I founded Consumerium.org on [[2002]]-04-23 T 17:32:38Z thanks to Kalle Hallivuori's philantrophy i.e. sponsoring the domain name and the hosting. In the first phase there was a website that contained [[motivation]], [[goals]] and [[means]]. Unsurprisingly the website wasn't problem-free because I wasn't actually paying for the DreamWeaver we (Matias, Matias and me) used to make the website.
