Breaking Views from ClubofLondon current #1 in collaboration knowledge city bookmarks (votes over 40 million)

This week saw world water day come and go with less than a ripple. Did Londoners know how they could have contributed more news on this around the world? no matter

Next week is arguably the biggest in the calendar for gifts to the world Londoners as number 1 collaboration knowledge city can start up, and make the next 6 years marathon of make poverty history connect all around the world

With Al Gore visiting the twin cities of London and Oxford, we cannot imagine a better time to Launch the Social Entrepreneur Olympics. The game is to have got 30 gravity pursuits of social entrepreneur world champions into the public consciousness by 2012 as much as the top 30 sports.

All we need is love and courage to cheerlead cross-cultural creativity's waves:

The Livingstone has got us off to a great start; he has declared there will be no sporting Olympics in London in 2012 unless they are carbon free - turn up the heat on every politician since only photosynthesis innovations can produce clean energy of that sustainability magnitude. Make sure all those who host Al Gore events debrief him as the clock to 2012 counts down

The lessons to be learnt from Make Poverty History from pop stars down can be an epiphany if University of Stars and the BBC turn their minds to the greater transparencies (eg end all country corruptions) needed if Make Poverty History is to be a reality network not just an image-making one

So that's 28 more gravity pursuits we need to celebrate around social entrepreneurs with as much gusto as the 20th Century hailed sporting stars

We are reminded of one Harrison Owen story I should tell because open spacing education is a social entrepreneur pursuit every family can stand up for whereas we cannot all help on the ground with projects in Africa or in the roofs that algae use to convert the sunshine into cleansing energy banks.

He was studying to be a priest around the Washington Dc area. It was a time when Martin Luther King was having a dream. Harrison can't recall quite how it happened but he was standing in a civil rights field in a crowd of African Americans - one tall lanky white man. The police were beginning to charge on the crowd and Harrison was feeling quite scared. That is until a 7 year old black girl came up to him - and said Mister will you hold my hand

Since that day, Harrison gave up the priesthood to the chagrin of most of his family. And is one of the handfuls of people who most interconnects conflict resolution facilitators around the world. Their networks criss-cross all religions that believe in golden rules of reciprocity such as so unto another what you want done unto you. They also connect mathematically - if Einstein is correct here at http://clubofdc.blogspot.com - to Gandhi as the greatest inventor of peaceful social entrepreneurial revolution that 144 years of The Economist's coverage of this most productive of all professions.

If some of this post makes sense to you, why not re-edit the parts you like and send it to the board of Governors of the BBC, and should you wish Tony Blair or another politician well with their legacy why not copy them in to. We the British people, not any of our political representatives own the BBC. We have invested way over 50 billion pounds in this corporation. On a personal note to all scots- may I ask whether you feel the inventor of television would feel proud of a television where every big debate is framed one dimensionally around short-term left and right rivals or whomever is looking fore a job with big business if the party does not turn out Trumps for their apprenticeship to network power.

It is high noon for the BBC with its 10 year licence determined by and for the people in the year of 2o06. Please could our world service be one of British Character we can feel both pride and humility in searching for. Please free your journalists for humanity to take a fearless lead in realising this open source script from 1984 , so that trust across peoples everywhere begins to flow through every documentary inquiry that has anything to do with world peace or nightly newscast on poverty's challenges through 2012 - and through these communications help the British to get to know 30 gravity pursuits of Social Entrepreneurs with as much joy and attention as the 30 sports it spend most public licence fees on. Hey when Brits helped to invent most of these sports we surely never intended they would take over from greater British realities of world service, through believing in CommonWealth principles and our Queen's higher order right to ask us as she did in her end of 2005 broadcast to unite in preventing globalisation from turning humanity on itself.

For the same of deeper democracy blossoming and connecting every coordinate on earth, you can also play a jigsaw mapping game aimed at sustaining 2 million global villages. Here's part of my family's tree which may open up some useful connections- what connections could your family tree or that of your peer networks open source. If you can make a "peer or family tree" picture why don't we play the mixed networking games of swap and snap. If we are going to turn around globalisation’s exponentials sustainably in time, we are all going to have to work with whatever grassroots community contexts up we can help each other navigate. No lead is too small as long as it is one you intend to gravitate transparently around as part of you lifelong learning mission. We need to help change children's education now so that the core human rights of freedom and happiness have a chance to breathe nature's clean waters, airs and energies everyone human beings sing her praises. Let's all turn up the courage through every family in the land and into wherever co-mentoring networks in internet space may take A B C D E F you

Hi Sofia dear cc

Thanks Sofia for phoning- looking forward to our breakfast meeting at 9 at Nightingale in Balham (tomorrow Thursday)

A penny dropped from on high on me at a complex couple of network meetings yesterday where architects and open source people are debating how a billion dollars investment needs to be planted in the photosythesis sector of clean energy (which is the only energy stream our "death of distance" preneurial archives have wholly had time for since 1984)
http://entrepreneurialrevolution.blogspot.com/1999/12/make-your-foundations-transparent-more.html

For the purposes of the most urgent social and sustainability innovations it does not matter what knowledge I have or an organsiation I have only what focal knowledge connects through a circle of people who wholly trust each other. I wonder if that is what our soul from Be the Change's bridge was simply trying to say-perhaps maz who met him that day can chip in. http://www.empowermentillustrated.com/mtarchive/000657.html

This is at least a different game to play social and productivity networks with, and one I must make sure i represented at the next Macrae-linked Oxford Union debate against being bureaucratised by the European Union's machine view of knowledge;

equally, we could see if we can develop a coaching module. I'd be keen to recommend a coach around 30000 project networks which need to emerge around http://project30000.blogspot.com

And now heading towrads one of your life missions. If you are going to be the twin world trade bridge between London and Bolivia, or indeed and richer poorer trading couple, I'd strongly recommend establishing rapport at www.omidyar.net Basically if anyone is aiming to sustain anything through microfinance, then there is unlikely to be a better open community know to me than this one (in psite of it having so many microconversational crossroads). But this comes back to needing to send dozens of explorers of particular paths into omidyar, and then sharing what trust we find around colaborativelly focussed projects. I haven't had time but this is how you would have a first look at Bolivia's 210 sightings and possible connections in Omidyar http://www.google.com/search?q=bolivia&ie=UTF-8&sitesearch=omidyar.net&x=29&y=2

If anyone I have cc's has got this far, you could take your first trip into microfinace collaboration by changing Bolivia in the above bookmark to whatever is your number 1 focus, and report back waht you find, or join us for a coffee (Nightingale balham tube- whichever exit you take head down the road towards and under the bridge- nightinglae is about 200 yards

Sofia is one of London's deepest alumni trained in facilitating deep democracy www.deep-democracy.net , one of the 3 world ranking methods of conflict resolution- and the one that is doing more sustainability good around Africa than all the leaders of a G7 summit (at least from what I have seen, always delighted to be re-informed) . So if conflict-resolution matters, you can email if tomorrow's coffee is too short notice

sincerely
