Hi Gaurav,<div><br></div><div>I like your visualization of the social communication process for the OLPC project. The icons are simple and fun to associate with a concept, the cycles nicely emphasize the iteration needed in all domains, and the overlap with intersections demonstrate the coordination that is needed.</div> <div><br></div><div>I can imagine versions where nodes would be expanded in subsets to show more detail of a process. For example, we could use such a map to explain and guide newcomers to the software development cycle and community tools.</div> <div><br></div><div>Could you share the icons and tools you used to allow others to work on prototypes and drafts for their processes?</div><div><br></div><div>We could start using more of these and similar icons for tagging concepts in our wikis and Sweet software, and we could use the maps as a navigational aids.</div> <div><br></div><div>Thank you for your contributions!</div><div><br></div><div> --Fred</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 2:10 PM, Gaurav Bhushan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gaurav_b@nid.edu">gaurav_b@nid.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi everyone,<br><br>While I was a student of information design at National Institute of Design, India, I worked on brainstorming and visualizing an ecosystem to support the OLPC project in India. <br> <br>I am attaching a poster representing the same.
