Auronet 4

Fourth generation AVnet in the making.

AVnet 3 was launched in 2003 and by 2008 it has created an active online community. However working groups of Auroville are not yet using the AVnet as a tool for colloborative work within a working group or among the working groups or with the community. Therefore the focus of AVnet 4 is to bring working groups as the focal point to make AVnet into an organisational tool.

Vision

AVnet is evnvisioned as central nervouls system of Auroville where collective self awareness can be objectively manifested and made accessible to all its members.

We envision increased collective self awareness leading towards quicker and rapid conscious collective action.

AVnet 3 brought community online

AVnet 4 will focus on bring working groups online and help in organisational work.

• Create desktop for working groups of Auroville
• Mediate and automate organisational processes
