With its small but inspired and dynamic team with a shared vision for the future, the FKI aims to play a key role in bringing about the free knowledge society. This project requires an institute which is sustainable, efficient, and effective in its own right, in keeping with its aim of inspiring and enabling growth of free knowledge communities in multiple domains.<br />
<br />
The figure above maps the intermediate objectives we have set if we are to play this key role.<br />
<br />
Central to our strategy is establishing sustainable communities of participants around the FKI: a stable network of partners and peers with whom we can work and a certain number of learners who can study the different aspects of free knowledge while becoming active participants (learning by doing). If this is to work, the FKI needs to be in touch with learners, sensitive to trends and able to anticipate student needs. <br />
<br />
The FKI has a ''modus operandi'' which supports and nurtures the relationships needed to sustain the FKI itself and the surrounding communities of learners, researchers and domain practitioners.<br />
<br />
This, of course, influences our internal and operational effectiveness. Well managed internal relationships extended to partners and peers lead to positive relationships with the communities associated with the Institute.<br />
<br />
Since we see strong relationships as the key to success, our communication strategy keeps us up to date with all the information sharing and interactions required to keep these relationships vibrant and active. The FKI continually explores innovative models for sustainability - both monetary and non-monetary.<br />
<br />
The FKI is basically sustainable, -beyond economic models-, because of its social impact, and the support it receives from communities also striving to create a more just world.<br />

<br />
=Introduction=<br />
<br />
''Enabling a culture of free knowledge'', we seek to contribute to global sustainability, the greatest challenge of our time. The FKI is therefore branching out into new domains selected because of their potential for solving sustainability challenges. With ''freedom'' as their key value they are founded on core knowledge and free technology.<br />
<br />
Sustainability is broadly defined as an integration of social, economic and environmental factors to secure the long term future.<br />
<br />
Starting with a small team, an Advisory Board of three, plus colleagues, advisors and volunteers, the FKI plans to expand organically as members of the growing community promote their particular areas of interest. The FKI's role is to support the emergent communities of interest and practice, while refining its own methodologies of community development and peer production of libre knowledge resources.<br />
<br />
FKIs original domains of interest include free software, free/open standards, free/open education and free culture. New areas now being explored include free knowledge in science, free/open hardware design, renewable energy and the commons economy.<br />
<br />
The following list provides access to each of the domains:<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Education|Education]]''' : free educational materials, tools and models<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Software|Software]]''' : free/libre software<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Standards|Standards]]''' : open standards, free file specifications and formats<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Hardware|Hardware]]''' : free hardware, open design, free and open manufacturing<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Energy|Energy]]''' : distributed, renewable energy sources <br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Science|Science]]''' : open access, open scientific data, peer review<br />
<br />
<br />
: '''[[FKI:Strategy/Domains/Culture|Culture]]''' : free culture, access to knowledge<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
In brief, we offer a shared vision and platform for education, collaboration and advocacy in free knowledge and technology. The '''online platform''' is entirely based on free software and knowledge and is organised bottom-up. There are also learning, economic and activist opportunities. All our activities are imbued with the following goals and principles:<br />
<br />
* '''freedom''': any individual or group has the same rights to FKI knowledge, whether it is software, text books, articles or other digital artefacts. While collaboration within the community has its advantages, everyone has the freedom to create a fork and continue along the way he or she sees fit (no lock-up);<br />
* consistency in '''values''': walk the talk, practice what you preach. Use free software and free knowledge in every aspect, share them with peers;<br />
* flexible, self-directed collaborative '''learning''';<br />
* '''accreditation''' via partners, and '''recognition''' by peers; <br />
* '''low-cost''' services;<br />
* agile on-demand '''course development''';<br />
* autonomous development teams working together through the '''Free Technology Guild''';<br />
* a common platform to participate in and run '''campaigns''' along these lines. <br />

<hr />
<div>=Introduction=<br />
The FKI '''Induction Manual''' has as objective to provide new collaborators with an introduction to the way we work together within the FKI, to present its policies and procedures.<br />
<br />
=Foundational documents=<br />
To understand the FKI and its ways of working, we recommend to read the [[FKI:Strategy]] documents, understand the [[FKI:Strategy/Values|shared values]], context, mission and objectives.<br />
<br />
=Modus Operandi=<br />
The FKI consists of a core team supported by a distributed network of partners and contributors working on various activities. In order to accommodate diverse groups collaborating on tasks of varying complexity and urgency, the following principles have been established:<br />
<br />
'''Shared Purpose'''<br />
<br />
We begin with a clear vision for the FKI and a shared understanding of its goals. The Map of Intermediate Objectives (IO Map) serves to detect needs to guide in designing, selecting and prioritising activities.<br />
<br />
'''Flexibility'''<br />
<br />
