Cultura Viva consultation
Solstag, I guess you might be interested in this consultation on the Cultura Viva policy regulation. Though it's not open as the copyright law or the Marco Civil, you can probably submit a request to check the contributions. Wish you good luck with this proposal. --Oona (discuss • contribs) 21:14, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Re: OCSDNet Comments and Feedback
Project Title: Understanding and strengthening the development impact of community based knowledge production spaces by combining ethnographic and data analysis of their evolution as a collaboration network

Institution: Garoa Hacker Club

Primary Researcher: Alexandre Hannud Abdo

Regarding relevance and “fit”: Our advisors feel that this is a very promising proposal that would add value to existing OCS knowledge and practice. The authors have done an excellent job of framing open strategies as a means for facilitating change. The study could be useful as a source of self­awareness and introspection for the improvement of existing initiatives and the establishment of future ones, particularly as a way of bridging the problems with development issues and the ambiguous relationships with academic institutions and governments.

Regarding merit: Our team feels that the objectives of this project are vague and require further refinement. The process of identifying case studies is also unclear.

Regarding the application of knowledge: There is a solid explanation of how the knowledge generated from this study can be applied.

Regarding feasibility: The work plan seems viable with defined roles and responsibilities. However, our team feels that the budget is unclear in some areas. There is a sound plan for monitoring and evaluating progress towards project outcomes, though we feel that this could have been better thought out.
