As many of you already know, 5 Brothers Enterprises LLC. has an event scheduled for today entitled CBPP. I have been very interested in the 5 Brothers site becasue it is a name that has been linked with the Jackson brothers in relation to entertainment projects that they are launching. After a little research into the subject of CBPP I found the following information on wikipedia that was interesting regarding what a CBPP event could be:
Commons-based peer production is a term coined by Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler to describe a new model of economic production in which the creative energy of large numbers of people is coordinated (usually with the aid of the Internet) into large, meaningful projects mostly without traditional hierarchical organization (and often, but not always, without or with decentralized financial compensation).
This was interesting to me because it relates to what we have all been doing for the last year; coming together throughout the world via the internet, to work on a meaningful project (Michael's msg.) The article goes on to say the following:
"People participate in peer production communities for a wide range of intrinsic and self-interested reasons....basically, people who participate in peer production communities love it. They feel passionate about their particular area of expertise and revel in creating something new or better."
Also of interest:
The term was first introduced in Benkler's seminal paper Coase's Penguin Penguin dance anyone?? :D
The fact that this was listed as a global event also made me think that this could be what 5 bros. enterprises was referring to. The use of the internet would be the only way to truly involve the entire world in one event.
While we use these forums to uncover the truth we have also been able to come together with our own areas of expertise to promote the msg of LOVE!! Maybe today July 7th will be a day where our energy will truly be harnessed to communicate an important idea in the message!! Its exciting to think we are not only investigating truth, but that we could be a part of the plan!!
