Reflection

"For the gains in autonomy, democracy, justice, and a critical culture to materialize, the practices of nonmarket information production, individually free creation, and cooperative peer production must become more than fringe practices. They must become part of life for substantial portions of the networked population." - Yochai Benkler, The Wealth of Networks.

About Me

I live on Waiheke Island, New Zealand/Aotearoa and I am a Sysop & Beauracrat for Wikieducator as well as currently on the Community Council.

I work for the New Zealand Tourism Research Institute, (AUT).

Before there was Free Content :-)... I worked on this: TILT, a resource for teaching Information Literacy that has been freely distributed under David Wileys original Open Publication License, since 2000 and is now the Information Literacy tutorial at hundreds of institutions worldwide.

I provide support and hosting for a variety of Open Source collaborative platforms via my company, Greymatter.
