Copyright is retained by the author(s)\n\nPeer to Peer - The Commons Manifesto is a collaborative work by Michel Bauwens (founder of the P2P Foundation), Vasilis Kostakis (founder of the P2P Lab and core member of the P2P Foundation), and Alex Pazaitis (core member of the P2P Lab).\n\nIt was published  in English in March 2019. All three authors are affiliated with the P2P Foundation, making this book a cornerstone publication of the P2P Foundation.\n\nAccording to statistics from westminster press, the book has been downloaded 8,167 times, read 788 times, and cited 119 times. It has also been included in the University of Westminster Critical Digital and Social Media Studies reading list.\n\nMultiple evidences indicate that the book still does not have a Chinese version.\n\nIn April 2019, the 706 Translation Team, led by Deng Chen and consisting of seven members, embarked on the task of translating the entire book, unfortunately halted after translated through Chapters 1 to part of Chapter 5 due to a lack of continued resource support and insufficient manpower. Started from October 2024, supported by Uncommons, the translation has been pushed forward and estimated to be finished in March 2025, with plans to publish physical copy and do promotional activities.\n\ntranslation text\nhttps://706community.notion.site/P2P-ba75f63483354685a1998adc6389d67b\n \nFilling the Gap in Collaborative Efforts within the Chinese-speaking Community\nOver time, the Chinese-speaking community's engagement with blockchain and the commons has grown significantly since 2019, alongside an increasing need for learning and understanding the commons.\n\nPeer to Peer: The Commons Manifesto offers not only a wealth of knowledge but also serves as a guide for fostering peer-to-peer collaboration among individuals, working groups, and communities within the Chinese-speaking world. To put it simply, it is a practical handbook for working towards Public Goods.\n\nExclusive Advantages of Collaborating with the Original Author\nUncommons has established a dedicated working group with the original author, Michel Bauwens, giving us a unique advantage in translating this book. When encountering challenges during the translation process, we can directly consult Michel for clarification. An online translation workshop as long as offline interview with Michel has been conducted.\n\nInterview with Michel Bauwens\nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1lqFLsDu-UOjiCzCKDtOLiXXkKsB4TiltkHjc4lICq0o/edit?usp=sharing\n\nTranslation workshop \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1EfZEmD_9gDRfTVnaTl2I-0_HqnnTGrMyMuPpT3sU7rw/edit?tab=t.0\n\nPlans after Translation\nDuring summer 2025, Michel Bauwens plans to visit China and have a tour in several cities to give speeches and organize workshops. This will be closely related to the publish of this book.\n\nMichel China Tour \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1CXjrb7pMiRfwblCqS-3_WHMhmuvmasQpEHtK7FJh_XY/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.sq7vb68xdtkk\n\nIn 2024, Michel is set to publish a new research book focusing on Asia, which also explores the possibility of seeking a Chinese translation. After completing the translation and publishing for Peer to Peer: The Commons Manifesto, we will have a solid foundation to advance the translation of his new work, thereby establishing a long-term collaboration with a world-class scholar. This will significantly enhance Uncommons' unique brand identity and positioning.\n\nProject timeline\nOct 2024, forming the working team, checked\n\nNov 2024, complete the first draft translation, checked\nRef: https://x.com/Uncommons/status/1861201583314186416\n\nDec 2024, review and editing, on going.\nRef: https://x.com/Uncommons/status/1864271158004093037\n\nMarch 2024, Translation done\nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10vHYTC4OIIlLCawWhmdkSYQUDJmCHZYO\n\nMarch 2024 Foreword wrote for the Chinese translation by Michel Bauwens\nhttps://4thgenerationcivilization.substack.com/p/looking-at-the-evolution-of-our-world\n\nOur team includes seven core contributors:\n7k project manager\nhttps://x.com/7k_0x0\nSwift Evo project initiator\nhttps://x.com/swiftevo1\nDeng Chen translation team manager\nfrom 706 Labs\nhttps://x.com/Labs706\nShiyu layout design\nhttps://x.com/shiyu1804\nLurenbian editor\nhttps://x.com/lurenbian\n\nMulti sign wallet for funding the translation:\nhttps://app.safe.global/home?safe=oeth:0xA1094BE4563973caadCD893710600f352f7F735c\n\n\nFundings\nFrom Uncommons\nhttps://snapshot.box/#/s:0xuncommons.eth/proposal/0x734ffee2ab401d3458cc81642b28a6730c0e15ca7dafc1b469b019a95970d659\n\nFrom ENS public goods grants \nhttps://builder.ensgrants.xyz/grants/39\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}}
