Peer production, governance and property

Yesterday I attended a talk by Michel Bauwens (founder of the Peer to Peer Foundation which is creating a Commons of Peer to Peer practices). I found his ideas on Peer production under Peer governance inspiring. Of course he mentioned plenty of examples from Open Source, and also Wikipedia, Creative Commons, etc. One of the basic ideas is the abundance in the immaterial world allows such Commons (Peer production) to appear, so for abundance in the material world it would also be possible to create Peer production (early examples are free open designs, etc). Although some of it seems fairly obvious from the FOSS point of view, it was nice to hear it all in a wider economic setting. I think he is certainly someone to keep an eye on. He is also a really interesting person who has done a lot of different things.
