Alustus! Filosofiaa on luonnehdittu pyrkimykseksi vied쎤 kaikki ajatukset 쎤쎤rimm쎤isyyksiin: jos 쎤쎤rimm쎤isyydet ovat j쎤rjett쎶mi쎤 tai kohtuuttomia, sen parempi. Kutkuttavaa on, kun t쎤llainen ankara johdonmukaisuus esiintyy arkiel쎤m쎤ss쎤. “Oppimateriaaligate”ksi sosiaalisessa mediassa nimetty keskustelu syntyi osaltaan kahden johdonmukaisuuden t쎶rm쎤yksest쎤. Leena Olinin v쎤ite, ett쎤 oppimateriaalien vapaa julkaiseminen on toisilta opettajilta varastamista, perustuu ajatukselle, ett쎤 opettajan ty쎶n쎤 on niukan resurssin (informaation, […]

The results of the 3D printing community study I did with Jarkko Moilanen have been neatly visualized in a video by Stephen Murphey. Moreover, the video has been BoingBoing’ed by Cory Doctorow.
Research around 3D printing as an example of commons-based peer production is still minimal (Troxlers study [21] touches on the issues). The approach in the current research has concentrated in defining the overall change and analysing most prominent features. Statistical studies of 3D Printing community are still missing. This research aims to take the first […]
The good people at em_rgencia have published a Spanish translation of one of my articles “Oportunidades Digitales, Imposibilidades Reales La promesa pendiente de la Industria Cultural y el Cibercomunismo” (here is the pdf): Open publication – Free publishing – More antena mutante
Our article on the demographics & motivations of an Open Source Hardware community, the Finnish eCars – Now! -community, has now been published in First Monday. The main findings are that the OSH community members are mostly volunteers and “altruistically” motivated. However, they are significantly older than typical “altruistic” volunteers in Open Source Software communities. […]
‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. I am ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your […]

Kasvatus ja yhteisresurssit -projekti kokoaa yhteen opetusta ja tutkimusta koskien yhteisomaisuutta, (“the commons”), erityisesti oppimisen, tiedon ja yhteiskunnallisen olemisen n쎤k쎶kulmista. Internet on tuonut monien ihmisten el쎤m쎤쎤n uudenlaisia vertaisuuden k쎤yt쎤nt쎶j쎤 ja kokemuksia, kuten esimerkiksi vapaan ja avoimen l쎤hdekoodin hankkeita, Wikipedian ja muita wikej쎤, Open Access -tiedett쎤 ja erilaisia vertaistuotannon muotoja. Tutkimuksellisesti ja opetuksellisesti kiinnostavia kysymyksi쎤 on […]
