Open source as a convivial and democratic mode of production
•
1 like•305 views
This document discusses open source and commons-based peer production. It describes peer production as large-scale collaboration that is decentralized and motivated by social factors rather than markets or management. Peer production enables modular, granular contributions that can be easily integrated at low cost. The document also discusses Ivan Illich's concept of "conviviality" as individual freedom through personal interdependence. Commons-based peer production can materialize virtues like autonomy, creativity, altruism, and cooperation. However, the relationship between peer production and virtues is not directly causal and remains normatively attractive rather than conclusively proven.

Why organisations need to fundamentally change - oot.org lecture series 1
The business and government institutions upon which individuals and society depend are increasingly failing their customers, employees, owners, investors and other stakeholders.
These negative effects derive from the combination of 6 key characteristics of today's dominant organisational form –
Hierarchy
Division of labour
Bureaucracy
Exclusion of market forces
Separation of ownership and control, and
Legal fictions of the corporate person and the corporate veil (limited liability and other protections).
DIY Citizen: An question of Autonomy
This presentation outlines some of the underlying conceptual framework of the EDGE lab at Ryerson University.
Mass Communication and Media Literacy 12
Mass media companies have obligations beyond profits to serve as a public sphere and support citizenship. An ideal public sphere allows private citizens to assemble, engage in dialogue, and influence government. While mass media enables a proxy public sphere, tensions exist between citizen engagement and profit motives. Media should provide information, knowledge, representation and communication to support cultural rights and active citizenship, but it is unclear if such a system can thrive under commercial pressures of a free market. Analysis of media organizations and culture of production helps understand how media content is created and shaped for audiences.
Open Entrepreneurship - Yetis Thesis Proposal
This document provides an overview of a thesis proposal on exploring entrepreneurship in open source communities. The researcher aims to investigate how entrepreneurs identify opportunities and build social capital within open source communities like OpenSimulator and Bitcoin. Specifically, the research will examine how entrepreneurs' networks affect opportunity identification, how they contribute to social capital accumulation, who handles residual tasks, and the role of entrepreneurs in institutional change. The researcher will use methods like interviews, text analysis, and social network analysis on data from mailing lists, forums, and websites. The study expects to contribute to literature on open source communities, social capital, entrepreneurship, and institutional theory.
Ii 02. lodz presentation final
This document summarizes research on scaling and diffusing social innovations. It finds that scaling is an inadequate concept for conceptualizing the growth of social innovations, as it suggests standardization and control which may not fit innovations in public services or those involving co-production. Diffusion is complex and not easily orchestrated. A typology of innovations as new services, practices, processes, rules or organizations is proposed to better understand appropriate growth approaches. Case studies show networks, receptive contexts, and intermediaries critical to spreading innovations, though intermediaries face control vs speed trade-offs. Further research areas include grassroots innovations, innovation platforms, and enabling conditions over scaling control.
Dm8106 Class2
This document discusses the evolution of media and industries from traditional frameworks to new models in the current era of Web 2.0 and social media. Specifically, it describes a shift from top-down hierarchies to more participatory and self-service models, where users take on entrepreneurial roles as cultural agents and workers have more autonomy. Key aspects of this new landscape include aggregation of user-generated content, social connections between individuals, and the blending of production and consumption into a collective intelligence.
Ss Doc The Great Battle 1
The document discusses the rise of "neo-capitalists" like hedge funds that aim for short-term financial gains without concern for long-term value. This leads companies to focus only on cost-cutting and acquisitions to boost share prices quickly. As a result, long-term investments, employee satisfaction and organizational innovation all suffer. A new generation called the "Einstein Generation" or "Knight Innovators" is emerging that takes a collaborative approach to innovation through mass participation. They create new organizational forms not focused on existing structures and will challenge the "robber barons" with new models of working together.
Session 16, Raaz
1) Mainstream CSR discourse views CSR and transparency as rational mechanisms to establish an orderly society, but some critics argue this oversimplifies the complex, multi-faceted nature of society.
2) Post-structuralism rejects the idea of stable identities and meanings, instead seeing society as formed through differences that are constantly shifting.
3) CSR can be seen as one attempt to institutionally organize society, but from a post-structuralist view it is impossible to fully control or stabilize the social order.

Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?
This document discusses choosing an audience age range of 15-24 for an R&B music magazine. Younger audiences below 15 are deemed inappropriate due to potentially explicit lyrics and images of barely clothed male and female artists that could be seen as dominant, patronizing or seductive. University students aged 24 and under are identified as a suitable target audience as they listen to R&B music socially and are appearance-focused, finding inspiration from scantily clad artists that could motivate magazine purchases.

Emerging economic community models in virtual societies
This presentation outlines economy models that found themselves in the arts communities of Second LIfe
Dm8106 Class2
This document introduces concepts related to Web 2.0 and its impact on society and media industries. It discusses how new media platforms enable a shift from a top-down production model to a more participatory and self-service model. This allows for the rise of user-generated content and the blending of cooperation and competition. Web 2.0 supports new forms of collective and connective intelligence through social networking and user contributions and feedback. It can be used as a tool for research through practices like wikis, tagging, and sharing across networks.
Open science economy
This document discusses the emergence of open science and the open science economy. It makes the following key points:
1. The open science economy (OSE) utilizes open-source models and applications like open access, open archiving, and open publishing in distributed knowledge and learning systems. This has led to more diffuse, decentralized knowledge production based on open innovation.
2. Peer-to-peer distributed knowledge systems through open-source projects rival proprietary products due to rapid global sharing. The OSE encourages a culture of collaborative, participatory research involving the public.
3. Portal-based knowledge environments and global science gateways now support collaborative science. Open-source informatics enables knowledge grids that interconnect science communities
What is the importance of Social Media to university education?
Web 2.0 technologies and social media facilitate new models of informal, peer-based, and experiential learning. They allow learners to explore and discover knowledge through participation in online communities, by sharing personal experiences and narratives. Learners co-construct meaning and learn from doing, reflecting on their experiences and social contexts, rather than through didactic learning. These new forms of learning and knowledge production blur boundaries and can influence traditional education models and institutions.
How can entrepreneurial mindset be developed in organisations?
The document discusses developing an entrepreneurial mindset in organizations. It defines entrepreneurship as creating value by combining resources to exploit opportunities. Key entrepreneurial competencies include opportunity-alertness, self-efficacy, risk-willingness, and role-modeling. These competencies can be enhanced through institutional context, innovation competencies, background factors like gender and education, and role-modeling. The document also discusses innovation, innovation systems, linking innovation systems, diversity and innovation, transnational entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and an example of a transnational diaspora entrepreneurship platform.
Public policies for productive innovation in information society
Despite the assumption that large cities produce more innovation than smaller cities, evidence shows that innovation-friendly policies and the use of digital technology to open new pathways to innovation are more important than the city size.
Roberto Grandi a SCE 2012
Roberto Grandi gave a presentation on the role of creativity and the creative industries in smart cities. He discussed how creativity can be an alternative way of thinking and a way to solve problems. He explained that creative environments that are open-minded and interdisciplinary can foster creativity. However, creative cities also face risks like gentrification and social divides if multidimensional strategies are not employed to encourage inclusion and capability building. Grandi argued that creativity needs to be extended beyond just culture to also influence social, political and economic areas, and that civic creativity where everyone contributes is important for sustainable city development.
Can Second Life house synthetic organisms?
1. Second Life currently houses artificial organisms created by artists and researchers and may house more complex artificial intelligence as its architecture becomes more open.
2. The document discusses different frameworks for social and economic interaction between humans and artificial agents in virtual worlds, including classic corporate and collective models.
3. As virtual worlds allow for more autonomous artificial agents, an economy driven by the capabilities of artificial general intelligence may emerge, where agents are employed or provide services in exchange for payments.

