Helping out OSE

Occasionally Book Sprints helps projects out by applying our experience in Collaborative Knowledge Production to assist projects. In these cases the process is not a Book Sprint as such but we bring to the table facilitation to help produce content in a variety of contexts. A good example of this has been the work we have done with the United Nations Development Project to assist with the collaborative production of a Lexicon of Electoral Terms in 8 Arabic regional dialects (and English and French). Another interesting project is assisting the Open Source Ecology project to document their work.

OSE is a great project looking at creating and documenting the production of “a set of the 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist”.

April 25-28 Book Sprint facilitator trainee Amanda French will travel to Missouri to facilitate the production of documentation for the OSE compressed brick Machine.
