Re: [ox-en] Awards

[Converted from multipart/alternative]

[1 text/plain]
I have created a preliminary page here:

http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Awards

this is what we have so far:

Franz Nahrada has proposed, and is working, on getting funding for a series
of P2P Awards.

Alex Rollin has started a page at the P2P Foundation's Ning community, to
keep track of proposals, at
http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/group/p2pawards/forum/topics/p2p-awards-areas

This wiki page will be used to consolidate the information that is collated
in this way.

] Detailed proposals

Franz Nahrada:

   - Award for Outstanding Achievements in Peer Production

This is an activity which will force us naturally to deeply consider and
evaluate the things that are going on instead of looking at them
superficially. The main benefit is that we really have to challenge each
other on quality and useability of things and creations instead of
reproducing the developers mantra that "my stuff is simply the best because
I do it out of fun" (sorry, did not mean to hurt anybody!)

] Criteria

Stefan Merten:

"The word "best" in all the suggestions is perhaps the hardest thing. What
does "best" mean? Indeed: What is the criteria for "best" after all? In
particular I think the criteria will differ widely between Oekonux and P2P
Foundation. IMHO the criteria is the most important thing which needs to be
solved - otherwise nobody takes you serious and the award will have no
effect."

seek: visibility, public image....* (Franz Nahrada)

"The question is whether Oekonux / P2P Foundation (at the moment) has enough
visibility, public image for this. Fund raising for the conference failed
miserably and IMHO this is a pretty similar case.

And AFAICS if Peter Weibel sponsors this then it will be *his* project."

And on [spox] - which I just forwarded here. I'll quote the respective
part here because it contains important aspects.

I like the idea especially because it makes us think and requires
in-depth empirical research - or rather this applies to the jury.

The word "best" in all the suggestions is perhaps the hardest thing.
What does "best" mean? Indeed: What is the criteria for "best" after
all? In particular I think the criteria will differ widely between
Oekonux and P2P Foundation. IMHO the criteria is the most important
thing which needs to be solved - otherwise nobody takes you serious
and the award will have no effect.

I have discussed that with Peter Weibel and I think the ZKM in Karlsruhe
could be an interesting partner to do this. But there might be MANY other
options because this is exactly what corporations and public
administration seek: visibility, public image....


The question is whether Oekonux / P2P Foundation (at the moment) has
enough visibility, public image for this. Fund raising for the
conference failed miserably and IMHO this is a pretty similar case.

And AFAICS if Peter Weibel sponsors this then it will be *his*
project.


Of couse the jury should be composed from people nominated by Oekonux and
the p2p Foundation....


Yes.
