Noel is planning a very unique trip around the world, open-source style. He calls the project “Luck of Seven,” and he’s preparing to depart on July 7th. That’s 07/07/07. He’s also trying to raise $7777.77 for the trip. Clearly, Noel’s got a thing for sevens. For seven months, he’ll traverse the seven continents, dive into the seven oceans, and attempt to visit the seven ancient wonders of the world. Using a new media voodo (blog, vlog, wiki, flickr, couchsurfing, twitter, myspace, dopplr, and facebook), Noel will harness the collective knowledge of the globe and report weekly on seven topics relating to freedom and the organic component of digital communication.

If we all chip in, Noel’s going to make that trip and bring the world to us. Make a donation, spread the word, post about Noel in your own blog or at the very least, visit his site and show your support.
