"Sharing, Collaboration, Cooperation" Project with CoopEU

I think it's a very interesting initiative and maybe it could be expanded to Latin America. In OSQuito we have a relationship with 3 coworkings linking principal cities quito, GUAYAQUIL and cuenca

Good. For the moment, we're not mandated to research Latam but we could propose it. We'll keep you posted.

e-NABLE is a model to consider. This global network of volunteers innovating free open source 3d printed Prosthetics engages all the collaboration spaces mentioned in a unique humanitarian effort. I'd be happy to contribute.

Great! We'll keep you posted

If the main topic is innovation in a private-public-crowd partnership setting, Sensorica has done some work related to open science.

I reiterate the relevance of the Verdun project here, which in my opinion is a good synthesis and convergence of new innovation practices, establishing a shared space for private-public-crowd partnership.

I also think that Jérémy (OSQ) is well positioned to contribute to this project.

Is there a place on OSQ website of in the drive where someone can follow the development and intervene?

Is this an open and transparent project?

What are the rules or the governance behind it? Who can contribute and how?

What is the methodology of work?

Why is this a OSQ project? What characteristica make it an OSQ project? I know that OSQ rules about who and how someone can formally establish an OSQ project are loose, but have we considered some minimal conditions to be fulfilled before publically calling a project "a OSQ" project? Are these conditions a certain degree of openness to participation and transparency? Are thy about a specific governance applied to it? Are they about a specific methodology?

I am intentionally challenging the community with these questions because I want us to improve our capacity by adding more structure in our processes. A few promising initiatives have not been successful completed in the past for lock of structure. Moreover, the network runs the risk of further damage it's reputation if anyone can launch an OSQ project and run it as a small team project with not much oversight from the rest, or transparency.

Not saying that this project is not good or that the people behind it don't have good intentions. Just saying that if we adopt good practices we avoid project failure and network problems.

Hi Tibi!
Thanks for all that! Yes, you can find all the documentation on Drive (SSC project). We will update the folder on a regular basis. Of course, transparency is key and a core value of OSQ, Chiara and I are committed respecting that value. We will post on Loomio and Slack for any important updates both on international and local groups. We started from the beginning with that process: you can find in the local Loomio the first conversation when we've been asked to participate and call for contributors.

The full budget is also online and of course, the community can contribute to a certain part of the project. Since we are at the beginning of the process, Chiara and I are very open for propositions and we are happy to improve our methods and methodology.

As this project is a consortium with other international contributors, we ask the manager of the project (Louis Cousin) what degree of transparency we are able to reach. He's well aware of the way we work (Ouishare) and the degrees of openness we are looking for in a project.

As you mentioned, Jeremy well positioned to contribute. We are meeting with him Monday to talk about the project and how we can collaborate. You can join us happily tonight at l'Esplanade or if you want to assist in our pre-kick off, Chiara and I are meeting every Tuesday morning at Montreal Cowork or Hangout!
Thanks again for the challenges and we are looking forward to talk about Verdun for the project!

Hey Kiara, I guess we don't know yet each other :) I worked on a part of that topic. I would be happy to offer my contribution and to share you some documents :) please contact me at [email protected] to plan a call. Hear you soon !
