How can we transform the Internet into a Commons?
Peer production disrupts centralised capitalist production through the decentralised use of the Internet and open source technologies. It is a relational dynamic playing out in terms of sharing, openness, co-creation, self-governance and bottom-up eco-techno-social innovation…. a generic form of self-organisation among loosely-affiliated individuals that volunteer on equal footing to reach a common goal’ (Bauwens et al. 2019, 4).
The overarching goal of our nonprofit is to promote the Internet as a Commons by creating courses and discussion groups that facilitate peer production of the infrastructure, thus enabling Community Owned Internet Networks, as we have referred to as the COINcommons. Your thoughts?
