<p>We are delighted to announce the kickoff of the P2PValue Project in which the P2P Foundation will be collaborating for the next three years.</p>
<p>Here is the project outline:</p>
<div><blockquote>Commons-based peer production (CBPP) is a new and increasingly significant model of social innovation based on collaborative production by citizens through the Internet. This project will foster the CBPP phenomenon by providing a techno-social software platform specifically designed to facilitate the creation of resilient and sustainable CBPP communities. The design of the P2Pvalue platform will be empirically and experimentally grounded. Through a triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods, we will elaborate guidelines for the institutional and technical features that favour value creation in CBPP.<br/> <br/>The project focuses on three key areas of improvement over current platforms:<ul>
<li>Enhancing community sustainability by adopting the governance, legal, economic, and technical infrastructures that favour value creation and resilience;</li>
<li>Supporting the contributors with systems of reward that allow value to flow back to the creators;</li>
<li>Integrating the functionalities of online social networking services and collaborative software in a privacy-aware platform based on a decentralised architecture.</li>
</ul>
<br/> <br/>The platform will be tested using the FP7 FIRE CONFINE facilities, which follow a federated approach in alignment with P2Pvalue’s. This will allow us to deploy, run, monitor and experiment with an open ecosystem of distributed P2Pvalue nodes within the CONFINE community networks. Evaluation of the P2Pvalue platform will be supported by experimentation on 3-4 communities that will adopt the platform. Additionally a "Stakeholder Board", composed of external experts and user representatives, will provide periodical evaluation reports to the project.<br/> <br/>The project takes multi-disciplinary approach: open source software development (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), social network analysis & simulation (University of Surrey, Universidad Complutense de Madrid), sociology (University of Surrey, Università degli Studi di Milano), political science & online governance (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), law & interface design (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), economic innovation (Università degli Studi di Milano, P2PF, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), CBPP practices (P2PF, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).</blockquote>
<br/> <br/>We will be working alongside many familiar faces among the project participants and stakeholder board and will be updating here, on the project site and through social networks using the hashtag #P2PValue.</div>when the economy becomes collaborativetag:p2pfoundation.ning.com,2012-10-24:2003008:BlogPost:471772012-10-24T08:31:57.000ZChris Pinchenhttp://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/ChrisPinchen

<p><em>Exchanging houses during vacation time, sharing car with strangers, designing a lamp for one’s own living room in a FabLab, proposing a packaging design for a favorite brand, inventing a solution to help a company innovate, writing a article in wikipedia or a hotel review in a tourism site, ordering with neighbors organic vegetables... collaborative practices between individuals or between individuals and businesses are multiplying around us.</em></p>
<div><p>Equipped with Internet and the Web, strangers can interact, share, and cooperate at distance, consequently opening new development perspectives for our patterns of consumption, production and creation.</p>
<p><br/> Therefore companies are invited to revisit their methods of organization, the way they innovate, their customer relationship as their clients become actors, as well as their models for sharing value.<br/> Orange, as a major player in the information economy, is interested in these emerging transformations, which constitute both challenges and opportunities.</p>
<p>The report "<span style="color: #ff6600;">Synthetic overview of the collaborative economy</span>", coproduced by <span style="color: #ff6600;">Orange Labs</span> and the <span style="color: #ff6600;">P2P Foundation</span>, provides a thorough mapping of the actors involved in this cooperative economy: for the first time, nearly all the dots of the emerging collaborative economy, and their inter-relation, are presented in a single overview.</p>

<p>The P2P Foundation is a non-profit organization, a knowledge commons and a global community of researchers and advocates that monitors the emergence of peer to peer dynamics in every field of society and human activity. Peer production, governance, and property models that are characterized by open access, participatory process of governance, and property formats that guarantee universal access are monitored. The aims of the P2P Foundation is to act as a global community of researchers, focused on understanding phenomena such as open innovation, co-creation and co-design, crowd-sourcing and crowd-funding. Of particular interest is the intersection between the newly enabled 'horizontal' social processes, with the pre-existing, more 'vertically' oriented institutions, such as corporations and governments. In our research collection we have particularly focused on the sustainability of open practices, i.e. on open business models.</p>