Our partners are diverse in terms of culture, positions held, experience, interests, language, geographical location, time zones, and have different levels of commitment or participation: activities vary from informal volunteer support to formalised project work. Hence, almost all our interactions are conducted with a combination of synchronous (usually IRC) and asynchronous (e.g. via wikis and forums) communication to maximise benefits.<br />
<br />
'''Collaboration'''<br />
<br />
When needed, and especially when there is a sense of urgency, we facilitate focused goal-directed face-to-face, teleconference and/or IRC interactions using free software tools to enable and record the interactions on-the-fly. Examples include free software for VoIP such as Ekiga, IRC tools, MediaWiki, LibreOffice with change tracking, etc. In order to assist the community and teams, services like mailing lists and web-based platforms, most noticeably the FTA [http://campus.ftacademy.org/ Campus environment] and the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/ community platform] are run on our servers. <br />
<br />
Besides to facilitating participation and transparency, such services streamline recording of proceedings and enable involvement by others who are not able to be physically present at the time. The [[FKI:Induction Manual|Induction Manual]] summarises various available tools.<br />
<br />
'''Shared values'''<br />
<br />
Our [[FKI:Strategy/Values|values]] - also expressed in our [[FKI:Strategy/Founding_Principles|Founding Principles]] - drive all our activities, and while we respect everyone's freedom of expression, our [[FKI:Community/Code of Conduct|Code of Conduct]] suggests ways of being and behaving to maximise productive interaction.<br />
<br />
'''Communication'''<br />
<br />
As indicated in the IO Map above, communication is central to this strategy and merits a separate document. See [[FKI:Strategy/Communication Strategy|Communication Strategy]].<br />
<br />
=Team=<br />
Different participants take different roles. Our collaboration within this common endeavour seeks to accommodate each one's passions and preferences and over the years the group members have each taken a certain role and set or responsibilities that fit them best. It might therefore be helpful to see how work has been divided up till now, so you can see how and who you can help best in each area. See [[FKI:People]].<br />
<br />
Participation takes place mainly through working groups. Most working groups make use of the FTA Community Platform and are listed [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/pg/groups/world/?filter=pop here]. You are welcome to join those groups of your interest and contribute in whatever way you think most appropriate, following the below defined Code of Conduct.<br />
<br />
=Tools and Spaces=<br />
We use many different online communication tools that facilitate our collaboration as distributed team. For our daily work we use IRC chats, mailing lists, wikis and the FTA Community Platform. On the platform we have various working groups and can engage with other community members through its social network features.<br />
<br />
* Operating system: any Free Software based OS, like GNU/Linux. Please use any distribution you feel most comfortable with.<br />
* Office: ODF formatted documents - recommended tools: LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org<br />
** We have templates for letters and presentation slides with the FKI's visual identity<br />
* Online Chat: IRC - we use this server: '''irc.freenode.net''' and these channels: <br />
** General public channel: ''#freeknowledge'' <br />
** FTA coordination channel: ''#fki-fta''<br />
** FKI core coordination team channel: ''#fki-core'' <br />
* Mailing lists: apart from the many lists on free knowledge in general or on specific forms, we recommend you subscribe to some or all of the following lists:<br />
** FKI General Discussion list (low traffic): http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion<br />
** FKI Announce list (low traffic): http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/mailman/listinfo/fki-announce<br />
** FTA General Discussion list: http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/mailman/listinfo/fta-discussion<br />
** FTA Announce list: http://mail.freeknowledge.eu/mailman/listinfo/fta-announce<br />
** FKI Core Team list: invitation only<br />
* Phone: SIP protocol - recommended tools: Ekiga softphone, Linksys IP Phone. See [[FKI Phone]] and for external participants refer to [http://freeknowledge.eu/wiki/index.php/FKI_Phone FKI Phone]: request an SIP account at the FKI SIP server.<br />
* Email: IMAP & SMTP - recommended tools: Thunderbird, ... Or FKI webmail: mail.freeknowledge.eu<br />
* Collaborative texts: Wiki - We have different Wikis:<br />
** FKI Public wiki: http://freeknowledge.eu/wiki<br />
** FTA Campus wiki: http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki<br />
** FKI Board wiki: http://freeknowledge.eu/fki-wiki<br />
* Collaborative Annotation of PDF documents: http://campus.ftacademy.org/annotation-tool<br />
* Etherpad: we use Etherpad hosted by other groups<br />
* We have various project management tools, like RedMine, Horde etc<br />
* Social Network / Community Platform: http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/<br />
* Microblogging: we prefer Status.net and its most used implementation, Identi.ca, before Twitter, as Status.net is Free Software and a Free Network Service. It is recommended to link your Twitter account (if you have one) to your identi.ca account, and post at identi.ca in such way that it is automatically republished by Twitter. This way you work on a Free Network Service but also reach out to those who are (still) on the proprietary platform. You could use hastag '''#freeknowledge''' and join these identi.ca groups:<br />
* General FKI group: hashtag: '''!FK''': http://identi.ca/group/freeknowledge<br />
* General FTA group: hashtag: '''!FTA''': http://identi.ca/group/fta<br />
<br />
Currently we are also working on the Communication Strategy, its communication tools section will be coming up.<br />
<br />
=Policies and procedures=<br />
