I have written recently about my campaign for the Wikimedia Board. I updated my platform, and am posting a few essays about what it means to me to be a Wikimedian – the sense of openness and collaboration towards a shared public goal that active contributors often hope to inspire in others.
I am looking for other good descriptions of what it means to identify with similar global collaborative projects; not only in the world of free software and knowledge but also education, health, language, art, science, peace… and would appreciate links to any gems.
