[Doug Schuler]

alarmed by Google,  Facebook, NSA, etc. etc. etc.


For what it’s worth, here is a list of pattern categories that I believe would make a good start towards characterizing a strong civil society movement around information and communication in which community informatics played an important role.

Comments are welcome....

   ourselves, our students, general public, venues, needs and approaches

Collaborative Venues and Values
   visioning, building, deliberating, experimenting

   roles, infrastructure, branding, mission(s), outreach, other groups
