Who Are We? How You Can Co-Produce Travel Guides to Sustainability & Social Entrepreneurs Everywhere * Through every social network

Brian Davis is a London based journalist editing the first LondonGlobal travel guide to 100 World Changers. The idea is to inspire with 100 diverse examples, to be open sourced so that local travel guides can then be edited with a mix and match of local nominations and worldwide ones. Local may be geographic or networked around a specific sustainability club challenge. Guides may be in print or web click form Brian's team of fellow inquirers include: Robert De Souza who represents Eastern hemisphere votes Sofia Bustamante whose Bolivian family provide Southern Hemisphere Connection Myself - Chris Macrae is just an impudent Scot whose clan tree: on my father's side connects deeply with the Isle of Arran but whose own upbringing and career has been globally itinerant; on my mother's side connects through the British Raj to my grandfather who went from being a judge in Mumbai to mediation of the constitution of India's Independence between Mahatma Gandhi and the British Foreign Office Each of us have spent well over a decade participating in any social and cross-cultural network we have identified that webs through London, as well as been linked into through nominations of friends, whom we have met whilst working in over 40 countries over the last 3 decades Leveraging 200 Years of Cases from WorldEntrepreneur.Net Macrae Family's Entrepreneurial Revolution started with my X times grandfather who helped Scots emigrate (as early 1800's worldwide networkers) when England's accountant convinced Scottish Lairds that sheep were quarterly more profitable than people. About the same time a Scottish Entrepreneur, James Wilson, had enough: he went down to London, joined parliament to get rid of all the lobbyists for corn laws that had starved Irish and other peoples of the less than United Kingdom, founded The Economist so that such non-transparent speculators would never again take over public service. Click by 1976, my father who deputy Edited The Economist over 4 decades started the Entrepreneurial Revolution Trilogy whose final part in 1984 became the first future history of "death of distance" calling for the transparency guides we now need if sustainability is to be all our futures and social entrepreneurs our heroines and heroes.

You! Post us ideas of what travel guides are needed next> Example compasses: Do any of these location searches interest you? Do any of this sustainability crisis network contexts interest you? Have you got a different take on whom world citizens need to celebrate as heroines, heroes and apprentices of multi-cultural sustainability? We aim to help microfinance co-producers and co-editors of other guides until we have at least as many league tables of sustainability and social entrepreneurial world champions as we have leagues of sportsmen, and as much public interest in travel guides to world changer entrepreneurs as we have to hotels and packaged tours. We realise that this requires a collaboration effort of a unique kind, but what else is the www for if our networks cannot connect the social solutions we all have a right to transparently demand

This blog aims to assemble cotnituous voting for the 100 most valued people of all time -judged from what the world would never live to have experienced without these most trusted or innovative beings. Sometimes we have inserted families where we see the same pattern (gifting to humanity) being developed over generations

This list will not include those who are at the origins of religions. We are happy to do that elsewhere at valuereligion

We will also give a positive discrimination towards rising youth because hey every hero in this list seems to compound lifelong value multiplication; in other words what they achieve through each 5 years of adult health or so redoubles the newtorking value of what they have previously acheived. Moore's law does not only apply to silicon chips but the world's most extraordinary beings too -now why didnt they tell me that at Harvard Business School or in the latest internet chat room? Why don't orgnaisations honour that basic law of interpersonal productivity in the way they judge performamce? Perhaps because the mathematics of current acccounting has a wicked ommission. Nobody in teh boardroom rules by current accounting is alowed to value people as investments, they must be treated as costs. Whereas machines, they can be booked in as ainvestment. Don't expect any modern day professional to recah our top 100 listing whislt governing with books and spereadsheets so that are soon anti-human. I am a mathematician, and if there is any fellow mathematician who wants to defend such wicked numbers, let's publishh our debate here.

We would love to make this league table cross nations and races and creeds. Here are a few rules designed around that aim

The way to up a nominee's ranking in our table is to find people of nations beyond those already nominating the person who wish to cheer on the nomination. We will happily link to personal webs of each first national proposer of another nation's nominee
email wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you wish to advance a nominee with some few lines of bacground or bookmarks enabling us to take a view; if more than that you wish to co-edit this weblog, please briefly explain why; all text written in this blog is as far as we are concerned openly copiable for the purposes of developing the inquiry of whom does everyoine around the world celebrate most for being and why. WE hope that we will discover some basic need all of us share such as enabling our children to get education, good health, clean water, safety from nature's or man's wrath. We do not believe that broadcast media or global professionals have done a goodwilled enough job in recent years in helping us all celebrate humanity's most extraordinary beings and what we can learn as people united in wanting simply to make the most we can out of our lives and thsoe of our fa,ilies and communally around us. Coming from a media family whose ancestors included Queens Councillors, doctors, and various honored professionals I can make that confession applying it to myself as much as anyone. One reason why I want to see this particular top 100 develop in the most diverse ways you copuld help it blossom.

