April 12: Patterns and Pattern Languages Supporting Cross-boundary Collaboration

[David Ing]

For the Systems Thinking Ontario session on April 10, we will have a conversation with Douglas Schuler, Professor Emeritus, Evergreen State College.

The book Liberating Voices: A Pattern Language for Communication Revolution includes 136 patterns by 75 authors, edited online by Doug, and published by MIT Press in 2008

This pattern language addresses collaboration and civic intelligence, a critical under-developed resource necessary for democratic societies and public problem solving.

Doug is currently chair of ACM SIGCAS and president of the Public Sphere Project as a non-profit organization in the State of Washington. He is former Chair of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR), and a founding member of the Seattle Community Network (SCN).
