Meet like minded people near you on the map or add your location and create your own community meetup then find others in your area to share your experience with. 1. Find a location 2. Print off poster and put up there 3. Register the location and what you want to do (list what items/skills you have) 4. Go round your neighborhood posting notes through doors about your project (ask for help and collaboration). 5. Raise funds by collecting donations 6. Set up a community cafe to raise funds by giving away free drinks in exchange for donations 7. Create a trust library (MUSTart.org have more details) Example of one project is below...................... FREE ART GIVEAWAY! Was £99.99 Now FREE!

http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains how easy and counter intuitive it is to donate all your net profit to INNOVATIVE charitable work and get richer than if you were to selfishly clasp on to as much of the tiny profit you would generate without using this selfless business structure. If you register as a charity there are also may other advantages and benefits that will contribute to your success and therefore your performance pay. The irony is that people who do not use this are making themselves miss out. As it is free there is only one reason which is ignorance/awareness so  please tell anyone you know so they do not miss out.

The premise is this. As we are all standing on the shoulders of giants by using the wheel, fire, tools to name just a few of our ancestors gifts to us... we are obliged to pass on what we create to future generations by NOT claiming ownership of them but instead working on projects  that are run 'for the people' such as not for profits and charities. The hidden benefits of doing this can only fully be discovered by trying it. For instance when you create this people often find your work and offer to help in unexpected ways that help you personally and professionally.

There are two groups, The have's and the have nots. Those that have wisdom know that selflessly helping others is key. Those that do not have wisdom think that selfishness is key. Both benefit and can collaborate using Traidmark.org

We would like to help anyone wanting to help others. For instance  can
we help you using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business model (where you
get rich with performance pay and you gain from added goodwill created
by donating funds to charity?) This is essentially a cooperative or Not
for Profit but where any surplus funds are invested in NEW Innovative
Not for Profit activity that solves different social problems innovatively.

It solves several issues.
A. It invests any wealth generated into more Innovation creating
Institutional Innovation
B. It stops organisations getting large (large organisations become
inefficient)
C. It stops anyone running any organisation from getting corrupted by
power/wealth as all organisations are small and efficient.
D. It rewards success (through the application of Innovation) in a
clever way that encourages selfless hard work by enabling the successful
people who use the business model to go on an invent then develop new
innovations so they create the freedom co continually make new ways to
help others. It also rewards hard work with performance pay so anyone
motivated by greed can still get rich (without owning the organisation).


Traidmark.org was created to help people like you make the largest impact with your donations. The key is for you to donate to INNOVATIVE new charitable work that is more efficient than traditional charitable work. This is ideally charitable work that solve the cause of a problem in a sustainable way rather than pick up the pieces. Often this can be done by creatively inventing solutions.

Hi

FREEtraid economy and giving ideas to gov...

1.
I love the innovate websites that govenment have created asking for the publics ideas and would love to help make them even better. Well done everyone who made it happen. Can you list all the people who made it happen and who they are so we can send them compliments and free gifts to encourage them to do more (also list what they would like to do next so the community can try to help them to do this!

2.
Also can I pitch a way to reward ALL idea submitters regardless of
their ideas (I know how you can do this for free and benefit and will do
this for you)


For example...

3.
We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a
location for young people to access the internet and collaborate
together all over the world in hard to reach areas and are looking to
produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too. Could
we run this self sustaining project as part of your organisation as it
would be an extra service that increases peoples awareness of your great
work while facilitating collaboration on projects. Development website
at http://openspacecafe.ning.com/. Who should I talk to about creating
Open Space Cafe's with your organisation?

4.
Could @Directgov_i @4ip @nesta all work together to enhance your great work?

5.
Can you please make an online question and answer diagnosis tool for EVERY common medical problem just like the Swine Flu Q&A online tool. @whymandesign would like to help make this happen for you.

6.
Can http://www.oneworldhealth.org and eldy and akvo and Bewelcome.org help creatively enhance your great work? http://www.whymandesign.com would like to help make this happen for you.

How could it best be facilitated so everyone can contribute without comments being lots in the depths of the web? It seams that there is SO much potential for government and the public to achieve using new media. The key appears to be how to communicate this potential and empower everyone to take that step down the rabbit hole of independent innovation and collaboration at everyones own grass roots (though this has been done outside of new tech since just after the beginning of time:). Is there a way to reward individuals to take risks by trying new things and fail/succeed?

The dot com approach of rewarding successful innovation by buying it out appears to work for successful innovation. How best to reward innovators that try things that fail is unclear. It may be best to enable lots of innovators to innovate without rewarding success so that peer review enables success to be rewarded socially while larger volumes or innovation can be facilitated by funding lots of people with smaller amounts.

