This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
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.
SCHOOL OF OPEN
Note: I am currently using this just to keep some notes on a possible task. This might end up being removed from the Open Governance course.
Possible topics:
Hi!
This is an interesting topic! Maybe should be focused on "Healthy and Sustainable Community" or could enter to a broader topic as "Meritocracy" or "Motivation".
An example would be to explore things like: medium/long-term funding of peer/community projects, grants, motivation and visibility of your work.
Or how to transition from a volunteer to a staff position: what this means, how work changes, how this affects the grassroots movement and community dynamics.
