Collaborative is the path to the brighter future

Last weekend I visit, respectively, I participate on my first bar-camp. The educamp, in Hamburg. it
was very exited and mind opening. At first the issue "Education and web 2.0" and second the frame
of this congress, the bar-camp. But because I am a beginner in both fields, the issue of this message
is the following:
Education is not my core issue and I only participate because I accompanied a good friend, who is
active in this community. But in an short research after the event, about this "education community"
I discovered some patterns which evolve also in the
"global guerilla", "resilient communities" community. (This is the community, which is in the realm
of my interests)
But what kind of patterns did I discover in this very diverse communities?
The both try to find a path to "heal the world and make it an better place".
And this path seems to be an collaborative one.
Examples.

John Robb, ideas about an "gifting economie" that could be realized throught MMO gaming (Massively Multiplayer online) as an tool. 


Jean-Pol Martin writes "the 9 rule of the neuron" , an first
draft for an manual of behavior for an human being that collaborates in an big community. Here is the goal to create a big probleme solving capacity. .
