Good idea, don't count me in, though.
Meh, I just like to vote. Don't care.
You'll probably have a lot of "Fun*", that's for sure.

Sure, but I don't understand why either of you think that applies to you.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

My girlfriend isn't a geek. Therefore it does apply to me.

OK, so, I read through the first bout of posts, to page 13 or so, then skipped all the silliness that followed.

If anyone's still actually interested in this I have a few thoughts.

First, a Co-Op model seems better than a Commune model.  Smaller group, focused upon a specific building/property, in or on the outskirts of the urban area you're already located in.

Allow for transferable equity interests (shares) and voting rights.  Standard 50% or 66% quorum requirements for decisions.  Incorporate the Co-Op as a 501(c) or similar and have monthly dues.  Allow for people to make non-cash contributions for their dues through an appropriate approval process.

A pipe dream geekhive will never happen.  Smaller 7-20 Co-Ops are thriving and successful.  Take that model, apply it to the area you already live in, and generate/find interest in social groups (Bay12) guaranteed to provide some minimal amount of common interest and camaraderie.

I actually got really excited about this as I read through the first 12 pages.  Unfortunately (fortunately?) I'm engaged and have accepted a job offer for next year, so I have no geographic/housing flexibility.

But it could work.  If you actually wanted it to and took it seriously.  I couldn't join, but I'd be happy to draw up documents, file legal forms etc... for anyone interested enough to actually do it.

You were subtle about it in that thread I started where you were subtle about it.

Back on topic; you'd both be extremely welcome. In fact, we'd even let you get married. I don't care.
