Date Thursday October 11 11.15 Photosynthesis Cafe (question expert: rick nelson)

12.30 Malaria and community transparency for grassroots health Cafe (question expert: peter burgess)

1.45 Yunus WorldCitizen Challenge Cafe: will your city be first to interact 1000 people meta-collaboration Yunus Forum (question connector: chris macrae)

venue Olive Cafe location: 117 McDougal Street which is close to West 3rd Street just South of Washington Park. --------------------------------- More details- 11.15 is a replay of a cafe in London's festival last month. Rick's photosynthesis architecture and agriculture inventions open up a world of clean energy and clean food abundance. But they conflict with most existing channels and professional interests. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C ToYjQFRxXE we believe he's a classic test case of an open source entrepreneurial revolutionary that citizens could network sustainability around - but will we? Rick aims to respond to Taddy Blecher’s request at CIDA Free University (S. Africa) to open source practical peer to peer curricula for sustainability entrepreneurs and wishes to show that photosynthesis architecture around a slum like Kibera would be a 10 times better carbon reinsurance fund than plant a tree.

12.30 Peter Burgess is a Brit whose retirement projects in New York include end malaria and other transparency networks. After a lifetime spent working in many African countries - sometimes with business and genocide going on side by side - Peter, a chartered accountant, can answer questions on what aspects of empowerment in grassroots communities, global aid seldom reaches. His community intelligence webs: http://immconsortium.org http://tr-ac-net.org

1.45 Londoners have been posed a big question by Muhammad Yunus. Can we survey all our change networks for the 1000 people who would most want to be invited for 2 hours to discuss everyone’s collaboration projects including the social enterprise stock market that http://peoplepower.jp could help emerge. This builds on a London cafe which Mostofa Zaman presented after interning with Yunus in Dhaka this summer on: how can Yunus citizen forums empower maximum change. Yunus has selected the Forum value : "impossible becomes possible if right action, right time, right place, right people". Chris co-authored 1984 netfuture book with his dad, future history leaders editor at The Economist. Death of Distance challenges net generation include mapping 30000 replicable social projects by 2010 http://www.normanmacrae.com/netf uture.html
