-There are many thousands of 'intentional communities' in existence around the world - all with varying degrees of adherence to post-market economic values. The success of these communities also varies wildly depending on the community size, the personnel and challenges they face.

+What these communities offer and what their network's rules of use, listing, and membership engagement are, varies.
+Some require registration either to their own app or website, or to a third party service before you can search, view, and enquire about their listings and members. Some only offer their services to members of certain places or countries, and not all accept paid deliveries of items. And others offer places to stay only temporarily, or longer at no additional cost only if permission for this is granted from the property owner.
+You will also find more information about various websites such as these in [[:free_collaboration_networks|]], and learn about[[https://openaccesseconomy.org/doku.php?id=open_access_directives#alternative_trade_systems|alternative trade systems]] presenting other methods of exchange and providing community support in [[:open_access_directives|]].
 ===== The Open Source Community =====
-With time, more and more people are becoming aware of the wealth of free and open source software (FOSS) available online. For example, [[https://www.linux.org/|Linux]] and [[https://www.ubuntu.com/|Ubuntu]] operating systems, [[https://www.tromjaro.com/|TROM-Jaro]], a trade-free operating system based on [[https://manjaro.org/|Manjaro]], distributions based on [[https://www.freebsd.org/|FreeBSD]] such as [[https://nomadbsd.org|NomadBSD]], [[https://www.libreoffice.org/|LibreOffice]] and [[https://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice]] productivity software, [[https://httpd.apache.org/|Apache web server]], [[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/|FireFox web browser]], [[https://brave.com/|Brave web browser]] based on the [[https://www.chromium.org/Home|Chromium web browser]], [[https://www.neverware.com/|CloudReady]] based on [[https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os|Chromium OS]], [[https://www.blender.org/|Blender 3D graphics suite]], [[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP photo editor]], [[https://kdenlive.org/|Kdenlive video editor]], etc.

 While creators of these software may not always ascribe to the values of a post-market world, using and contributing to this software is a healthy advance in this direction and inspires others to do the same.
+===== Free Collaboration Networks =====
+In our present society, for the most part, we get access to resources and services thanks to businesses. In a shared world that is based on the contribution motive instead of the profit motive, instead of businesses, the organizations that will provide us access to things will be fully volunteers and all provided will be 100% trade-free.
+That is what we call [[free_collaboration_networks|Free collaboration networks]].
+These can take many different forms, sizes, structures and functions. They can range from a simple table on which to place objects that are free for the taking, to elaborate global organizations coordinating with apps.
