- P2PU Board call follow-up
- Future of SOO
- Badges system
- user account that a group of people can use - short term solution
- will require some dev time - dirk is on leave
- badges funded via dml
- long term solution - group of people - how do you invite people to become co-creators, complex usability - find some compromise
- Mozilla
- where would this funding stream come from
- Funding list
- Open governance course (if time) open governance: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/open_governance
= Board follow-up =
1. School of Open - how does it factor into P2PU's future plans? core, or one-off project?
2. P2PU - platform vs community. What does the future hold?
3. CC wants SOO to scale. How will we deal with increasing demand for technical support from course organizers? If we can't meet it with existing resources, should we seek additional resources (staff, funds, etc.). If P2PU doesn't want to expand, does P2PU see SOO eventually branching off into its own initiative with its own funding sources? According to our current MOU, P2PU is responsible for providing all platform, badges, and other tech and design support needs for SOO. Does P2PU still want to be involved in these ways going forward?
4. P2PU the org/staff runs like a volunteer community still. Will this evolve/change, or is this how P2PU will remain for foreseeable future? eg. loose community of learners
