What is the CES?
The Community Exchange System (CES) is a community-based exchange system that provides the means for its users to exchange their goods and services, both locally and remotely.
It could also be described as a global complementary trading network that operates without money as it is commonly understood.
Global CES NetworkThe Community Exchange System (CES) network currently consists of over 900 more or less active communities in 83 countries and the software has so far been translated into 22 languages. Go to the global CES website to see the exchanges additional to those on this server. Community Exchange System is these deployments into one decentralised network, and to build a free, open source phone application suitable for recording and mobilising community activities. Communities wanting to be part of a global, decentralised exchange network can create accounts on this website. Drupal engineers wishing to support this long-term effort should contact matslats.net. |
