[P2P-F] ows as peer production

[Michel Bauwens]

in response to another letter:

I think ows produces a political commons and does that pretty much in a
standard peer production way,

they have a commons, zuccoti park,

they have the general assembly and different substructures, but which do
not command and control the movement,

for example, the finance working group, which looks for money,

they have sophisticated provisioning systems

the last three are equivalent to the for-benefit associations in open
source,

finally, they have an enterpreneurial coalition, such as the ows street
vendor association,

I have documented this through
http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:OccupyWallStreet, in detail,

so,

ows produces 'politics', and it has governance,

it has no clear property, but the commons aspect, i.e. it can be used and
remixed, would cover that

this is quite illuminating, http://p2pfoundation.net/Occupy_Wall_Street_API
