The Mine! Project is closer to my personal ambitions for VRM — developing base-level open source tools that give individuals both independence and constructive means for engaging with others in the world — than any other project I know. It’s also living proof that a user can get geeks to do what she or he wants. The user in this case is Adriana Lukas, and the geeks begin with Alec Muffett and fan out from there.
You can see some of those geeks sharing their work and progress at BarCamp Antwerp yesterday, in these videos:
The Mine! Project at BarCamp Antwerp 2010.
Now I’ll see if I succeeded in embedding video, something I rarely do. [Later…] Nope, failed. Still, follow that link to learn about the project and its progress from Alec & friends.