The FKI intents to keep bureaucracy out of our daily work, and tries to limit paperwork to the minimum required. Our passion lies in other areas that doing admin work. In order to keep our collaboration as agile, freedom-minded and passionate as we've had so far, our policies and procedures are mostly informal and dynamic. That said, there are guiding principles that help us achieve our mission as effective as we can.<br />
<br />
==Leadership and responsibility==<br />
We encourage leadership and people willing to take responsibility for relevant work. While the core responsibilities are informally divided by the founding and early members of the FKI, people interested in these areas can propose actions and make contributions and based on that earn a reputation and trust within the group. Accordingly, certain responsibilities can be transferred to those people depending on interests, availability and skills. <br />
<br />
==Decision-making processes==<br />
Decisions are made bottom-up: everyone is free to contribute and decides for her or himself. When contributions affect the group, consensus is sought within the group. We follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_consensus rough consensus] model as practised by the IETF.<br />
<br />
When financial or legal decisions need to be made, these are generally agreed in the Core team and depending on the size or impact, by the FKI Board. The FKI Board members are personally liable for management decisions.<br />
<br />
==Authorship==<br />
We respect the authors of a work highly, and in particular if the authors have licensed their work under a free license. In case FKI participants contribute their share to a collective work of authorship, we can assign the authorship to the FKI, to its individual authors or both. That generally depends on the type of work, e.g. a research paper is usually attributed to the individual authors, while a wiki page is attributed to the foundation (while each user's contribution can be traced back transparently). In the case of commissioned works, the authorship is by default attributed to the Foundation, unless otherwise agreed.<br />
<br />
=Code of Conduct=<br />
The [[FKI:Community/Code of Conduct|Code of Conduct]] presents the set of norms and guidelines that we try to follow within the Free Knowledge Institute. <br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
<br />
We pride ourselves on building a productive, happy and agile community that can welcome new ideas in the exciting area of free knowledge and all its domains, and foster collaboration among groups with overlapping needs, interests and goals in line with the core values of the project.<br />
<br />
=Further Reading=<br />
Together we are building a list of recommended bibliography that helps us in our work. See http://freeknowledge.eu/wiki/index.php/Bibliography (needs to be rolled back after spam clean up!)<br />
Also of interest are some of our collaborative writings:<br />
* Article and book chapter: "[http://freeknowledge.eu/article-the-knowledge-society-from-a-freedom-centred-perspective The Knowledge Society, from a freedom centred perspective]", 2010<br />

<br />
With its small but inspired and dynamic team with a shared vision for the future, the FKI aims to play a key role in bringing about the free knowledge society. This project requires an institute which is sustainable, efficient, and effective in its own right, in keeping with its aim of inspiring and enabling growth of free knowledge communities in multiple domains.<br />
<br />
The figure above maps the intermediate objectives we have set if we are to play this key role.<br />
<br />
Central to our strategy is establishing sustainable communities of participants around the FKI: a stable network of partners and peers with whom we can work and a certain number of learners who can study the different aspects of free knowledge while becoming active participants (learning by doing). If this is to work, the FKI needs to be in touch with learners, sensitive to trends and able to anticipate student needs. <br />
<br />
The FKI has a ''modus operandi'' which supports and nurtures the relationships needed to sustain the FKI itself and the surrounding communities of learners, researchers and domain practitioners.<br />
<br />
This, of course, influences our internal and operational effectiveness. Well managed internal relationships extended to partners and peers lead to positive relationships with the communities associated with the Institute.<br />
<br />
Since we see strong relationships as the key to success, our communication strategy keeps us up to date with all the information sharing and interactions required to keep these relationships vibrant and active. The FKI continually explores innovative models for sustainability - both monetary and non-monetary.<br />
<br />
The FKI is basically sustainable, -beyond economic models-, because of its social impact, and the support it receives from communities also striving to create a more just world.<br />

The Free Knowledge Institute promotes free knowledge in all its forms. Our aim is to provide equal access to the tools for free production and sharing of knowledge. We work towards this aim together with local and global networks of autonomous actors.<br />
<br />
Since its creation in 2007 the FKI has coordinated several international projects in the areas of Free Software, Open Standards, Open Educational Resources and Access to Knowledge. Through these activities the FKI core team has gained experience, acquired specialised skills and has built a considerable international network of partners and peers from research and educational institutions, industry and third sector organisations. These assets allow us to assist organisations which want to explore alternative business models or to tackle specific issues in the multiple fields where knowledge plays an important part.<br />
<br />
The primary focus of the first five years (free software, open standards and establishing an education platform) enabled the FKI community to grow and to broaden its horizons to embrace new domains. These are proposed and driven by community members working in the relevant fields (see [[FKI:Strategy/Domains|Domains]]). One of FKI's priorities in these domains is to educate existing and emerging communities about the freedom issues related with the free knowledge society and to advise and participate on a practical level.<br />
