Los Permis
News
January 2010
After lots of observation and thinking.. it seems like we are going to use CES as an informatic platform..but there is some things to clarify stil -if you want to help designing this, go into Designing Permis..
What are Permies
"Permis" (P) for 'Permacultorist' , or ' Permacultural energy',
and also for 'Permission' .. it seems like we have a principal where we "only go where you have been invited", is someone is willing to pay for something, this is all you need to do so!
We are designing the Permis ( look down ) with one objective: to possitively move things for all permaculturist!
(taking for granted that what helps permaculturist, helps their projects, and that what helps their projects helps the planet), to help us all to make them valuable, we decided that 1 Permi = 1 euro (in value, more or less).
ANY PERMACULTURIST COULD BUY AND PAY PERMIS:
NEEDS OR WANTS ( OFFERS TO BUY )
Ex: The permaculture Academy Nodo Espiral offers to pay:
5-10P / hr
For translations (English > Spanish) for the Transition Movement- how many permis depends on the size and dificulty of the text, there is few in the wiki http://tradusos.pbworks.com
5-10P / hr
For any help with the Study Circles, that now has a working group in http://ecosol.ning.com/group/circulo (sign in if you like this option).
5P / hr
To help new participants in or online courses ( specially if you have already done a course with us), ex: the Introductory Course Curso de Introducción
10P
To create your own profile here in this pages of the new Caórdic Institute of Permaculture ( if you already have the permaculture certificate and you are practissing permaculture) according to the instructions.
20P
To create the profile of a pioneer permaculturist that you admire and you want to investigate, compromizing to share this information about your work, in a way that could help to the pioneer and became usefull to others. making it as accecible as possible for the rest!
5P
For supporting someone else that you know its doing permaculture, to start their page, explaining how this all works and being suportive while compliting it little by little...
3P
For each possitive and constructive to any of the Institute laboratories (so doesnt take us so much time to inssert you, explain things, etc.. it has to be and energy imput)..
10P
To translate and correct the English History page and for putting it in the English side of the Institute
http://permacultureinstitute.pbwiki.com/History
10P
To translate and correct this page ( the permis ) into English and putting it inthe Institute English side:http://permacultureinstitute.pbwiki.com/ThePermis
10P
For each person that sings into a course recomended by you.
....other sugestions?....
offers ( to sell )Ofertas (ofertas de 'vender')
In exchange, any peraculturist can offer to accept this permis instead of euros in specific services.
For ex: Nodo Espiral accepts Permis in exchange for parts of its courses.
50%
In permis of the total coast of the distant courses and also the modules for the permaculture diploma-200 euros for 6 months of the process and designs become 100 euros+100 permis.
20-40%
In permis of the cost of some of our presential modules - that normally cost 200euros for a weekend ( 150 euros if you sign in 15 days before )
Notice that you must have win your Permis before signing into the couse( if you dont want to wait you can live euros as deposit, if clarity mutually and written Before the course)- that you can exchange for Permis after 2 months ( or whoever we decided it if diferent in some cases ).
¿why? This design for Permis follows a very old model of complementary currency for the permaculture web in England called "Stars".The only diference is that with this Permis design is that you could have "debits" of stars, for ex ( if just arrived and not well known) to a permaculture course in Stars, and they let you if you would pay back to the community. And this didnt happen ( too many times) til the system got left behind cos of luck of simetry, practicality and disapointment. So this is a system which intention is of pushing to work towrds building the web together, without abusing anybody.
Accounts
We want this system to be as transparent and self organized as possible, so please - til we get running the CES system ( see above )- simply write down your own accounts in this section 7) in your profile of the Institute ( or with the Eco-shools web in your profile in the Ning), with links to your work please.
en tu perfíl en el NING),
Look Instructions Page section 7( if your dont have your profile yet, create it)
Presents
Permis are created making presents : meaning EVALUATING the work for the benefite of the hole permacultural community. They are a way of " creating possitiveness " and move our presents economy or simply jut givint thanks specifically to any permaculturist that is giving its time to the community ( or done it before).
This is a way of creating a complementary currency " backed up for the goods and services" or " for mutual credits"
Normally creating from nothing for the individual needs ( i want to buy something and i create the currence to buy it). Pushing into an individual creative focus and needs.
Here the focus is community: you cant create the currency for your individual need, but you can create it to help a colective need, that you identify. If you have only got a credit you can use it for your individual needs.
Designing Permis
THE DESIG of this currency, like every other face of the protocol designs for the Institute, starts here, in this Ning group " Economía Solidaria" : http://ecosol.ning.com/group/ces/forum/topics/empezando-un-ces-x-lospermis
If you are interested in being part of this pioneer design, we would love to welcome you to this CES group..and you can get Permis for your possitive contributions to it ( if interested in the complementary currency system, this is an excellent way of accelerating your action learning process :)
Its possible that its more appropiate, that sometime you CREATE A GROUP ONLY FOR DESIGNING PERMIS ( withing the Ecosol or the Caórdic Institute Ning http://permainst.ning.com .. this would also be part of the design ( where does it make more sence to do it?? where would it be better to place it, according to the principles??? etc...
So if your interested in actively help in this design:
1) JOIN the Ning EcoSol (economía solidaria: be usefull all kinds of active learning about currencies )
2) then join the CES group: http://ecosol.ning.com/group/ces
3) and follow the design clues in this foro, starting- a- ces- for -the permis empezando-un-ces-x-lospermis
If your imput in this design is significant, you can get permis for it ( keep a diary of your news in this design within your blog in Ecoschools or in a document that you can send us easily), we recomend you to create exchange webs for any accelerated active learning.
