(UNDER CONSTRUCTION) - Please feel free to edit the information on this wiki! This is going into a set of resources to help people orient their way around Edgeryders.
A crew is a group of indivuduals who have committed to travel on shared journey of “open” collaboration towards some shared goal. Beyond the boundaries of any one project.
Why crews, rather than teams?
Edgeryders is a home to many “free radicals” as John puts it. We are continuously doing experimental work in the form of projects driven by different teams. This includes the large, community organised events that bring everyone together.
Many are ephemeral projects that dissolve once project deliverables are over. Over time relationships form between people who choose to continue working with one another towards a shared goal. They become crews.
For more information: Create an account on edgeryders.eu and say hi to the community by posting a short introduction in the community forum. Our community managers will then welcome you in person and help connect you to to the right people, projects and conversations in edgeryders.
