Hi all,

Two points:

1. I still have a Facebook and Twitter with the global square name,
something to keep in mind in case the goals of the future
globalsquare.net coincides with or complements the original.

The basic idea with that is to replace the web platforms that are
designed as isolated pages, each sealing a well of user created
information, with a universal database and trust network. This would
allow collaboration to be independent of software platforms and remove
the control of corporations over user created data and relationships. It
would also allow more effective methods of mass communication and
collaboration such as stigmergy and concentric circles.

I have needed this structure for many projects for years and it is just
now that the technology has reached a point that it is viable. This
would trigger a revolution in the way we work in so many fields but most
importantly in allowing us to filter the noise of the Internet and find
verified and knowledgeable information that is not filtered by platform
or our own perceived preferences.

Since the idea is to create a database and trust network as a universal
commons for everyone, I am trying to create a foundation or trust that
includes universities from different countries. The initial code to
create this project is very simple but optimizing it is not! It would
require the assistance of research universities with computer science
departments and the resources to run large tests, both for optimization
of the joins, searches and sharding and then to look for federated
hosting options. (Please feel free to pass on any information, including
my contact, to anyone you know who might be interested in collaborating
in such a structure.)

stigmergy and concentric circles, starts at 2.30:

Workshop at Madrid, explaining use of concentric circles to popularize
Facebook and how concentric circles and stigmergy can be used to move
again to a free database and trust network. Starts at beginning:

2. Regarding a network of legal clinics around the world, if anyone is
working on such a thing please consider collaborating with two
international initiatives, opCanary which has the objective to
"encourage and support people around the world to bring global class
action law suits against resource corporations which violate human
rights and environmental law" and opDeathEaters which looks for "an
independent, international, victim-led tribunal / inquiry into the human
trafficking and pedosadist industry."

All the best to you all,

Heather
