  Noosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the view proposed by the theologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who added that the noosphere is evolving towards an ever greater integration, culminating in the Omega Point—which he saw as the ultimate goal of history.
In the original theory of Vernadsky, the noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the Earth, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life).

 Homestead Property   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In this sense, homesteading was a means of obtaining land, and was the most important and prevalent means of settlement in the late 19th century.
Currently the term ''homesteading'' applies to anyone who is a part of the back to the land movement and who chooses to live a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle.
In Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado homesteading cut into the access of the large ranches to the public domain where hundreds of thousands of cattle were grazed upon the open range, a practice called free grazing.

 Homesteading the Noosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Homesteading the Noosphere", an essay written by Eric S. Raymond about the social workings of Open Source software development, follows up on his influential "The Cathedral and the Bazaar".
The essay concerns issues of project ownership and transfer, as well as investigating possible anthropological roots of the gift culture in open source as contrasted with the exchange culture of closed source software.
He also investigates the nature of the spread of open source into the untamed frontier of ideas he terms the noosphere, postulating that projects that are too far ahead of their time fail because they are too far out in the wilderness, and that successful projects are somewhat related to existing projects.

The noosphere can be seen as the "sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek 'nous' meaning 'mind' in the style of 'atmosphere' and 'biosphere'.
Just as the biosphere is composed of all the organisms on Earth and their interactions, the noosphere is composed of all the interacting minds and memes on Earth.
The word is also sometimes used to refer to a transhuman consciousness arising from all these interactions - which those who have read Teilhard de Chardin sometimes refer to as the Omega Point, and consider the goal of history.

 <nettime> Eric S. Raymond: "Homesteading the Noosphere"
http://sagan.earthspace.net/~esr/writings/homesteading/homesteading.txt Homesteading the Noosphere by Eric S. Raymond April 1998 After observing a contradiction betweeen the `official' ideology defined by open-source licenses and the actual behavior of hackers, we examine the actual customs which regulate the ownership and control of open-source software.
To avoid confusion, it is important to note that the noosphere is not the same as the totality of virtual locations in electronic media that is sometimes (to the disgust of most hackers) called `cyberspace'.
We understand the yield from homesteading the noosphere now; it is peer repute in the gift culture of hackers, with all the secondary gains and side-effects that implies.

 Building a Digital Library the Commons-based Peer Production Way
The name for the Noosphere system (as I use it) comes from the word "noosphere", as employed by Eric Raymond in "Homesteading the Noosphere" [Raymond, 1998b].
Noosphere has drawn heavily upon such concepts, as well as the concepts of democracy, anarchy, capital, currency, common law, and natural law to create a self-regulating "economy of ideas".
While ownership is first assigned to the creator of an entry (strongly reminiscent of the "homesteading" method of acquiring property), the owner must adequately maintain the "property" of his or her entry to retain ownership (reminiscent of common law property rules, i.e., "use it or lose it").

Homesteading the Noosphere by Eric S. Raymond April 1998 After observing a contradiction between the `official' ideology defined by open-source licenses and the actual behavior of hackers, we examine the actual customs which regulate the ownership and control of open-source software.
And the distinction between noosphere and ergosphere is only of practical importance if one wishes to assert that ideas (the elements of the noosphere) cannot be owned, but their instantiations as projects can.
To avoid confusion, however, it is important to note that neither the noosphere nor the ergosphere is the same as the totality of virtual locations in electronic media that is sometimes (to the disgust of most hackers) called `cyberspace'.

Then, we can't say that programmers homestead the noosphere, the sphere of programs, which is false; programs are inherently immaterial, and no amount of homesteading or any activity can create ownership in the noosphere beyond any "magical" point.
In practice, the distinction between noosphere and ergosphere is not important for the purposes of this paper.

 Hackers produce more than software, they produce hackers
Those testimonies (both in the form of working binaries and as credits in the version history of the source) are part of a modest «reputation game» that produce hackers as (better or worse) hackers.
In HtN however, the reputation game in it's fundamental nature is based on a competitive instinct of individual human beings.
In HtN, Raymond shows that in practice hackers are less «free floating» than this compulsory liberalism and freedom suggests.

Teilhard had some fairly crude ideas about man being at the pinnacle of a creation and that every creature on a lower rung of evolution aspired to be human-like but had failed to get there.
Moving away from Teilhard but reconsidering the noosphere we can ask if consciousness really is responsible for a layer of something on the planet Earth.

 Comments on Homesteading the Noosphere
The following is a letter I sent to Eric Raymond right after reading his paper Homesteading the Noosphere, an exploration of the property and ownership customs of the open-source or free software culture and a sequel to the earlier and widely acclaimed The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
Eric Raymond opens "Homesteading the Noosphere" with the following apparent contradiction: While nearly all free software licenses state clearly that anyone can hack on the source code of an open-source project, the actual culture sets fairly strict guidelines on the manner in which this should be done.
This tendency is of particular fascination to me. I've wondered for a long time if whether, in on-line communities, we may be seeing the first example of a governmental system that scorns written law and is capable of scaling.
