A pop-up, demand driven, DIY Lab?
Ok some loose and fast thoughts.
If we’re crowdfunding and selling intelligence to private sector organisation we need to do two things
- Decide how to communicate what lote is, especially this new format. Ok yes it takes place of various channels: online conversation, and then physical event then online conversation. We know good things come out of it. But what is it? How do describe it in terms of what it does/ outcomes it generates.E.g. could it be a version of this- a kind of demand-driven, pop-up lab? Is it an accelerator? What do we calls something which draws many people to get together, build something, and then disband?
Victor was onto something in our community call yesterday: The interesting angle and strength of EdgeRyders is in combining offline and online in community stewardship of assets and communities. Hybrid commons projects that acknowledge what’s the right tool/strategy (online&offline) for each context. EdgeRyders itself is exploring how you take largely online community to do offline things- how to close the online offline loop/cycle effectively is A) very interesting B) very timely C) something that Edgeryders has experience with."
- embody the outcomes in some form that makes the value visible. Ideally tangible.
Some examples:
1. “Global Stewardship on the Edge: The Alternative to Problem-Solving Leadership in Times of Crisis". E-book, video interviews etc.
Call for contributions being designed here as a followup to the discussions we had in this community call. Once call is finalised it will be published on Edgeryders, FB, Linkedin, and other appropriate fora. We will also experiment with FB and linkedin Ads to reach beyond our network.
Maps, Posters and Factographs:
An app
Social Coin and Smart Citizen kits
Any other ideas? Really what we need to do is to brainstorm and fill in this template. Should we have a google hangout dedicated to it?
