Friends and Peers,
Wednesday March 12th we will launch the P2PValue Directory of
Commons Based Peer Production.
http://directory.p2pvalue.eu
The P2Pvalue directory currently holds more than a hundred cases
of CBPP (Community Based Peer Production) such as Wikipedia,
Free Software communities, platforms for collective research,
citizen journalism, peer to peer financing, hackerspaces etc.
To celebrate the launch we will be hosting a P2PValue
Data Jam, a collective
effort do populate the directory and document as many examples
of CBPP as possible.
The directory will serve as a valuable tool for researchers in
the expanding field of CBPP. The
data
contributed to the directory is published with an open license
and accessible through our API or for downloaded in various
formats.
We warmly invite you, peers, commoners to join us on March 12th
for the P2PValue
Data Jam.
========================
Hosting a local
Data Jam
========================
The world of CBPP is rich in diversity with projects all over
the world, we want the directory to reflect this. So wherever
you are, why not host a get together for the
Data
Jam. A local
Data Jam can be as big or small as you like. You
can of course contribute alone but it's better with friends, all
you need is a comfortable place with Internet access, this could
be at home, a cafe, your workplace or university and don't
forget the snacks.
We have a public mailing list for planning and coordinating the
days events. Sign up and say hello, don't be shy.

Over the coming week we will be putting the finishing touches on
the directory, publishing a how-to video, scheduling hangouts
and organising teams. We'd love for you to join us.
Please help spread the word and share this announcement in
whatever ways you can. We are using the hash tags #
P2PDATAJAM and #P2PVALUE
