybody that has good connections with the Transition Core Group: Let them know that Les is not hostile. Neither am I. We have just felt that the community building process is going incredibly slow and NING was there as an available tool. The…

Will the Transition movement go Pattern Language?

A few days ago, Rob Hopkins published a blog post right before the Transition conference which I feel is one of the most positive surprises that I could hope for.



In fact Rob says more or less goodbye to the rigid structure of the 12 transition principles and offers an entirely new - but also old and attractive - approach: Christopher Alexanders pattern… Continue

about the TRANSITION EUROPE NING site ....

TRANSITION EUROPE is a networking site for those interested not only in exploring and/or implementing the Transition model in their community, but also to find quick references and good examples in other communities around Europe and the globe that fit the need - and help to communicate these references and examples.


This website was also inspired by Transition US and its gentle support of self-organising networking structures.

After NING is phasing out free networks and forcing us to consolidate, we move there and to attached venues:
