@Bronwyn Found it! This was a beautiful book. I don't know why it hasn't been reprinted. But this is a library discard, and it is damaged. The front cover has broken away from the book block.
But all the pages are there, and I think it will work for remembering how much you loved it. Give me an address and I'll put it in the mail.

Κοινωνικό Στέκι - Στέκι Μεταναστών Χανίων

Κάλεσμα για τη λειτουργία του χαριστικού!
Καλούμε όλες και όλους που θα τους ενδιέφερε να συμμετέχουν και να συμβάλλουν στην αναδιοργάνωση της δομής του χαριστικού παζαριού ρούχων του κοινωνικού στεκιού - στεκιού μεταναστών, το Σάββατο 25 Απριλίου στις 13:00 στο στέκι (αίθουσα στον 2ο όροφο).

Υπάρχει ανάγκη για ξεκαθάρισμα και αναδιοργάνωση του χώρου αλλά και εμπλουτισμού με περισσότερες ημέρες/ώρες λειτουργίας

We run on the same unspoken rules without noticing they're rules: effort in, result out; do enough of the right things, earn the reward.
Some things move by completely different rules — arriving unbidden, owing nothing to what you've put in or deserved. A different way of reading what's already circulating.

@neil you're right that #OpenSource depends of a huge community of individuals (and some corporate entities) cooperating together in what is the world's largest #GiftEconomy.

But I think there is a huge difference to being beholden to and dependent on thousands of our own peers — ordinary people of good will who choose to share — than on one corporation whose sole purpose is to extract as much profit from us as they can wring.

"If you've ever made something useful and felt a pang of guilt for not monetizing it, that guilt is a symptom of the monoculture. If you've ever hesitated to share a tool because it wasn't "polished enough" for a product launch, you've been contaminated by standards that don't apply to gifts. If you've ever described your own creative work as "a side project" with that apologetic minimizing doing all the heavy lifting, you've internalized a heirarchy of value that ranks market viability above ..."

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an indie hacker in possession of a widget must be in want of a business model... Every tool is a startup now. Every script is a SaaS product. Every neat little hack you cobbled together on a Sunday afternoon to solve your own

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 116: Social Economy of Food
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2555303/

Sharing, gifting, and informal economies have been around forever, and they might be seeing a new resurgence that offers promise for the long-term.

This episode helps re-think and reorient ourselves towards creating integrated value exchanges beyond just the financial kind. Alexia Moyer provides gifts from Sandro Botticelli and Catherine Parr Traill, and guest editor Irena Knezevic talks about “The social and informal economy of food” issue of Canadian Food Studies. (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v6i3).

Finally, Christophe Dubois shares his thoughts on social gastronomy and Mary Anne Martin’s use of feminist theory to explore urban agriculture.

"What of we took TrustRoots, this couchsurfing-like sharing platform, and rebuilt it on a permissionless, open social protocol. So they're in the process of rewriting TrustRoots so it runs on the Nostr open social protocols. So that it... doesn't have the problem that happened with CouchSurfing[.com]. So that it isn't owned by just one person - the creator - but it is... held in common by the community... who are hosts..."