SOURCE OF INNOVATION Schilling Chapter 2
The document discusses various sources of innovation. It states that innovation arises from the implementation of new ideas into devices or processes. Ideas can originate from individuals, universities, government labs, or private non-profits. However, the most powerful source of innovation comes from linkages and networks between these different components that leverage knowledge from multiple sources. Creativity underlies the generation of novel ideas, which are then transformed into innovations through different components of the innovation system and their interactions. Key sources discussed include individual and organizational creativity, firms' R&D efforts, universities, government-funded research, and private non-profits.

The present paper seeks to converge two major trends in Higher Education that have been on top of recent dis -
courses: (1) the neoliberal shift in Western universities and (2) the emergence of OpenCourseWare (OCW). Both
have attempted to provide different and alternative visions of education and both have been blind to the other side,
i.e. whereas neoliberal pundits omit non-economic values which have a long and outstanding tradition in liberal-
arts colleges, advocates of OCW often times do not account for an economical understanding which has prevented
that OCW has achieved a self-sustaining life cycle. Therefore, instead of keeping on separating both movements
which would only reinforce contrasting views, it will be demonstrated how they can benefit from each oth -
er.
The missing link: Converging Neoliberalism and the OpenCourseWare Movement
The missing link: Converging Neoliberalism and the OpenCourseWare MovementThe Open Education Consortium
This document summarizes a presentation about the convergence of neoliberalism and open courseware movements in education. It defines discourse as a culturally constructed representation that governs what can be discussed. It describes how education has adopted a neoliberal discourse that focuses on competition and producing skills for the global economy. Open courseware is presented as a counter-discourse that values open sharing of educational resources to build upon each other's work. The presentation argues we can learn from both the neoliberal focus on efficiency and open courseware's ethos of sharing knowledge for mutual benefit.The Moderization Perspective
1) The document discusses several perspectives on modernization including the modernization school, evolutionary theory, functionalist theory, and sociological, economic, and political approaches.
2) Rostow's stages of economic growth model proposes that countries progress through five stages from a traditional society to a high-mass consumption society: traditional, preconditions, take-off, drive to maturity, and high mass consumption.
3) Coleman's model of political modernization involves differentiation of political structures, secularization of political culture, and enhancement of a society's political capacity through increasing equality and specialization of roles.
Creativity Meets Rationale - Collaboration Patterns for Social Innovation
Collaborative communities require a wide range of face-to-face and online communication tools. Their socio-technical systems continuously grow, driven by evolving stakeholder requirements and newly available technologies. Designing tool systems that (continue to) match authentic community needs is not trivial. Collaboration patterns can help community members specify customized systems that capture their unique requirements, while reusing lessons learnt by other communnities. Such patterns are an excellent example of combining the strengths of creativity and rationale. In this chapter, we explore the role that collaboration patterns can play in designing the socio-technical infrastructure for collaborative communities. We do so via a cross-case analysis of three Dutch social innovation communities simultaneously being set-up. Our goal with this case study is two-fold: (1) understanding what social innovation is from a socio-technical lens and (2) exploring how the rationale of collaboration patterns can be used to develop creative socio-technical solutions for working communities.
freeculture
This document provides an overview of the Free Culture movement, which advocates transforming cultural production through regulatory frameworks based on peer-to-peer networks, open source, and free software. It mobilizes creative professionals and holds events like the annual Free Culture Forum in Barcelona. The movement defends internet neutrality and openness. It views creativity as a collaborative process of remixing and sharing, rather than being defined by commercial products. While not against markets, it argues that corporate control restricts creativity and that governments should ensure network neutrality and access. The research will take an ethnographic approach to explore the values and practices of digital cultural production within Free Culture through participant observation rather than evaluate its ideology or viability.
