“…This is a world that knows how to organize itself withoutcommand and control or charisma. Everywhere, life self-organizes as networks of interdependent relationships.
When individuals discover a common interest or passion, they organize themselves and figure out how to make things happen.
Self-organizing evokes creativity and results, creating strong,adaptive systems. Surprising new strengths and capacities emerge from new relationships…”

So, in review
• Software is not a ‘solution’, it’s a tool to realise the patterns we need
• Design and plan the model before going near ‘technology’ • centrally and openly to wider stakeholders
• Model needs to afford multiplicity and centricity, publicity and privacy
• Facilitation is required and should be taken seriously from design phase• physical and virtual, marketing and community building
• ROI – big question – must generate results:• quantitative, qualitative• actual cash opportunities for actors in system• potential tie-ins with health/activity targets
