Yes. Thank you. A member of the winning team - Roger Connah - happens to be a visiting professor at my university. We went for a beer yesterday and had in interesting conversation - hopefully he will throw in some ideas for the Wiki architecture project.

Open Source Architecture and Adaptive Co-management: processes for social innovation?

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 03:36:36 +0000

The open source architecture project by Arch1k mirrors established open source activities in other domains in a most interesting way - offering tangible opportunities for expression in collaborative space. I am here because I am looking for resonance among social innovations like this one, and other themes, like adaptive co-management (a strategy for self-governance using approaches that are collaborative, multi-level, cross-scale, and based on learning organisations), and the Carleton farmers Market, for another. One of the most important parts of this White House Redux project for me is the way that the idea of open source architecture removes traditional boundaries and filters to participation and encourages and enables practices supportive of social innovation. It will be most interesting to see how this novel architectural discourse unfolds!
