[P2P-F] Call for Participation: P2PValue DataJam

Friends and Peers,

Wednesday March 12th we will launch the P2PValue Directory of Commons 
Based Peer Production. http://directory.p2pvalue.eu

The P2Pvalue directory currently holds more than a hundred cases of CBPP 
(Community Based Peer Production) such as Wikipedia, Free Software 
communities, platforms for collective research, citizen journalism, peer 
to peer financing, hackerspaces etc.

To celebrate the launch we will be hosting a P2PValue Data Jam, a 
collective effort do populate the directory and document as many 
examples of CBPP as possible.

The directory will serve as a valuable tool for researchers in the 
expanding field of CBPP. The data contributed to the directory is 
published with an open license and accessible through our API or for 
downloaded in various formats.

We warmly invite you, peers, commoners to join us on March 12th for the 
P2PValue Data Jam.

========================
Hosting a local Data Jam
========================

The world of CBPP is rich in diversity with projects all over the world, 
we want the directory to reflect this. So wherever you are, why not host 
a get together for the Data Jam. A local Data Jam can be as big or small 
as you like. You can of course contribute alone but it's better with 
friends, all you need is a comfortable place with Internet access, this 
could be at home, a cafe, your workplace or university and don't forget 
the snacks.

We have a public mailing list for planning and coordinating the days 
events. Sign up and say hello, don't be shy.

Over the coming week we will be putting the finishing touches on the 
directory, publishing a how-to video, scheduling hangouts and organising 
teams. We'd love for you to join us.

Please help spread the word and share this announcement in whatever ways 
you can. We are using the hash tags #P2PDATAJAM and #P2PVALUE
