 ===== About me =====
+Since the Financial Crisis of 2008 I've been building and maintaining community currency systems, used mostly in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
+Along the way I've explored the nature of money and run a few workshops and courses. Around 2019 I published the Credit Commons protocol, a way for independent community currencies to keep accounts with each other.
+After many years of nomading and living almost moneylessly, I now live in South Italy with a woman and 200 olive trees, putting down roots and actually participating in a local community.
 ===== My organisations =====
+I co-founded [Community Forge](https://communityforge.net), which hosts free open source social networking platforms which support community currencies.
