Commons-based Peer Production

Campaigns for elections and elected representatives

This is the future site of a Canada-wide campaign to bring commons-based peer production into view of candidates during elections and elected representatives. The idea is to bring Canadians together at the federal, provincial and municipal levels as peers and use peer produced ICT tools (FLOSS) to connect with other people in their ridings, constituencies and wards.

For the 2004 federal election please participate in the campaign being launched by the Digital Copyright Canada forum.

Other related organizations and sites:

Getting Open Source Logic INto Governments (GOSLING) Community links public sector representatives acting as citizens and citizens from other sectors to move forward with an educational campaign within government.
Digital Copyright Canada brings together Canadians, primarily those from the FLOSS creator and user communities, to discuss and influence the ongoing copyright reform agenda.
CANadian OPEN source Education and Research (CanOpenER) brings together Canadians wishing to educate other Canadians about Open Source.
Canadian Linux Users Exchange (CLUE) brings together Linux Users Groups (LUGs) to exchange information Canada-wide.
Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm by Yochai Benkler is the paper that introduced me to the "commons-based peer production" terminology.

If interested to help please contact me.
Thanks.