Breaking Views from ClubofLondon current #1 in collaboration knowledge city bookmarks (votes over 40 million)

This week saw world water day come and go with less than a ripple. Did Londoners know how they could have contributed more news on this around the world? no matter

Next week is arguably the biggest in the calendar for gifts to the world Londoners as number 1 collaboration knowledge city can start up, and make the next 6 years marathon of make poverty history connect all around the world

With Al Gore visiting the twin cities of London and Oxford, we cannot imagine a better time to Launch the Social Entrepreneur Olympics. The game is to have got 30 gravity pursuits of social entrepreneur world champions into the public consciousness by 2012 as much as the top 30 sports.

All we need is love and courage to cheerlead cross-cultural creativity's waves:

The Livingstone has got us off to a great start; he has declared there will be no sporting Olympics in London in 2012 unless they are carbon free - turn up the heat on every politician since only photosynthesis innovations can produce clean energy of that sustainability magnitude. Make sure all those who host Al Gore events debrief him as the clock to 2012 counts down

The lessons to be learnt from Make Poverty History from pop stars down can be an epiphany if University of Stars and the BBC turn their minds to the greater transparencies (eg end all country corruptions) needed if Make Poverty History is to be a reality network not just an image-making one

So that's 28 more gravity pursuits we need to celebrate around social entrepreneurs with as much gusto as the 20th Century hailed sporting stars

We are reminded of one Harrison Owen story I should tell because open spacing education is a social entrepreneur pursuit every family can stand up for whereas we cannot all help on the ground with projects in Africa or in the roofs that algae use to convert the sunshine into cleansing energy banks.

He was studying to be a priest around the Washington Dc area. It was a time when Martin Luther King was having a dream. Harrison can't recall quite how it happened but he was standing in a civil rights field in a crowd of African Americans - one tall lanky white man. The police were beginning to charge on the crowd and Harrison was feeling quite scared. That is until a 7 year old black girl came up to him - and said Mister will you hold my hand

Since that day, Harrison gave up the priesthood to the chagrin of most of his family. And is one of the handfuls of people who most interconnects conflict resolution facilitators around the world. Their networks criss-cross all religions that believe in golden rules of reciprocity such as so unto another what you want done unto you. They also connect mathematically - if Einstein is correct here at http://clubofdc.blogspot.com - to Gandhi as the greatest inventor of peaceful social entrepreneurial revolution that 144 years of The Economist's coverage of this most productive of all professions.

If some of this post makes sense to you, why not re-edit the parts you like and send it to the board of Governors of the BBC, and should you wish Tony Blair or another politician well with their legacy why not copy them in to. We the British people, not any of our political representatives own the BBC. We have invested way over 50 billion pounds in this corporation. On a personal note to all scots- may I ask whether you feel the inventor of television would feel proud of a television where every big debate is framed one dimensionally around short-term left and right rivals or whomever is looking fore a job with big business if the party does not turn out Trumps for their apprenticeship to network power.

It is high noon for the BBC with its 10 year licence determined by and for the people in the year of 2o06. Please could our world service be one of British Character we can feel both pride and humility in searching for. Please free your journalists for humanity to take a fearless lead in realising this open source script from 1984 , so that trust across peoples everywhere begins to flow through every documentary inquiry that has anything to do with world peace or nightly newscast on poverty's challenges through 2012 - and through these communications help the British to get to know 30 gravity pursuits of Social Entrepreneurs with as much joy and attention as the 30 sports it spend most public licence fees on. Hey when Brits helped to invent most of these sports we surely never intended they would take over from greater British realities of world service, through believing in CommonWealth principles and our Queen's higher order right to ask us as she did in her end of 2005 broadcast to unite in preventing globalisation from turning humanity on itself.

For the same of deeper democracy blossoming and connecting every coordinate on earth, you can also play a jigsaw mapping game aimed at sustaining 2 million global villages. Here's part of my family's tree which may open up some useful connections- what connections could your family tree or that of your peer networks open source. If you can make a "peer or family tree" picture why don't we play the mixed networking games of swap and snap. If we are going to turn around globalisation’s exponentials sustainably in time, we are all going to have to work with whatever grassroots community contexts up we can help each other navigate. No lead is too small as long as it is one you intend to gravitate transparently around as part of you lifelong learning mission. We need to help change children's education now so that the core human rights of freedom and happiness have a chance to breathe nature's clean waters, airs and energies everyone human beings sing her praises. Let's all turn up the courage through every family in the land and into wherever co-mentoring networks in internet space may take A B C D E F you

Network Family Tree Maps

Chris Macrae - here is a fragment of the family tree of World Entrepreneurs

please mail us at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk with other fragments

Stopping humanity from turning on itself is a project we understood Queen Elizabeth 2 to have launched in her end of 2005 speech to the Commonwealth; in any event its a collaborative 1 2 mission that will require cultures, races, and religions of every dimension to join in should they agree with the goal and have a world entrepreneur to nominate

We're interested in similar maps across cultures- starting with commonwealth or ex-commonwealth nations (partly because thees are fairly easy for a Scot like me to inquire about independently). In particular, my friends and I at http://www.frappr.com/gandhimba and ClubofAhmedabad will be compiling a family tree map of networks that compound through Gandhi
