Hello berkman center
I started at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society this past Friday, bringing my jobcount to roughly four.
At Berkman I will be working for Yochai Benkler. Slightly under Aaron Shaw and Tim Hwang. And with Roxy Roxie, Yael, Ayelot, Dharmishta and Anna. We are going to be studying the mechanisms of Peer-production. This is foundational research for web-collaboration. No one has well studied reasons why a given group would succeed or fail. I feel that I am pretty far behind when it comes to academic experience or credentials, but bring a lot of experience in peer-production groups, organization and structure.
The structure of the research I will reveal after our next meeting, Thursday (if I survive until then).
