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)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.
- Experiment by clicking on TOP NEWS vs ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SHARE in the center column -- two types of Latest Activity.
Rob's Way or the Highway??
I won't belabor this, especially since I commented on the same issue when our nings first started.
The word "COMMUNITY" gets way overplayed in this movement -- "overplayed" because it's used but not embodied, especially when leadership in the movement wastes valuable time belittling leadership in other movements.
TEOTWAWKI is here, folks. This is not a fire DRILL. Stop squabbling and keep moving.

Good question, David, I can't find it myself now, though it was here a week ago. Nothing too important, but a couple of years ago I commented on the in-fighting, name-calling and other juvenile silliness of "my way is better than your way, na-na-na!" I think it had to do with people saying they weren't those nasty "lifeboaters", they weren't into "survival". Well, if you're not into surviving, you're, uh, well...dead. The point is, there are many paths, and we need to focus all our energies on doing our best on the path we've chosen, helping others when we can achieve the strength and stability to do that. We have no time or energy surplus for arguing about methods. One must wonder about the people who continue to do just that -- whether perhaps their actual goal isn't distraction, rather than furthering our united cause.
All the best to you,
Caren
