A Very Silly Publications Crisis

I dont believe in my own pride when it comes to sustainability exploration. I nm deligheted to admit my mistakes.

Back in summer of 2006 it seemed very easy to believe we could start an annual 200 - for example the first contributor was Bill Drayton http://www.ned.com/group/ned/fil e/3.44.11884106443/ and his graceful example had made it clear that all his global academy were wirth a similar guide on - Yunus first of all. So I did something very foolish. I have a rough sample list of 50 Collaboration Entrepreneurial Revolution people worthy of the worldwide trust and £5000 to a London journalist to get a book proposal out. Unfortunately whilst he rapidly sent out the survey and had by Auigust 006 got up great 25 responses designed up to the same standards as Drayton interview above, he then said he wanted an advance of £200000 ish pounds- which was not my model nor any publisher's model he could then find. So he wasted months and by then Yunus was Nodel famous and any edge we could have negotiated in full colour glossy guideing of Entrepreneurs had gone puff.

I'd wanted to see the stuff open source everywhere. I want it to hub everywhere http://hubsworld.tv directory . I want it to meta-hub across wherever the top 200 have their global village meetings

http://up200.tv/_wsn/page14.html and replicate franchise experiments for the first time across hemispheres http:/cidaworld.tv I still do. I am quite prepared to sacrifice the color design of World Citizen Travel Guides (give me a snailmail if you want a first edition we have micropubished around 1o learning people we trust most)

SO -if network weavers need colour before content then heaven help us.

CATCH22

But my 2 stucking problems are how to do this so no one journalist ever closes the market again ; and how to find a publisher who understands that he will only sell more books if all the content is open source so those that want to network around 1 person's profiles and colaboration wishes can, whilst CEOs or Bill Gates can have a coffeebook annual atlas that is as biblical in its links as that year collaboration networks around teh world can nominate. Truth is I am a bit stuck on that as I already have £30000 of paid advances on other system changing books. More mathematical ones on mapmaking but still vital if we are ever to chamge being ruled solely by how much is extracted evry 90 days- a maths wherever it governs alone is perfect for compounding loss of human ssutainability as fast as global spins

So I really dont want to finance more journalists -and more content reams- but I am happy to find ways of sharing content with those who might. I fully agree that one on the best ersearchers in the field from the Other place is Clare Mulvany http://exceptional-lives.blogspo t.com (who transparency note I do exhnage anything we can from Dc whgere I am to Dublin where she has now returend)

Meanwhile I do intend to host 1000 people debriefing meetin g in London next year as the 85th birthday of dad , 25th reunuion of internet entrepreneurial revolution and 33rd since the trilogy of surveys on Entrepreneurial Revolution began in The Economist. http://entrepreneurialrevolution .blogspot.com

Ideas on collaboration media and events always welcome. This is simply the greatest open search we could all be flowing round the net or at least the simplest one I can imagine http://wiki.espians.com/User:Ent repreneur76

Look forward to hearing there is an even more open multiplyingh one. Either way I expect we will need revolutiosise publishing sectors to make the msot of peer to peer use of our content.
