[VBbuilders] Tools and Techniques

[Mark Petz]

Hi Franz and Steve and The Silent Majority

I am glad some evaluation is being done. Although at the moment I feel that
there are so many aspects its confusing for people - especially if they want
free software. I note that most people seem to just drift to Google Docs (NB
Google Wave) and Skype and if the features are not there then they just say
oh well let's wait for them, (much in the way that people used to say if it
was not available for Windows they wouldn't use it - and then when it's
available they say how wonderful it is this new piece of Microsoft
software!) So they are not videobridging capable.

For me I want to see 2 locations successfully using VideoBridging and then
they can be providers as a pattern language for the others to copy.
TO my mind these can be Tamera (in Portugal - a research ecovillage) and
(p2p Foundation (in Thailand) as they seem to have the necessary connections
to reach the idea wider and are supportive of the village and community
elements we want. They also crucially have meaningful content and the media
skills to share it.

Other locations are also good but these 2 places have the idea of sharing
built into them and are not overly dependent on just one person with a money
making remit (so they are good potentials for strong centres). Other places
have been good it's true - but they don't share so widely.