FREE Institutional Innovation structure that benefits everyone.

Business structures to benefits everyone by creating institutional innovation that will make any organisation innovative more and therefore create better services that then help improve everyone's lives.

Explanation of the benefits from the simple act of donating net profit.

An organisation is trading normally today (or is in difficulty or not making a profit)

The organisation makes the simple change of structure by formally agreeing to donate 100% net profit (after wages/tax/R&D) into innovation and innovative brand new charitable work.

This enables the organisation to get a goodwill value boost overnight which increases the value of the company.

Customers an suppliers and competitors then look on the organisation as a partner rather than a competitor and so will do extra things to help the company grow (loyalty, voluntary, complimentary).

Employees work harder knowing that any extra funds will be used for charitable work (and everyone in the organisation including the founders AND investers can get rich by getting performance pay as they work hard to make the organisation as success).

So everyone wins. The Investers and founder and politicans all win as they get increased productivity and get rich through performance pay and they get to become philanthropists and benefit from getting goodwill (and feeling great about the philanthropic organisation they created) before they get rich (rather than after they are rich which is the way the old philanthropic model works).

So this Traidmark.org business structure builds on the  proven soccess of the Cooperative model where by surplus funds are given out but IMPORTANTLY funnels those funds so they can be used to create innovation that cost effectively can help everyone (aiming to fund future innovations as revolutionary as the wheel / bicycle...)

FREE ART GIVEAWAY!      Was £99.99 Now FREE!

We have created a format for providing locations and infrastructure that
enable people to work together on social projects that also raise funds
for charity and would like to work with you. Is it possible to rent some
of your unused space for a long period of time at a group booking rate?
We want to do this to provide a place for university students/graduates
to collaborate on projects when your space is not in use. If you would like
to collaborate on this please join this group and get in touch.

Make yourself happy and content by giving. Please share your experience of making yourself happy by giving (takes 5 mins and will help someone else)...

We have created a shop where you can purchase all the things you need (if you dont already have them) to create an Instant Cafe so you can make a collaboration space of your own and collect donations (suggested donation £1 per drink) to fund the collaborative work you are making.

Find the products here or ask a friend to borrow theirs...

FREEtraid Instant Cafe Shop www.Freetraid.com

We aim to collaborate with existing spaces, cafes and art groups to create spaces where people can collaborate on solving social problems where any profit created from coffee sales are used to fund the community activities  of those groups. Please sign up to the newsletter, add yourself to the map and comment in the discussion board below to get involved.

Make your own cafe to drink in while raising funds for 'good' causes at no cost.

Who would want to go to an average cafe when you can custom make your own!

Making space for innovation that benefits everyone. This is a mutual support network that brings together many of London's leading eco, community and arts based regeneration projects to share knowledge, expertise, resources and best practice.

 We are looking for

1. Location
We are in advanced negotiations with a number of locations that have unused space and are still looking for more partner organisations so that we can enhance their space usage by providing our Open Space Cafe Social Enterprise format. If you know of other locations that would be interested in collaborating please join this network add their details to the discussion list.


2. Products/Partners and suppliers
We are now looking for:

Product Suppliers to supply innovative products for our shops,
Event management to put on events in the prime locations,
Startups, Entrepreneurs and artists who are interested in using these locations.

3. Web
We are looking for web developers interested in building open source collaborative tools and utilising existing ones.


In summary...
We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a location for young people to access the internet and collaborate together in hard to reach areas and are looking to produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too.

Collaboration and Microfinance. Give your cash and knowledge and help each other http://www.freetraid.com

Any programmers want to collaborate to just make this using open source software that already exists I can do the design?

Do you want to create a open source Collaboration crowdsourced website a bit like KIVA? For example to create a 'Creativity Collaboration version of KIVA'?! where any funds generated are invested in innovative projects that 'do good'

Can I work with you on this?

It would be great if it were possible to create away for innovative people to collaborate even easier online by building on your community (maybe with the software theps.net have created) and to create a collaboration and innovation crowdsourced/funded network... (Can I do this for you? though need to work with a programmer to set up the software and i can help do the design...)

It would be great to work for your team to create a innovation and collaboration version of KIVA (so not just loaning money but sharing skills...) but where any surplus funds are then reinvested into new innovations that can solve human problems (like KIVA but based on innovation:)

There is open source software out there that we can use to do this and I would love to crack on with helping your team do this in the new year.

If so comment at http://www.freetraid.org
