Making a nomad base function sustainably seems to involve several things.

The people that come - through various networks, mostly nomads arrive, but sometimes "mainstream" people find us, people who don't immediately fit in. The cool thing is that once they arrive, they either don't cut it and leave, in a natural way, or they learn. They grow, they participate, they become nomads. At least in philosophy.

Necessary for this is long-term "hosts." These are the people that already know how the nomad base operates, and continuously provide an example for new arrivals. A sustainable cycle is then set in place.

discussion and implementation about a lightfoot website based on drupal. proposed by Jurian. takes place at the t-house.

Lightfoot is about writing letters. It is fun, and it connects people. Today 6 came together at s.h.e Berlin to discuss lightfoot possiblities. The brainstorming was very effective and empowering. Uplifting.

So we want Lightfoot all over the world. But how?

Part of the philosophy is sustainability and there are letters that are not to be delivered with airplanes or motor vehicles. But as such it will take us ages to be everywhere worldwide... So we decided to speed up the process a bit and do the following:

• Everyone writes one letter during this conference
• We make a nice and shiny mailbox
• We build a nice website this week
• People write their delivery story
• Lightfoot will be spread everywhere

Transcript of discussion at the T-house late afternoon Monday 23 November.

Lightfoot. 6 participants.

Introduction

Jurien: So far I understand that Lightfoot is a network of boxes. I want to do more with this. I want to hear about experiences: where are the boxes now? Answer: there are 4 boxes. one in berlin, one in Amsterdam, one in Milano, one in Vicenza.

What is the Future of Lightfoot? where do we want to go with it. Do we want a website? Well, there are boxes so we can see where the boxes are. Ability to make sometime this week maybe?

Pavlik wants to know who started this idea. Who is responsible for it?

It started in Febr 2009. A mailbox was created and the philosophy was written down. New letters were written, and people took their oath to deliver the letter.

Lightfoot is about writing letters. See http://nomadbase.org/wiki/lightfoot
