Hi everyone,


We would like your story ideas about collaboration in the commons!


We will produce 2-3 case studies collecting research and storytelling of collaboration as it occurs over time, reporting our results in the next State of the Commons. We want to investigate and report on the most compelling stories about collaboration in the commons, which means we need to be able to tell the story of when and why a creator first decides to use CC, the kinds of connections they make online, how they invite and encourage collaboration, and what makes them feel like they are valued for their work and part of a community. We’re looking for stories that are similar to the 2016 State of the Commons, but deeper, getting at the heart of what really drives collaboration online.


This is part of the next phase of our work with online content platforms, which consists of two categories of activities: Prosocial work and CC usability projects. More on usability later. With regards to prosocial, read this post we published outlining the work:


“We are broadening our focus to look more holistically at sharing and collaboration online. We will investigate the values and behaviors associated with successful collaboration, in the hopes that we might apply them to content platforms where CC licensing is taking place, thereby enhancing the experience of sharing with CC.”


Fill out this short form (it takes 3 minutes to complete). We plan to contact, interview, and follow these creators or projects over the next year. So if you can think of 1-2 compelling leads, please share. We will keep the form open through 15 August.


We are prioritizing, but not limiting ourselves to, the following fields:


  • 3D printing*

  • Arts & Culture

  • Media & Journalism


Looking forward to your ideas! Please feel free to forward this email to your networks. We will also publish a blog post tomorrow.


Cheers,


Jane & Sarah


*Note that we will be sharing 3D printing story leads with a third party researcher, Stephanie Santoso, formerly with the Obama White House OSTP, who is working with us to further case studies in this field.
