Hmmm.

Hmmm. Great new segmentation. Real life grounding is always good. I looked at the 11 hashtags and...well...I'm not in. 
Briefly thought maybe I don't have a real life. :) I'll have to think about this.

Life in the Village, part 1: A symphony in eleven movements

A new topic, hosted by two new moderators:

- thanks ever so much, Terry, Margaret, for being you and being here.

Life in the Village: Eleven Themes
The eleven themes are for sharing stories from our lives and what we're up to, as well as helping others engage in the conversations:

1. Wellness and Food   #wellness  
2. Travel and Travelogues   #travelogue
3. Arts, Crafts & Design   #design
4. HowTo's, DIY and all-round tinkering   #howto
5. Open Science   #openscience
6. Good Business   #goodbusiness
7. Fun, Play, Playful Play and Infinite Games #infinitegames
8. Services and Service Innovation #serviceinnovation
9. Transition, Social Capital and Societal Innovation   #transition
10. P2P and new forms of organizing   #p2p
11. New Housing, Placemaking and Permaculture   #newhousing  

Why: Some of the reasons for opening this topic

- handing over moderation to other Conversation Community members
- anchoring our conversations a bit more with life in the village
- sharing glimpses from across the planet
- offering at least one dedicated topic where John Kellden will not mention Biosemiotics
- engaging in conversations making for a space where community members can share, selforganize, feel at home and share stories from our lives
- different themes towards including more members

And a couple of thousand other reasons. To cover Life in the Village through these eleven themes, lenses is of course impossible - which means they can be seen as a beginning smorgasbord, where additional #sharedinterests can be added to the menu. Let's start with the above eleven hashtags for now, and then we can branch out and turn #folksonomy   as we go along...

Put on your Sunday clothes, There's lots of world out there...
Is there anything that doesn't belong here? Well, as long as there's a conversational intent - people posting being present, facilitating fab conversations with others - then pretty much anything goes - as long as it is Village-y.

If it is about Life in the Village, it can be shared here.

How: How do I post stuff in this topic?
Share something from your Life in the Village, select one of the eleven hashtags, eg #design   and press the green button. Engage in the ensuing conversation. That's about it!
