New to the Commons? | David Bollier

If you’re coming to the commons for the first time, it can be difficult to grok the idea because there are so many different ways to understand the commons.  That’s because the commons is not so much a fixed, universal thing as a general concept describing durable, dynamic sets of social relationships for managing resources -- all sorts of resources:  digital, urban, natural, indigenous, rural, cultural, scientific, to use some crude categories.

Proto-Social Infrastructure and Stewardship of Commitment Pooling

This paper examines Commitment Pooling as a commons-based resource coordination framework. The Commitment Pooling protocol establishes rules for the exchange of resources, emphasizing reciprocity and mutual support. The infrastructure, blending proto-social systems like rotational labor with modern technologies such as blockchain, enables a transition from extractive to cooperative models. Central to this framework is stewardship, ensuring responsible governance and long-term sustainability of the commons. By integrating protocol, infrastructure, and stewardship, Commitment Pooling provides a flexible, scalable model for fostering cooperative, resilient economies and addressing contemporary challenges in resource management.

Breadcrumbs: physical attestations for ecosystem contributions

Hey atmospheric friends, over the weekend I started experimenting with physical attestations, as part of my exploration of an ATScience community labeller. breadcrumbs: physical objects — NFC tags, printed QR codes — that let someone attest to their own participation in something, or let an authority attest that someone did something specific. Two record types separate self-attested contributions (crumbs) from community-authored ones (badges). Lexicons: - `id.breadcrumbs.trail` — self-minted...
