Schlagwort: peer-production

This is part 9 of a weekly series of articles to appear in the journal Critical Studies in Peer Production (CSPP). In the series I try to describe analytical patterns developed by the Oekonux Project since over ten years of research on Free Software and commons-based peer production. Please visit the introducing part for the background. Already released patterns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Einen der besten Aspekte des COM’ON—Workshop vom letzten Samstag fand ich die Art und Weise der Durchführung. Das übliche Vortrags- und Fragen+Antworten-Spiel im großen Kreis fehlte fast völlig, stattdessen gab es nach den vier kurzen (je 15 Minuten) Inputvorträgen zu Beginn nur Diskussion in wechselnden Kleingruppen von je etwa zehn bis fünfzehn Leuten. Nachmittags fand ein World-Café statt, wo an fünf Tischen parallel unterschiedliche Aspekte der Commons diskutiert wurden. Dieser Beitrag dokumentiert die Debatte an „meinem“ Tisch zum Thema: „Was passiert mit den bestehenden Produktionsstrukturen im Falle einer gesellschaftlichen Transformation?“

Last Saturday I attended the workshop COM‘ ON! — Die alte Eigentumswelt dreht sich, see commons.rosalux.de for the homepage.

The workshop has been organized by the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung which is the foundation of the party „Die Linke“ in Germany. „Die Linke“ is the socialist party in Germany. As far as I understood the Keimform people co-organized this event.

The workshop has been attended by about 40 persons. At least 8 of them were on the Oekonux list at some point. It was very nice to meet all these people again — some of them I had not met since years.

Vor einem Monat habe ich auf dem Grazer Elevate-Festival an einer Diskussionsrunde zum Thema Von der Ich-AG zur Peer Production? Arbeit und Produktion im 21. Jahrhundert teilgenommen. Inzwischen gibt es die Videoaufzeichnung der Veranstaltung im Netz, die auch live im österreichischen „Offenen Kanal“ Okto.tv ausgestrahlt wurde:

Um die Peer-Produktion geht es erst im zweiten Teil der Diskussion, ungefähr ab Minute 1:11 (beginnend mit einem längeren Input von mir). (mehr …)
