Assumpte: Re: [Bricolabs] a question for brico list
thank you all for your feedback,
I still wonder how to make a international network works,
without representation or specials (curators) meetings -
but, maybe I am just optimistic with this list, I don't know why,
maybe because I enter here 'cos someone told me was a international network
and I took it as a chalenge... uau, could this network works? or it is
just a web-list???

We could be more implicated for our meeting in Ubatuba next year,
make something happend between this countries, I'm not sure if it is here
the place to try it,

obs, when I send some video I send it because I think the idea is important
to the list,
like tecnoshamanism or the body in the street - scandals - and I think I
had a kind of participation
in the creation of this network, from Prestes Maia occupation - sao paulo
2003.....

good luck with your eyes patrick
thank you for the web-list neoscience John Hopkins - I'm there now
Im not in london right now, Romanian, im in barcelona going to roma
tomorrow ... so if you have some interesting
thing in roma please let me know

well... * Cultura Digital* is happening in Brazil right now, I'm sure they
are in a very good moment of
meetings, ideas, chalenge, parties, twitter :
https://twitter.com/#!/culturadigital

I will see all the links you send, but of course, I always prefer something
special, at the point,

Let's think about the chalenge: This international network works?
