Sharitories
A global project with a very practical scope: to create a Collaborative Territories Toolkit for local policy-makers around the world who wish to implement collaborative or sharing initiatives in their local areas and help them thrive. The kit will be mainly composed of easy to use knowledge tools such as canvases, booklets and methodologies that local policy-makers and communities can use to understand better the challenges and opportunities of the collaborative economy, design solution and adopt collaborative strategy-making. All the components will be open sourced according to CC-BY-SA creative commons license, to encourage adoption.

"Empowered by OuiShare" - Framework for OuiShare Projects
“Empowered by OuiShare” projects are independent projects with strong links with the OuiShare community. They are initiated and carried out by one or several Connectors 'that have been contributing to OuiShare for over 3 months after having been appointed. Such projects can be for instance: a social enterprise / co-operative providing services about the collaborative economy, a collaborative incubator, open source tools for contributive organizations, etc.

Whether a project is able to use the “Empowered By” status and under which conditions it can do so (details about governance, ownership, money flows and ending conditions of the agreement -- time span, alignment with values, etc) is decided on a case by case basis, and approved by all Connectors on a consensus / no strong opposition basis.

The detailed conditions and benefits of using this status are currently being validated and will be published shortly.

As of today, projects "Empowered By OuiShare" include:
 * Upcoming: a professional services arm / shared brand, available for community members to use
 * The | Collaborative Cities webdocumentary by Maxime Leroy
