Education (Online + Oakland, California)

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!)

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.
