Jono Bacon spoke about how open
communities are changing the world and how they may be improved in the future.
Community 1.0
- Early Free Software communities were built from observing other groups around
them and figuring things out as they went along.
- Very high technical barrier of entry
Community 2.0
The Renaissance
- Allowed broader participation, with Wikipedia as an example.
- Knowledge had been built to allow people to start in the community from a
common point
- Self organising groups
- Enabled greater diversity
- Companies began engaging with communities.
What Does 3.0 Look Like?
- How do we build effective reproducible communities?
- Thoughtful and productive communities advance the human race,
- Sharing the knowledge on how to build effective communities is going to be
- Covered ubiquitous computing growth, 3D printing, Arduino etc
- Crowd funding as one method of empowering consumers.
- Not just consumption but empowering people to have better lives,
key.
- We need to empower diversity in all it's forms.
- Openness is the greatest enabler.
- The principles of openness are flowing through all forms of technology, life
and work.
- In a world worried about AI, we the people should be ensuring that it's open
and taking control.
"Open Source is where society innovates"
- Jono Bacon
- We need to crack predictable collaboration. Making great great community
leadership available everyone.
- We can do better, we've only scratch the surface with our success thus far.
How do we do this?
- For self respect we need to contribute. To contribute we need access.
- Jono realised that his role as community manager was to help other
contributors be as effective as possible with their time when they're
contributing.
- Discussed the difference between system 1 and system 2 thinking.
- However behavioural economics is hard to apply in practice.
- The principles can be pulled out and used though.
- Discussed SCARF model of
social threats and rewards.
- From this model we can figure out how to put this into practice.
- We accomplish goals indirectly. Gave Boeing as an example.
- We influence behaviour with small actions. Recommended the book Lunch.
- Build comprehensive rewarding experiences.
- Need to make building a successfully structured community easy.
- Described experiences from different stakeholder perspectives.
community_3.0 = {
system 1 and 2 thinking +
behavioural patterns +
workflow +
experiences +
pacakaged guidance
}
The most important feeling we can create is a sense of belonging.
