how the p2pu community chose an open licence

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Which open licence to use is an important issue to commons based peer production communities.

The member of communities can become, lets say passionate about which licence is appropriate. Thats understandable because peer producers are passionate about sharing, and want to find the best way for that community to share.

So how can communities agree on what open licence is appropriate. p2pu has decided to share the community process we went through to choose an open licence, not because we think everyone has to do it that way but because by sharing our story we hope to help and inspire others. You can read about the full process or a blogpost.

Early verdict on Copyright for Educators

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Feedback from a participant in the Copyright for Educators Course:

Readers of this blog kindly made suggestions for an online course on copyright for educators.
The first iteration of the course was run through the Peer to Peer University project.

One of the participants, Tom Caswell has blogged on his early reflections on participating in Copyright for Educators. Thanks Tom, this kind of feedback is very useful in any iterative process, and the p2pu concept is most definitely iterative.
