Notes

P2PU Webcraft

• • P2PU webcraft: 250+ applicants
    
  • learning: big gap between beginner and advanced courses
  •  more specific calls for courses and skill levels
  •  e.g., no one offered a wordpress course, for example
  •  need help with Drupal

Seeks

• locked up: proprietary black boxes
• locked up in terms of individual isolation. no way to give feedback to the machines
• users who perform similar queries can collaborate on the result
• how does it fit w. web search: starting unlock keyword economy. open up web search.
• large community of people working on open future. feels they are part of this movement.
• understand drumbeat is like a ladder system. "strive or die."

CrisisCommons:

• presented to Sloan Foundation on funding. potential for major funding coming in.
• Day of Learning: be a little more proactive. instead of waiting for disaster to happen, trying to get volunteers up to speed before crisis strikes.
• get people up to speed: "crisis camp in a box" (aiming to launch by January)
• Sep 25: in a participating city, in-person meet-ups
