dear Kevin can you announce this on our p2p list ? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Linksvayer <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 4:17 AM Subject: [commoning] Wikipedia Barn Raising July 19, focusing on Open Education (Online + Oakland, California) To: commoning <[email protected]> Six months ago there was a fascinating thread on this list subject: "The Co-operative University" and I recall thinking that most of what was discussed was inadequately represented or totally absent from Wikipedia. I'm helping with an event in six days (info below) to improve articles related to open education on Wikipedia. It would be great to have some participants with knowledge of "education as a commons" citations and concepts, to improve existing articles or create new ones. (It seems http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Education will be very useful to draw from. Thank you Michel Bauwens and everyone who has contributed to that compendium over the years!) Mike ... Please join us for a "Wikipedia Barn Raising" event focusing on Open Educational Resources (OER). The Barn Raising will happen on Saturday July 19th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time (1800-2300 UTC), at the Oakland Impact Hub, at 2323 Broadway (near the 19th St. BART station) and online. Lunch and refreshments will be provided at Oakland Impact Hub. Since 2012, we've been working to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of OER and related topics. We've worked to build an international community around this goal at conferences, through our online "Writing Wikipedia Articles" (WIKISOO) course, and through the formation of WikiProject Open. At the Barn Raising, we will focus on improving high-priority Wikipedia articles, and consider ways to strengthen WikiProject Open as a resource for staying connected, learning, and working together. We'll also welcome online participants from around the world, with collaboration tools and scheduled video check-ins.
