Open source collaboration info http://ow.ly/XQfg @mifos @akvo @octopusnetwork @dvelo @mykro @kiva @GrameenFdn @wokai @saul @Directgov_i

More details below (and the original message at base)

We have been talking to
http://innovate.direct.gov.uk/
and
http://whowantstobe.co.uk/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tps/planet-pledge-pyramid http://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/

about their collaboration models and would love to help others enhance their great open source software (I understand both sets of software are open source:)

If it were possible to link this software with the open source microfinance software people can give/lend money AND give advice/support/Knowledge (which can be given both ways) AS WELL AS collaboration between teams to solve different problems in the most efficient way. The concept is proposed to the Planet Pledge Pyramid here https://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/idea.php?id=123&_fb_q=1

If this sounds of interest it would be great to use the software to create a Microfinance collaboration platform that uses this not for profit / cooperative business model http://www.Traidmark.org where any surplus funds generated are then invested in NEW Innovative not for profit enterprise using the same model.

I would love to help anyone interested in this.

One example is http://ovc.mo.jo created by the pioneering people at http://www.nesta.org.uk (maybe they could fund this!)

Any programmers want to collaborate to just make this using open source software that already exists I can do the design? The software exists we just need to set it up and improve it! Maybe we can do this with Pledgie helping to enhance your great software?

Do you want to create a open source Collaboration crowdsourced website a bit like KIVA? For example to create a ‘Creativity Collaboration version of KIVA’?! where any funds generated are invested in innovative projects that ‘do good’

Can I work with you on this?

It would be great if it were possible to create away for innovative people to collaborate even easier online by building on your community (maybe with the software theps.net have created) and to create a collaboration and innovation crowdsourced/funded network… (Can I do this for you? though need to work with a programmer to set up the software and i can help do the design…)

It would be great to work for your team to create a innovation and collaboration version of KIVA (so not just loaning money but sharing skills…) but where any surplus funds are then reinvested into new innovations that can solve human problems (like KIVA but based on innovation:)
