Liquid Democracy is the combination of networks and democracy.

It is a term or metaphor, designed to capture a more fluid and responsive

participation of citizens in the democratic process.

Votes flow through networks of trusted relationships.

In this way a range of types of “delegation” can be created, from forms we are familiar with such as conventional representative democracy, to fluid

parties and direct democracy.

The Real Problems

1. Institution won’t invest in software

2. No users

• The software is easy

• Requires good design team

• Real budget

• User Aquisition is harder, and more expensive

What if?

• !7.5 billion

• Democratic infrastructure

• Local engagement

• Global Crisis

• International Institutions

Good News

• We’ve found some money

• Open Democratic Backend

• Open Source Mobile framework

• Democracy Kickstarter

• Workshops starting August

Pilots

• SciTopia

THE FUTURE OF OPEN

ANNEMARIE NAYLOR@COMMONFUTRS

THE LARGEST OPEN NETWORK,POSSIBLY IN THE WORLD...

THE OPENINSTITUTE


So, if it’s to succeed in its overarching mission, it’s architecture, foundations and its outer limits

must also be open – by default.

Without this, the impact of Government’s investment in the Open Institute and Tech City, more broadly, is

liable to be highly circumscribed.

HOW CAN EVERYONE GAIN ACCESS TO THE OPEN INSTITUTE?

Build upon the fine grain of long established local institutions, harness the can-do and know-how of Tech City communities,

and translate that via a truly open infrastructure so that innovation, services and growth can benefit everyone.

In short, it should...

Provide access to 100% open, symmetrical

and hybrid networking hardware

Encourage and enable civic engineering

Stimulate participation in MOOCs juxtaposed

broad-ranging Community Publishing initiatives

– knowledge consumption as well as production

The plan... Plan A – a bespoke Local Area Network

Plan B – a community owned and managed WAN for Tech City

Plan C – a!ordable WWW access for all founded upon EITHER

- collaborative consumption principles (shared corporate connections)

- an open ISP capable of wholesale backbone access, group hardware

purchasing and installation support on a social enterprise footing -

subsidised by corporate SR contributions

WHO? WHERE? WHEN? How will we know if it succeeds?

Is it capable of generating a social,

economic and environmental return?

HOW OPEN (OR LIMITED) ARE YOUR AMBITIONS?


...its scale and openness should only be limitedby the ambition of its many civic engineers.

Together, we are supporting the creation of digital assets

and enterprises being developed by and for communities

across the UK. with....

Digital Disruption; http://www.slideshare.net/fredgarnett/we-are-digital

We need open participatory education like

Summerhill school and the Democratic schools

movement. But only 53 democratic schools exist in Europe

Disruptive Collaboration is here, the web is a

platform, users-generate content, mobile phone

cameras document everything, new technology is sold as being creative, but it hasn’t disrupted

educational institutions.

Kondratieff; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave Next 2021; http://heutagogicarchive.wordpress.com/next-2021/

NIACE were formed in the UK calling for

education for all, from which educational

broadcasting, with the BBC, emerged

Kondratieff in Moscow, wrote about long-wave

economic change (50 years) based around

‘meta-technologies’ Our meta-technology, the

micro-processor is due to reach its transformational peak in 2021

!"#!$!"#$%&"'()*"(&+$,%-,%$"..%,(

Intel 4004; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_4004 Convergence; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_convergence/

Intel 4004 was a new meta-technology.

Earlier meta-technologies had evolved into new

analogue networks; rail, road, air, telephone, radio with their own system ‘mission’

Digital technologies however can also replace

earlier analogue technologies, and enable

technological convergence. Convergence is far more socially transformational as it can disrupt

existing economic patterns built around old

technologies

Royal Society; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society Creative Commons; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons

The Royal Society was formed in the UK

beginning the movement for open publishing.

The standard by which scientific thought has (mostly) developed, egos aside, ever since.

Creative Commons applied the idea of open

publishing to the copyright era in 2001, enabling

web-based sharing of content, like this presentation

Internet Society; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Society World Wide Web; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web

The Internet Society wrote its mission

“We envision a future in which people in all parts of

the world can use the Internet to improve their quality of life, because standards, technologies, business

practices, and government policies sustain an open

and universally accessible platform for innovation,

creativity, and economic opportunity”

As Ted Nelson had predicted with Xanadu (1960) Tim

Berners-Lee finally invented the World Wide Web &

digital convergence became possible online.

Learning is Emergent not institutionalised! We need

to design for emergence and create tools to support

that in a wiki-based collaborative world

Emergent Learning Model rethinks learning as

i. Social Processes not classrooms

ii. Content Creation or Curation not textbooks

iii. Quality Assurance not high-stakes assessment

We needed to build new learning exemplars of ‘non-

linear dynamic systems’

Being Insanely Ambitious we decided to test

emergent learning by turning Manchester into an

open Ambient Learning City. Cities have many more learning contexts than a single classroom, so we

decided to test them with MOSI-ALONG

MOSI Ambient Learning Open Network Group

Aggregate then Curate our new #socialmedia participation model creating structured ways for

people to inter-act with their city; even during riots (A

Accreditation of learning annoyed us most

Presented to the Open Institute

July 8 2013 by @fredgarnett

Any University can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab. It is

a platform for learning that a) leverages content abundance,

allows b) learner-generated contexts & purpose c) enables emergent & innovative learning behaviours.

Needs just;

1 Space a room one afternoon a week (or more)

2 Access to Learning Resources (& estates)

3 Affinity Partners discuss & guide, create affinity groups

Any institution can open a WikiQuals Open Learning Lab it is about providing a generative platform

Please help WikiQuals grow up and leave home…
