From What The Wiki?!
Cyclos is an Open Source internet applications which is a sort of combination between ebay and banking software. It makes it possible to start issue your own money, and start an internet based "local community currency" system. The idea behind such systems is very simple, though effective: if you don't have money, just create and issue it yourself! Cyclos makes it possible to login with member accounts, place ads, make payments in the local currency, apply taxes, etc. etc.The presentation goes a bit into the background of economics, money and the community currency philosophy, which in fact resembles the Open Source Philosophy. Also the software itself, as well as the practical use of it is being addressed.target audience: anyone interested in poverty or social issuesrequired skills: none