<p>ExploitHub Authors Can Now Split Their Payouts with Selected Charities.</p>
<p>ExploitHub, the first legitimate marketplace for validated, non-zero-day exploits, announced today the introduction of the ExploitHub Charities and Causes Program. This program allows Authors that submit exploits and other products to the ExploitHub market to split their revenue with selected charities.</p>
<p>Three initial charities may now receive donations via the ExploitHub revenue split mechanism as of today's launch. <strong>These charities are the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Hackers for Charity, and the P2P Foundation</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>“Early on we implemented a feature of ExploitHub where an Author could split the revenue payout among more than one Author. This was originally intended to allow for the Authors of collaborative works to be properly compensated. Since we have this feature available, why not let Authors split their payouts with a favorite charity or cause?" said Dustin D. Trammell, Director of Technology for ExploitHub. “Today, we're happy to announce our Charities and Causes program, which allows ExploitHub Authors to do just that.”</blockquote>
<p>ExploitHub functions by accepting non-zero-day exploits and other products from Authors and making them available for sale via the exploithub.com website. Penetration Testers, Security Device and Software Vendors, and other interested parties can then purchase these exploits to perform comprehensive and accurate security assessments. ExploitHub takes a percentage of each sale to cover business expenses.</p>
<p>More information on ExploitHub’s Charities and Causes Program can be found at <a href="http://www.exploithub.com/charities-and-causes">http://www.exploithub.com/charities-and-causes</a>. Charities and other notable causes that benefit from donations may find out more or inquire about enrolling by contacting charities@exploithub.com.</p>
<h3>About ExploitHub</h3>
<p><br/>ExploitHub is the information security community's first legitimate marketplace for validated, non-zero-day exploits. Our goal is to close the capabilities gap between the cyber-criminals and white hats by enabling defenders to perform more comprehensive testing of their defenses. Greater access to functional exploits permits penetration testers to perform comprehensive and accurate assessments quicker and more efficiently. Security Vendors can also more adequately test the effectiveness of their products. The ExploitHub marketplace further empowers a diverse industry of security researchers to monetize their work and contribute to improving security defenses.

<br/>*** Paris, September 22nd, 2011 —Civil society groups today launched an online platform to help citizens track Internet access restrictions imposed by telecom companies. This platform, RespectMyNet.eu [1], will present EU lawmakers with the evidence they keep denying: there is an urgent need to legislate against Net Neutrality violations, which harm fundamental freedoms as well as innovation and competition. ***</p>
<p><br/> Net Neutrality, which refers to the principle of non-discrimination of Internet communications, is at the core of the democratic, social and economic benefits brought about by the Internet.<br/>
“The online freedom of every European citizen is now under attack by big telecom operators who want to control what you do online. They want to block or slow down websites and even charge extra for using cheap internet telephony services. The Netherlands should soon prohibit these unacceptable practices. But this is not enough: every European has a right to an open internet.” declared Ot van Daalen of the Dutch digital rights organisation Bits of Freedom [2].</p>
<p><br/> “European lawmakers have turned a blind eye on the issue for more than two years. EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes' report on the matter argued [3] that there was no evidence of the need for Net Neutrality regulation. Such a wait-and-see attitude is shocking considering the reality of operators' traffic management practices, and their impact on online freedoms, competition and the whole digital economy.” said Jérémie Zimmermann, spokesperson for citizen advocacy group La Quadrature du Net.</p>
<p><br/> To back up their call for a EU-wide protection of Net Neutrality, civil society groups released today RespectMyNet.eu.<br/>
"RespectMyNet.eu is an online platform enabling citizens to become the watchmen of the Internet by reporting Net Neutrality violations. Everyone is invited to report undue blocking or throttling of their Internet access, and help name and shame operators who engage in harmful practices." concluded Zimmermann.<br/>

