Abstract

Open Source Governance —a developing manner of governing— has its origins in the possibilities of Web 2.0, because it is of a collaborative nature. Undoubtedly, the Wikipedia experience has brought confidence to this type of ideas: mass collaboration can indeed produce quality services and products.

In this presentation we shall briefly analyze the characteristics of a Practical Direct Democracy, pointing out the relation between communication technology and political ideas; and the Metagovernment project, which is inspired by wikis.
