Rafael Reinehr:

"Coolmeia is a network of visionaries dedicated to discover, study, improve and implement methods, tools, strategies, colutions and tools toward a more sustainable, cooperative, convivial and resilient world. They act in almost all areas of human knowledge needed to develop a more sustainable and equanimous world, like permaculture, democratic and libertary education, DIY techniques, permaculture, free cooperation, free media, open source culture, green industries and desing, renewable energies, governance, transparency and democracy, community development, etc.

At this moment they are designing a Cloud of Solutions, a huge database that is designed to store the most important tools, techniques and solutions for all these interconnected areas that can help individuals, collectives and organizations to deal better with problems in areas as distinct as Food, Education, Nature, Culture, Economy, Energy, Mobility, Politics, Health, Housing, Community and Security. This database will be a common effort of activists all around the world. A "Wikipedia" for the Common Wealth, attached to a social network that will help people to find each other around similar interests and help them to gather and solve problems locally or even at large distances.

Thet´re also developing a "Directory of Individuals, Collectives and Organizations that Act for the Common Good", with the same objective: have them to know and reach each other to enhance their connections and leverage social change.

Unfortunatedly the network worked this last 4 years only in portuguese, but from 2012 on ther´re making efforts to internationalize and have the tools available in English too."