<p>Hivos (The Hague) and The Centre for Internet and Society (Bangalore) consolidate their 3 year knowledge inquiry into the field of youth, technology and change in the 4 book collective "Digital AlterNatives with a cause?". This collaboratively produced collective, edited by Nishant Shah and Fieke Jansen,asks critical and pertinent questions about theory and practice around 'digital revolutions' in a post MENA (Middle East - North Africa) world. It works with multiple vocabularies and frameworks and produces dialogues and conversations between digital natives, academic and research scholars, practitioners, development agencies and corporate structures to examine the nature and practice of digital natives in emerging contexts from the Global South. The books are available for a free download in a .pdf format.<br/> <br/>Introduction<br/>In the 21st Century, we have witnessed the simultaneous growth of internet and digital technologies on the one hand, and political protests and mobilisation on the other. Processes of interpersonal relationships, social communication, economic expansion, political protocols and governmental mediation are undergoing a significant transition, across in the world, in developed and emerging Information and Knowledge societies.<br/>The young are often seen as forerunners of these changes because of the pervasive and persistent presence of digital and online technologies in their lives. The “ Digital Natives with a Cause?” is a research inquiry that uncovers the ways in which young people in emerging ICT contexts make strategic use of technologies to bring about change in their immediate environments. Ranging from personal stories of transformation to efforts at collective change, it aims to identify knowledge gaps that existing scholarship, practice and popular discourse around an increasing usage, adoption and integration of digital technologies in processes of social and political change.<br/> <br/>Methodology<br/>In 2010-11, three workshops in Taiwan, South Africa and Chile, brought together around 80 people who identified themselves as Digital Natives from Asia, Africa and Latin America, to explore certain key questions that could provide new insight into Digital Natives research, policy and practice. The workshops were accompanied by a ‘Thinkathon’ – a multi-stakeholder summit that initiated conversations between Digital Natives, academic researchers, scholars, practitioners, educators, policy makers and corporate representatives to share learnings on new questions: Is one born digital or does one become a Digital Native? How do we understand our relationship with the idea of a Digital Native? How do Digital Natives redefine ‘change’ and how do they see themselves implementing it? What is the role that technologies play in defining civic action and social movements? What are the relationships that these technology based identities and practices have with existing social movements and political legacies? How do we build new frameworks of sustainable citizen action outside of institutionalisation?<br/> <br/>Rationale<br/>One of the knowledge gaps that this book tries to address is the lack of digital natives’ voices in the discourse around them. In the occasions that they are a part of the discourse, they are generally represented by other actors who define the frameworks and decide the issues which are important. Hence, more often than not, most books around digital natives concentrate on similar sounding areas and topics, which might not always resonate with the concerns that digital natives and other stake-holders might be engaged with in their material and discursive practice. The methodology of the workshops was designed keeping this in mind. Instead of asking the digital natives to give their opinion or recount a story about what we felt was important, we began by listening to their articulations about what was at stake for them as e-agents of change. As a result, the usual topics like piracy, privacy, cyber-bullying, sexting etc. which automatically map digital natives discourse, are conspicuously absent from this book. Their absence is not deliberate, but more symptomatic of how these themes that we presumed as important were not of immediate concerns to most of the participants in the workshop who are contributing to the book.<br/> <br/>Structure<br/>The conversations, research inquiries, reflections, discussions, interviews, and art practices are consolidated in this four part book which deviates from the mainstream imagination of the young people involved in processes of change. The alternative positions, defined by geo-politics, gender, sexuality, class, education, language, etc. find articulations from people who have been engaged in the practice and discourse of technology mediated change. Each part concentrates on one particular theme that helps bring coherence to a wide spectrum of style and content.<br/> <br/>Book 1: To Be: Digital AlterNatives with a Cause? Download <a href="http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=648&qid=91900" target="_blank">here</a><br/>The first part, To Be, looks at the questions of digital native identities. Are digital natives the same everywhere? What does it mean to call a certain population ‘Digital Natives”? Can we also look at people who are on the fringes – Digital Outcasts, for example? Is it possible to imagine technology-change relationships not only through questions of access and usage but also through personal investments and transformations? The contributions help chart the history, explain the contemporary and give ideas about what the future of technology mediated identities is going to be.<br/>Book 2: To Think: Digital AlterNatives with a Cause? Download <a href="http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=649&qid=91900" target="_blank">here</a><br/>In the second section, To Think, the contributors engage with new frameworks of understanding the processes, logistics, politics and mechanics of digital natives and causes. Giving fresh perspectives which draw from digital aesthetics, digital natives’ everyday practices, and their own research into the design and mechanics of technology mediated change, the contributors help us re-think the concepts, processes and structures that we have taken for granted. They also nuance the ways in which new frameworks to think about youth, technology and change can be evolved and how they provide new ways of sustaining digital natives and their causes.<br/> <br/>Book 3: To Act: Digital AlterNatives with a Cause? Download <a href="http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=650&qid=91900" target="_blank">here</a><br/>To Act is the third part that concentrates on stories from the ground. While it is important to conceptually engage with digital natives, it is also, necessary to connect it with the real life practices that are reshaping the world. Case-studies, reflections and experiences of people engaged in processes of change, provide a rich empirical data set which is further analysed to look at what it means to be a digital native in emerging information and technology contexts.<br/> <br/>Book 4: To Connect : Digital AlterNatives with a Cause? Download <a href="http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=651&qid=91900" target="_blank">here</a><br/>The last section, To Connect, recognises the fact that digital natives do not operate in vacuum. It might be valuable to maintain the distinction between digital natives and immigrants, but this distinction does not mean that there are no relationships between them as actors of change. The section focuses on the digital native ecosystem to look at the complex assemblage of relationships that support and are amplified by these new processes of technologised change.<br/>We see this book as entering into a dialogue with the growing discourse and practice in the field of youth, technology and change. The ambition is to look at the digital (alter)natives as located in the Global South and the potentials for social change and political participation that is embedded in their interactions through and with digital and internet technologies. We hope that the book furthers the idea of a context-based digital native identity and practice, which challenges the otherwise universalist understanding that seems to be the popular operative right now. We see this as the beginning of a knowledge inquiry, rather than an end, and hope that the contributions in the book will incite new discussions, invoke cross-sectorial and disciplinary debates, and consolidate knowledges about digital (alter)natives and how they work in the present to change our futures.<br/> <br/>Contact us: nishant@cis-india.org and fjansen@hivos.nl if you want more information, resources, or dialogues<br/>Nishant Shah<br/>Fieke Jansen<br/>Thank you<br/>Prasad Krishna<br/>Publication Manager<br/>Centre for Internet and Society<br/>#194, Second 'C' cross<br/>Domlur Second Stage<br/>Domlur<br/>Bangalore, 560071<br/><br/></p>Update on Campaign for Commons Literacytag:p2pfoundation.ning.com,2011-09-02:2003008:BlogPost:347762011-09-02T05:17:16.000ZChris Pinchenhttp://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/ChrisPinchen

