How can open communities make good decisions and get stuff done?
In this course we will try to understand how open communities of volunteers -- like this one -- can make decisions and take action, often using governance structures that look very different from the traditional models.
We will explore and brainstorm on best practices for community-driven innovation, collaboration and participation.
Some of the topics may include: though leadership (action oriented leadership), arc of participatory events - a way of simplifying distributed decision-making, meritocracy and levels of engagement.
