P2P Public Intellectuals

From P2P Foundation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Context

A list of people oriented towards thinking about a sharing, commons, p2p oriented society.

We started compiling this list until 2012, but at the prompt of Simon Grant, we are now trying to make it useful through a topical organization, so that you can find experts, researchers etc .. in specific domains of action.

This list is male-dominated, while this list is larger and exclusively female, see 100 Women Who Are Co-Creating the P2P Society; we hope to integrate them if time.

To do list:

  • categorize all the names by topic, topics in alphabetical order, names within topic in alphabetical order
  • consider this as an introdoctury selection to our much larger biographical directory section, Category:Bios , which contains nearly 1,200 biographies.
