Free Range Network

The Free Range Network is a "disorganisation" – a group with no structure, no formal membership, and no formal presence. Ultimately free range is a concept of disassociated action; grassroots activists working together on matters of common concern, sharing resources and expertise towards a greater common goal.

Free Range Projects
The Free Range Network operates as a series of projects that focus on different areas of interest within the network. Some projects are more active than others; some are only operative when there is a need for them. Current project areas include

The Energy Beyond Oil Project
The EBO project looks at energy futures and sustainable lifestyles. It encompasses the issue of peak energy (peak oil, gas, coal and uranium) as well as work around the evolving themes of: o 'Less', reducing consumption to meet the problems our future energy supply and climate change; o 'energy and food', looking at how we produce and consume the most critical human energy resource; and o the 'Great Outdoors', a new initiative developing the skills for simple living through learning to camp.

The Community-Linux Training Centre Project
This is the free software training side of the Network's activity on free and free software. Originally a touring Gnu/Linux training platform, the CLTC has now evolved into a project to encourage the use of free software through community-based training events.
