What is Migiwe?

Migiwe is an online community of people who share a common goal - the realization of a strong and sustainable economy of free.

=What is an economy of free?

An economy of free (or a free culture economy) is what you get when you have producers of free, offering free products and services, for the sake of consumers of free, in exchange for free payments.

What is the Free Culture?

We'll let Wikipedia answer this one.

What is a Free Payment?

A payment that the consumer is free to make or not. A payment free of any mandatory value or constraints. In other words, a donation. See also the Migiwe blog.

Why not use "donation" instead of "free payment"?

To break free from the idea of charity often associated with the word donation. A free payment is a business transaction. It is not an act of charity or altruism.

What does Migiwe means?

Mìgiwe (mee-gih-way) means "he or she gives" in Algonquin.[1]

What does the logo represent?

The Migiwe logo is based on a map of the internet produced by Barrett Lyon through the Opte Project.
