       I'm interested in [[Open Source Licensing]], community, co-operative models. Pooling capital and collaboration. I'm the founder of [[Fission]]. In Canada I help run the [[CoSocial]] Community Co-op. In Vancouver, I'm one of the organizers of [[DWebYVR]]. I like to cook & eat and have a [[FoodWiki]].

Open source code and related open data goods are very common, but peer production and [[co-op]] structures can and should be applied to many more things.
