What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
- Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)

Latest Activity -- Who's Doing What...
John Comeau liked David E Greenwald's discussion Half of world is involved in System D (the underground - the informal sector)
Del Anderson commented on John Comeau's blog post 'infiltrating your local HamWatch, #Occupy'"Hi all,
Hamwatch looks like a good site. We also have the Radio Communications group here on Transition. There is also The American Preparedness Radio Net on which prepareness topics are discussed. The TAPRN is on 3.818mhz LSB at 9pm Eastern on Sun…"
Judith Newton commented on John Comeau's blog post 'infiltrating your local HamWatch, #Occupy'"Great. I've got a Yaesu, handheld, as well. I'm gonna check this out. ~Judith (KI6 PVP)"
John Comeau commented on John Comeau's blog post 'infiltrating your local HamWatch, #Occupy'"yep, meant to sign my post KE5TFZ. thanks! do you have a radio? I'm fortunate to have a Yaesu VX7R my kayaking friend and fellow ham W1EJ sold it to me at cost."
Judith Newton commented on John Comeau's blog post 'infiltrating your local HamWatch, #Occupy'"Hey John -- Thanks for this. I got my Technician's license in '09 and have not yet put it to much use. Are you a Ham? ~Judith (Cotati)"
John Comeau posted a blog postinfiltrating your local HamWatch, #Occupy
The national HamWatch (http://www.hamwatch.me/) is sprouting chapters all over the US, tied to other disaster relief networks such as CERT, NERT, and ACS. Transitioners might do well to get their amateur radio licenses and get involved with these already-existing groups of people who feel a sense of community. Your local #OccupyWallStreet spinoff is also fertile ground for sharing Transition ideas. At least here in Petaluma, there are several Burners…See More
John Comeau commented on Terry Fowler's blog post 'Occupiers are all about the meaning of place'"David, the cry of "foul" is all the mainstream media have to say about it, and in fact most won't cover it at all unless infiltrators start smashing windows or throwing stuff at the police. The best way to find out what's going…"
John Comeau replied to Les Squires's discussion 'Introductions and Experiences with Local Currencies' in the group Nighthawk Traders"Hi Matthew, I just tried creating an account at communityforge.net, using Google Chrome on Linux, and after filling out and submitting the form, simply got returned to the home page, no account created and no error message indicating what I might…"
John Comeau replied to Les Squires's discussion 'Introductions and Experiences with Local Currencies' in the group Nighthawk Traders"That makes sense. Lawns should instead be gardens, and trees lining the roads should be fruit trees, but there is no incentive for Joe Average, or Average Town or Average City, to do that. Instead he fertilizes his toxic lawn and his toxic flowers,…"
John Comeau replied to Les Squires's discussion 'Introductions and Experiences with Local Currencies' in the group Nighthawk Traders"Hi, I have a home on the New Mexico/Mexico border but am currently living in Petaluma, CA. I've read a lot, done little up to now, starting with Ralph Borsodi's Constant back in the 70's, Rheingold and Lietaer in the early 00's,…"

There's perhaps no question I'm asked more often than "What about Local Currencies?" So I'm starting a study group on alternative forms of community trading. Register your interest! Soon we will begin building a prototype.See More
John Comeau commented on Les Squires's blog post 'GLOBAL TRANSITION IN ACTION -- Complementary Currencies -- Creating Our Own Money Intro & Examples'"These links aren't working for me. A brief glance at the HTML shows no anchor tags."

On the local scene, does Columbus (or some broader geographic area) have a Transition-supporting website, or blog, or listserv, or Facebook, or Meetup? If so, it would be spot on for all our members if you would consider including a link to Columbus in our registry of organizations, localities, companies, products, services, Twitterers, Facebooks, Meetups, etc. supporting Transition and Sustainability. Here's the page to create the link -- http://transitioninaction.com/groups/group/new. I'll be glad to help launch and build your link. What do you think...? Do you want to do it?
You can see all our 315+ groups at http://transitioninaction.com/groups. Use Search on this page to find a specific group. Join as many as you like. Let me know when you have questions about details.
One more thing. It would be super to see your photo -- Choose File on http://transitioninaction.com/profiles/settings/editProfileInfo -- Let me know if you need assistance. I'll be delighted to do some photoshopping if needed.
