• I think, even if we’re not dealing with “big business”, some form of “load balancing” of resources will still be needed – instead of one corporation selling to another corporation, it’s going to a matter of coordinating the sharing of resources between a massive network of small communities (a “federation” if you will) – ex. getting water and fresh food out to a desert community that has an over-supply of solar power

    • Agreed, just not SAP probably, as this thing is closed source, expensive and seems really focused on the needs of bigger business concerning government regulations and finance etc.

      A federated ERP for communities, sounds cool I never thought of it that way, but that would be useful for sure.