<p>The Campaign for Commons Literacy is definitely progressing although not as rapidly as we would like it. So far the <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/CommonsCampaign"><span>http://www.indiegogo.com/CommonsCampaign</span></a> page with our video got 2935 page views; we have 14 crowdfunders who donated a total of $946; our Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfCommoning"><span>http://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfCommoning</span></a> attracted 144 “Likes.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even more important than those figures is the outpouring of interest and solidarity that triggers good conversations, in which people from different continents and walks of life tell us about their enthusiasm for getting involved with the campaign in various ways. So the Campaign is already becoming what it was intended to: one of the dynamic hubs of the commons movement. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another important news is that we’re merging with the Commons Learning Alliance, under the name of School of Commoning. By the end of next week, we plan to launch the Campaign Commons, a multi-platform web space, centered on the SoC site as its coordination and learning hub. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are also planning to use James Quilligan visit to the UK later this month, to feature him in our Meetings with Remarkable Commoners that Michel Bauwens graciously inaugurated in May. In December, we hope to introduce Silke Helfrich to the London commoning scene, in the same series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To finish this message, let me quote a graffiti on our Facebook wall:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All boats rise with the tide. And so it is with commoning. Working together raises our collective potential for a higher quality of life. </p>
<p>The current tide of history is the Commons.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here’s a beautiful illustration, giving us a visual reminder of that simple fact of life: </p>

<p>Societing Summer School2nd Edition Social Movements and Social Innovation in the Mediterranean. In many ways, the Mediterranean has been in the shadow of the history of 20th century. But now it emerges anew. The uprisings in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt surprised everyone with the vigor and energy. They might very well spread to Greece, Italy and Spain.</p>
<p>At any rate these countries seem to be at the vanguard of a future marked by precarity, economic decline sovereign default and moral collapse of the state. (In Lombardy, Italy’s most prosperous region, only 20 per cent of university graduates are able to land a permanent employment contract).</p>
<p>At the same time the diffusion of social media has been extremely quick in these countries. (Facebook grew by 2000 per cent in Italy in 2009.) And this has had profound consequences. For young people in Tunisia and Egypt, Facebook and Twitter have provided new means of staying in touch and remaining connected to the world.</p>
<p>In Italy Facebook provides a way to mobilize and organize in a situation where the traditional public spaces are in decline. At the same time social media point at new ways of facilitating economic processes, making possible new ways of doing business and creating wealth, like Social Entrepreneurship, crowd- sourcing, micro-finance, and new forms of social innovation from below. This second edition of the Societing Summer School wants to focus on the role of new media in the changing Mediterranean (broadly defined).</p>
<p>We want to discuss and analyze what new ways of doing business, politics and life in general that Social Media have facilitated, and how they play out within overall political and economic changes in the Mediterranean region. What is the strategic perspective for the Meditteranean region for the next decade? What implications does this have for politics, business and society?</p>
<p>And how do New Media play into these scenarios of change? What new kinds of social innovation can we imagine in the region? The school will last for 6 days The program will combine morning seminars in which we explore, in the company of experts, issues like new media and politics, social entrepreneurship and sustainability, new business forms and the geopolitics and history of the Mediterranean, with a rich cultural program in the evenings, devoted to exploring in loco the culture and history of the Mediterranean region.</p>
<p>The last day of the school will be devoted to presenting the results of our discussions in a public event. A Summer School is supposed to be fun, and despite an intense program we will cater to ludic aspects with a rich cultural program, dinners parties and midnight seminars. We do not intend to replicate the experience of university or school, but rather to provide an interactive context for collective knowledge creation where we all participate as equals.</p>
<p>The working language will be English, and the summer school is open to students from all around the world, as well as for managers, academics, professionals and other interested and interesting individuals.</p>

