Pete makes some interesting points about social capital and how this contributes to a vibrant scene that can self organise events quickly and effectively. In the comments I ask:

  • Do those who perceive themselves to have less influence feel disenfranchised from the process of convening such events?
  • If communities evolve through exchanges of social capital, then do you limit opportunities to those who have the most capital?
  • Is this a problem? Who is it a problem for?

I have answers, but would welcome yours – here or for preference at Pete’s blog.
