Long time no hear. I have been offline and under radar to complete some stuff. Slowly returning to visible mode. Cheers!
[19OCT2007] Sustainopreneur's Square @ Facebook created, where this Café is at Sustainopreneur´s Square 1, 1st floor :). And the town name revealed, Sustainoville, in the virtual country Sustania. We are many out there in the same profound-proactive sustainability-land, and I will collect some notifications, first and foremost some related communities here at Ning!
Go to the Square @ Facebook!
[16OCT2007]
At Oct 15, I blogged about this community over at www.sustanopreneurship.biz, together with a huge update with all activities that has been taking place regards the conceptual development. The associated organization, iÆREAS, website and blog has now also been created, so now we're READY TO ROCK!
I also added a new profile question, required to answer when joining - why you entered this Café, and what you expect from being here, and also making the main three recommendations to other community members required to answer, based on the principle "Give to Give"/"Sharing is Caring" - we all have our Karma to think about, right :) ?
[16OCT2007] This place was claimed March 21, 2007, and I tweaked stuff and finished some big todo's at some other corners of the universe before I actually promoted it more widely - especially taking the concept of sustainopreneurship from idea to its big academic testing, now passing with distinction and clarity ;). If you found the community by serendipity, there might be a meaning to it. So, step forward and introduce yourself to me, Anders Abrahamsson, the creator!
Peace,

Welcome to a virtual Collaboration Café Supporting Stakeholders of Sustainopreneurship!
Top fives (experimental and exploring)
1. A Collaboration Café is a mash-up in between a "world café" and "open space"... (that I will blog about linked from here, when communal conversation actually have described it to the level a five year old can understand)
2. Virtual means that it is a counterpart to something in Real Life, metaphorically going on in some kind of "Second Life"(what Marshall McLuhan defined as "Cyberspace" making a "Global Village", in the seventies - we explore how this can apply to platforms available for everyone with no paywalls to collect people committed to the same phenomenon or community of practice)
3. Stakeholder here means those who have an interest of a phenomenon and its advancement, proliferation and/or evolvement (or demands something from something)
4. Supports means being at service for fruitful peer to peer interaction in between the stakeholders in the Café (whatever trait or colour you come in)
5. Sustainopreneurship is the topic of this vCC - and the phenomenon.
Status [CAFELOG22OCT2007@1040PM-CET]:
The virtual Collaboration Café (vCC) is so far dominated by sustainopreneurs themselves, - desperately, persistently, enduringly, unrestfully, peacefully, joyfully and lovingly wanting a change in "First Life", by using creative business organizing as a means for change, towards a Sustainable World! But you can also find other stakeholders, e. g. those who want to support the sustainopreneurial shake- and move-ment, either by asking curious questions and/or those who want to formally research the phenomenon!
Everyone has a story to tell. What´s yours?
Use the short survey that creates your profile (the only small entry demand upon joining) creatively to tell it! It includes e. g. what you HAVE and what you WANT! This makes it easy to find your way at the café - and find the right table.
Essential links (5):
- Definition with Background - http://www.sustainopreneurship.info
- The Master Thesis describing the phenomenon discovered, revealing what was not verbalized fully until 2003, and found unsatisfactory until 2007 - Google Scholar Search with six hits so far in total, some Germans and me, links to the Swedish Digital Scientific Archive DiVA "Sustainopreneurship - Business with a Cause. Conceptualizing Entrepreneurship for Sustainability"
- I have been running a blog since 2004, "Notes from a Sustainopreneur | on Sustainability Entrepreneurship", since years featured on Top Ten search on "sustainability entrepreneurship" on Google.
- This café is imagined and situated at a virtual Square in a town called Sustainoville. The Central Square in this imagined town is currently placed and reflected at Facebook (subject to change if environment evolves to be unfruitful) - "Sustainopreneur's Square".
But this café is not about what I have been doing. It is what I have been doing for my world. It is about YOU! It is about WE! Netizens of Sustainoville...
Your café host at your service! What can I help you with?
Peace,
Anders

A major update done on “Notes from a Sustainopreneur” - headlines crossposted
I have done a major update to summarize the advancements of sustainopreneurship research over at the personal blogging “Notes from a Sustainopreneur”. The blogging flow onwards will now let the ‘Notes…’ blogging just be notes on general observations and updates in the shorter and more often format, while this blog will take over as the [...]

LATEST MAIN GROUP SHOUTS: Three streams
There are four groups (or...eehrm, coffee tables?) dedicated to four distinct strands of conversations, two main topics, one private group about starting the new association (intra-group of the interim members), and one about the topics flowing in itself :). A meta-group appropriately called "open space".
Here, three of them, the open groups, are streamed with latest conversations in respective group.
Hey, is a group missing? Shout it out in the Open Space group!