<blockquote><p>“As an upshot of recent revolts in the Arab world, the Choke Point Project raises the question of who actually exercises control over the internet. The WWW is generally perceived as a</p>
<p>decentralized medium, and many people hold the opinion that it can be used as a means of communication beyond the reach of power relationships and unimpeded by authoritarian</p>
<p>structures. Recent events, however, reveal that this view doesn’t correspond to reality at all. Rather, individual politicians are able to cut off internet access on the part of an entire nation.</p>
<p>The declared aim of this project initiated by the P2P Foundation is to locate nodes of the internet and to demonstrate how simple it is to prevent large segments of the populace from</p>
<p>getting online. But this project is much more than the visualization of a “map of the Web”; it also collects strategies and opportunities to evade just such weak spots in order to free the</p>
<p>internet from the clutches of power structures and turn over control to the individual.”</p>

<p>This project is meant for people curious about transparency and control of the networking technologies, their use and abuse by nation states and corporations leading towards new tool sets being produced to distribute connectivity beyond traditional powers. Telephony and the Internet have had a huge impact on society, both positive and negative. Following the uprisings in the Middle East in 2011, where the Internet was “turned off”, we aim to provide a close-to real-time map of leverage points expressed through the powerful medium of data visualization, a map which web users can see what’s happening across the pipes, cables and transmission towers of the internet at any given time in relation to traffic being choked, filtered or tampered with. We also aim to support research and public discourse covering these topics to deepen understanding and further knowledge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Goals</strong></p>
<p>1. Build a real-near time map that shows citizens directly the current state of the internet (its pipes and connections) and traffic flows, a dynamic responsive resource letting users easily tap on different countries, cities and determine their own levels of surveillance (where possible).</p>
<p>2. Explore new models for distributed Internet infrastructures for circumventing control by autocratic governments in favor of supporting local communities of people globally to possibly own and maintain their own connectivity. We also intend to explore where networked technologies might evolve into over the coming decades and what implications these may have on our ideas of nation states, corporations and citizens/groups of all shape and size.</p>Saskia Sassen - "city civic movements in a global world" Today!tag:p2pfoundation.ning.com,2011-04-18:2003008:BlogPost:242672011-04-18T06:05:53.000ZChris Pinchenhttp://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/ChrisPinchen

Citilab is an open question and, therefore, there are as many different answers as there are people who form a part of this project. All those who recently attended the CCCB (Barcelona’s Centre for Contemporary Culture) so that the illustrious Ramon Sangüesa, director of Innovation at Citilab, could explain to us what sort of project it is, and what it can contribute as a cultural model, certainly the thing that nobody expected was for a man of more than 90 summers, (the eldest “citilaber“) to make things very clear via a video spontaneously recorded some months ago.<br />
<br />
In an 8 minute video-ette which comprised part of the presentation one could perceive very personal Citilabs and experiencies that make up this project "in construction" (will it ever stop being so?) of more than a year-and-a-half of life. Sangüesa dedicated a good slice of the presentation to highlighting what we have all learnt along the way during this time, the positive experiences and also the negative ones (we can always learn more from our mistakes).<br />
<br />

<b>A model to copy</b><br />
There was no shortage after the presentation of a whole raft of questions, the majority directed at knowing what there is behind Citilab and in what way this model can be replicated.<br />
One often believes that the future comes in the shape of a Business Plan, and this was exactly the question that was posed: what course is this project going to follow, let’s say, in five years time. "If we adopt a rigid structure and we predetermine it to a large extent, we run the risk of coming to a halt", was the answer from Ramon Sangüesa.<br />
The idea is to go on exploring the field of social innovation in ambits as diverse as education and social participation and above all learn which are the concrete indicators to be measured, a task which Citilab can count on the University of Columbia (USA) for.<br />
<br />
And companies? Well those that come nearest to seeing citizens as a source of innovation are the Living Labs, a model which, according to Sangüesa, "currently is what companies and Government Administration looks to but we want to go further".<br />
