interesting thread - thanks to all personal note - I hope your actions can evolve towards , or include awareness and support for : *" uncommodified, unmanaged, and uncurricularized "* http://p2pfoundation.net/Against_the_Professional_Cooptation_of_Community hence using institutions for de-institutionalization : non monetized, self organized ( and open sourced ), non credentialized. potentially some examples, in addition to informal learning we experience in our daily lives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot_College http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqqVwM6bMM and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_education such as ( when using ICT ) http://www.hole-in-the-wall.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps8MwyJH8Zo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks8D3WE-PbM Personally, I am interested in converging tribes, into ( semi ? ) neo nomadic tribes, even if only for a specific time and specific space, for socially and environmentally regenerative participatory action research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_action_research I spent years hitch hiking, money-less, or almost money-less, and realize a home / base to return to is important. I hope the following space will become a reality, and a starting point for leveraging such approaches http://sharewiki.org/en/Antwerp_Collective I wish to encourage such approaches, or find ways to find overlap, with cooperative institutions, and enable scalability by supporting modular and open source parametric nomadic solutions and infrastructures : http://sharewiki.org/en/Spime_Housing and rapidly spread out such approach in most of the world, regardless of land ownership, money, or credentials, and in support of emergent collective intelligence and the commons.

Joe, Sam, Michel, Wouter,
Thanks for your replies to my initial email about co-operative universities.
http://josswinn.org/2013/12/co-operative-principles-in-higher-education/
At that link are my notes from the seminar held in London this week. For further updates, you can subscribe to my blog (email/RSS) and I will try to document notable developments in this area. See also: http://coopuni.wordpress.com/
We, at Lincoln, are in the process of organising a workshop early next year and probably an edited book on alternative higher education, so those are two ways that we might collaborate on this. In the meantime, a Skype chat sometime early next year is always possible. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this and about any related work you’re doing.
Best, Joss

Hi Joss:
there's likely to be interest in "Human Capabilities and Open Learning" branch of FLOK project (research leads of which copied in here). I'm also interested, and meaning to talk with them and you about Peeragogy (peeragogy.org). Sorry I couldn't make that time in London, but if there are further discussions I may be able to join.
Joe
PS. The FLOK info:
«This research stream will focus on institutional support for capacity building with a special focus on open learning and community driven collaboration. Within this research stream, learning is viewed as a pillar of development and growth in the context of a broad transition to a social economy that embodies reciprocity and commons-based value creation. This includes a particular stress on active public policies that respond to growing social challenges facing Ecuadorean society. Beyond conventional systems of learning and education that might depend upon closed proprietary structures, this research will utilize commons-based learning networks to harness open science and open educational resources (OER). Perhaps most importantly, this includes a broad interest in advancing the public good through partnering frameworks with civil society.» -

Dear Joss and all,
last July I was invited to a "Foresight workshop for Open Education in Higher Education in Europe by 2030" organised by the EC's JRC/IPTS centre to contribute to the development of scenarios for OE in HE & Research.
At least part of the participants was interested in some forms of commons-governed models. Possibly you might be interested in my notes which I put up on my blog at FKI:

I find it very interesting to read your work and interests in such direction.

I wanted to let list members know about a seminar in London on Thursday, but more generally, about emerging work around 'co-operative higher education'. The easiest way to do this is to point to a few blog posts, where I'm trying to document what is happening in the UK:
Seminar details: http://josswinn.org/2013/12/co-operative-university-seminar/
On-going bibliography: http://josswinn.org/2013/11/co-operative-universities-a-bibliography/
A personal account: http://josswinn.org/2013/11/a-co-operative-university/
Summary of recent report: 'Realising the co-operative university': http://josswinn.org/2013/12/realising-the-co-operative-university/
Tag to follow: http://josswinn.org/2013/11/a-co-operative-university/
Buried in that last link is a critique of 'Labour Managed Firms', which might interest list members.
Of course, if anyone is able to attend the seminar this week or is interested in discussing any of this further, please do get in touch.
Thanks Joss
