What is the OPEN-i community doing?
The community will manifest its value in a sense of both producing something in common, and in engaging in interesting conversations, but the idea is that the interesting conversations will have some form of structure/goal, but that the community itself should produce the agenda for the conversations. we started out with a small ‘editorial board’ who i interviewed, and then we had a couple of group meetings both f2f and via web conferencing. From this we came up with a series of key topics to get the community going, which have formed the basis for the fist series of live webinars. So the overall goal for the first year is to work through this series of topics, probably returning to each of them periodically and in more depth, and then summarising the discussions to try and formulate a sense of where our practice is today and where it might be going in the future, and what we might do to try to effect positive change in that. One thing that has emerged from this is an idea to have a variety of different kinds of webinars to help work things through.
