[Ci4cg-announce] Please take a look... The Green New Deal is the Real Deal

[Doug Schuler]

Happy New Year!   We hope...

As some of you know I've been working on an article tentatively called "The
Green New Deal is the Real Deal." I'm now in the process of getting
feedback on the paper.

Please let me know if you think you might even be the tiniest bit
interested and I'll send you a copy!

The paper makes the case that patterns and pattern languages could be very
useful for helping to loosely coordinate a big Green New Deal meta-project
working across various boundaries that includes state and non-state actors,
small and large actors, formal and informal actors. I suspect that this
sort of focus is critical — and that the pattern language approach could
help supply this.

If you're not familiar with the topics your feedback might be even more
useful since I've included background information on the basic concepts.

Thanks so much for considering this!

— Doug

PS. Aldo de Moor and Justin Smith and I are working on a more ambitious
piece called (tentatively) "Can Pattern Languages Help Us Address Wicked
Problems? A conceptual framework based on patterns and pattern languages"
in which we lay out ideas for helping to make the use of patterns and
pattern languages generally more accessible, useful, and widely known. The
idea is that this current paper can help pave the way to approaching the
"wicked problems" paper.
