Chloe Varelidi used to to be the Challenge Designer in Chief at P2PU. Now she works with our good friends at the Mozilla Foundation, but, like all ex-P2PUers, she just can’t stay away. Or maybe we keep pulling her back… Either way, she joined us for a week in Berlin, and organised a great Hack…
There have been a few crickets since the last School of Open blog post, but for good reason as Molly, Piet, and I have been busy planning and putting on two School of Open intensive workshops this week — one virtual, and one grounded entirely in physical reality. I’ll start by giving you a download…
You may have noticed that we’ve been a little bit quiet over the last couple of days. It’s not becuase we’re off enjoying all the delights of Berlin (we’ve been doing that too…) but because we’ve been delving into some hard thinking here at the P2PU Popup Office. After 3 weeks of “doing” – building, coding, writing,…

People have been working really hard! Feel free to work at home or take the day off. Philipp Worked with School of Open – did a use case on what a person who might come to School of Open might want Staff meeting Tech support Talked to Mozilla about badges Today: finally get to…
Today we finally imposed some order on the many levels of thinking we’ve been doing since Monday, which meant yet more time with the pink and green post-it notes. While our goal for much of this work was to create a lovely skills map like the School of Data has, we realized that isn’t the…
