Hi Hans and you other Norwegians!
Nice to see some communication going on here!
Again, i'm the appointed Swedish chapter spokesman, Calyptratus (a.k.a. Emil Freding)
I'm hoping you Norwegians are keeping it up there, communicating and getting forward.
There has been talk here and on starting up a Nordic collaboration, as you might know allready.
Since we went over and met a bunch of Danish guys at the Fresco lecture in Copenhagen, we've developed a nice relationship to those guys, and then i started working on the finish guys, and now i have set up a #ZM-Nordic chatroom on IRC (You really should join in!) where we have initiated a project priority document, with some guidlinesa nd realy smart idéas you shuld read! It's constantly changing as for now, and therefore it's no point in pasting the whole thing. (It's a pastebin, the link changes for every edit) but i hope you all take the effort to gain knowledge on how to use IRC (Internet Relayed Chat) -and don't be afraid to ask, it's not very complicated, and a great tool for collaboration! Noone so far has regret they did ;) If you do so there is a link to the latest version of the projects document right in the topic of the channel ( #ZM-Nordic )
For help on IRC or any other issue you might have questions on, just add me at MSN
emil_f...@hotmail.com or facebook as Emil Freding or on XMPP (Google chat and Jabber) as
Calyptr...@gmial.com or mail me at
Calyp...@thezeitgeistmovement.com
I have also prepared a #ZeitgeistMovement.NO channel for you guys, i'm in there untill you get a bunch of regulars and getting the whole thing running smooth. Everyone is very helpful whatever needs you have.
I also created national channels fo Denmark and Finland on IRC, and there are continuous talks going on in thoose as well!
Apollo (Greek guy who resides in finland) are beginning to shape a Nordic homepage, in a quite smart fashion, i promise it'll make you drop some jaws!
We are increasing the focus to work on a adoption on the new Wave protocol, wich will kick ass! Wave will take down language barriers and improve collaboration in the net by a exponential factor. Amongst the stuff we are doing projects is a RepRap prototyper and a David 3D-scanner, as well as recently looking in to the Open Source Robotics Operating System ROS. If you are not familiar with those, you have alot of amazing struff to catch up with! There have been alot of improvements and maps layed out on upcoming improvements on projects and collaboration between chapters and such, that i feel we are rapidly getting somewhere! I have also initiated a poroject on a free and open social "contract" in the same spirit as the GNU-license.
For a presentation of RepRap see this video (2 video episodes of 9 minutes each) :

I made quite a big post on the topic of Wave adoption, and in there are alot of videos and good points to read about. Here it is:

A chat and early draft on the social licence can be found in the pastebin in the #ZM-Nordic IRC channel.
To make a respond to your letter:
Personally I have stopped elaborating on religious stuff, becouse no
matter how they twist and turn evidence of pointless issues, it's all
just farytales that won't ever contribute to anything. The picture is
set very clear in the movie, and if people wan't to waste efforts
trying to disprove it, let them try. I will focus my energy elsware, to
meet anyone with constructive solutions to the real problems at hand.
(No pun intended!) =)
However, if you wish to improve your knowledge, Peter did one of his
radio adresses at blogtalk radio talking about the debunking attempts
of the first movie.
There he had the egyptologist behind his info on the Horus stuff,
talking live, explaining alot of the refuters fallacys of argument.
If you like to hear even more about the subject, she (the egyptologist)
was also on TVP-Radio at blogtalk radio, that is a two hour chat on the
subject "Jesus in Egypt" etc. Very informative.
Well, i know there are stuff i forgot to write about here, but as i started on this mail yesterday, i should propably just give it up now, so you can all get going ;)
Best Regards
