Mushin Schilling’s Summary

Mushin is Chief Community Host and Web 2.0 developer for Gaiasoft/Gaiaspace. He is a passionate community and collaboration ecologist, creating off-line and online environments that foster conversations and engagement. Mushin understands both the technology and human behaviour in groups and communities, and seeing that complex challenges need equally complex answers, and that multi-disciplinary, cross-silo stakeholder groups can provide these.
