On a more granular level, many different projects can be found in each of the above Initiatives. For example the development of new courses (see e.g. the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Master-Curriculum common master-curriculum]), the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=16358&group_guid=556 enhancement] of the FTA Community Platform, several FTG project proposals are discussed in there (you can present yourself [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=18046&group_guid=8500 here]), etc.

= Operations =
The FKI has established a [[FKI:Strategy#Modus_operandi|modus operandi]] that tries to match individual needs with the collective ones and puts this work programme into practice.

* Write the FKI OCL (Operational Continuity Log) and reconfirm routine (2012-06-01 - 2012-06-30)
* Routine updates (1 hour per week x 4 people - estimate)
* Write [[FKI:Induction Manual]] (2012-06-01 - 2012-06-30)

= Business Development =
In the [[FKI:Strategy/Revenue models|Revenue models]] page we discussed briefly the main revenue models that fit our strategy. Now it is time to put them into practice. More concretely we work on the following core activities.

== Training & Education ==

=== Current FTA Master Level Courses (MLC) ===

Current courses are run [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Bottom-up_Courses Bottom-up], which means that potential learners express their interest to the community which courses they would be  willing to take and when.

ACTION1: communication campaign for the run starting in September 2012. In particular we need to get the GNU/Linux Advanced course take off.
: ACTION 1.1: contact current learners of GNU/Linux basic to ask about their interest on the Advanced course

ACTION2: decide how to go about with scholarship(s) (currently: 1)

ACTION3: decide on date go/nogo

=== Enhanced Peer Learning courses (EPL) ===

ACTION1: develop a sustainable model for several realistic scenarios, starting small with the idea of scaling up if it works
: UPDATE: WIP, see the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Enhanced_Peer_Learning_Model EPL Model page] for details and discussion.

ACTION2: define and run a public survey
: UPDATE: polish the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Survey_for_Enhanced_Peer_Learning_model existing draft survey] and publish it around 9 July

ACTION3: define courses, work on educational materials and assistants

ACTION4: make & realise communication plan to attract learners

ACTION5: launch

Place to discuss: [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/pg/groups/16845/enhanced-peer-learning-working-group/ EPL group] (login required).

=== Customised Training Courses (CTC) ===
Customised training is aimed to all kinds of organisations interested in upgrading the knowledge of their staff in the area of Free Knowledge and  Free Technologies. These organisations may be considering a partial or total migration to Free/Libre and Open Source Software and Open Standards, adopting an Open Development production model, may be interested in Communities, Free Culture, Peer Production, peer and distance learning, the Commons... See [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Private_Training_Courses CTC].
ACTION1: Write small proposal
ACTION2: Present proposal to potentially interested contacts

== Free Technology Guild ==
Currently under construction is the Free Technology Guild, that promises participants to find each other more easily through the FTA community platform and work and learn on a shared job. Participants can propose projects and realise them with others, both for money and for fun. People interested in building up the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/wiki/index.php/Free_Technology_Guild FTG] should join the [http://campus.ftacademy.org/community/pg/groups/8500/free-technology-guild-working-group/ working group] (login required).

==Donations==
The Institute needs contributions to keep the core infrastructure and organisation running. We're a low overhead, lightweight organisation and most activities are self organised. However, some monetary contributions are still needed. You can either make a one-off donation of any amount you'd like, or become a ongoing supporter. We are starting a True Fan programme (see [http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/03/1000_true_fans.php Kevin Kelly]): anyone willing to donate 10 Euro a month becomes a True Fan, helping to guarantee the continuity of the Institute. If you commit to do this during at least one year, we can get you a special FKI present. Of course you can stop at any time you want. We also accept BitCoins, just drop us an [http://freeknowledge.eu/contact email] and we'll provide you with an address.

= Communication =
ACTION1: [[FKI_Site|restructure]] website content and redesign website

ACTION2: send out [http://freeknowledge.eu/Request-for-Comments-Redesigning-FKI-Strategy announce] (and [http://freeknowledge.eu/blog/wouter/FKI-invites-to-comment-on-its-Strategy-for-2012-onwards blog]) on FKI's internal doings

ACTION3: publish [[FKI:Strategy/Communication_Strategy|strategy]] (TBD) and invite people to contribute

= Partner Development =
ACTION 1: invite partners & likeminded organisations to endorse the Strategy and list them on a partners page.
