About local nodes
-
Oigo aims to be a community that encompasses communities. A distributed system of local nodes that manage the digital platform independently but in coordination with the rest. Legitimate agents, connected with interest groups, with an important social dimension and references in their field of action (cities, communities, etc.). A network of trusted nodes that serves to locate the digital, providing proximity and specificity, multiplying the impact of collective financing in its territory.
-
A local node can be formed by any group or private entity in a specific locality or area (at the moment only in Ecuador) whose members share the interest and have the operational capacity to attract people, projects and sources of financing.
All this around the commons and free knowledge, to promote community social development, prioritizing the rural sector, through managing both the administration of the local OIGO platform, and the dissemination of projects.
In order to set in motion a local node, the interested agent must:
- Produce a small-scale study of the local context, in relation to project leaders and co-financiers.
- Have availability of the minimum funds in order to maintain human resources and the tasks related to the management of the node.
- Cover the corresponding part of the social investment fund to which all the nodes contribute in order to support the projects.
- Establish a phase in order to familiarise themselves with the platform and the operation of the system.

As the Oigo platform evolves, the themes and areas that different projects have in common can be grouped around small specialized virtual communities.
That is, experts and people passionate about a certain topic who act from any geographical location as prescribers, advising or disseminating projects in the financing phase related to a specific field such as community development in a certain area or place, technology and reduction of the digital divide, healthy production and consumption, community cultural heritage, art, education, reduction of domestic violence, etc.

If there isn't, there should be sometime! We invite you to design and propose it.
Soon we will have news about creating nodes and later on converting those nodes into channels. For now, we recommend you take a look at our 'Community' menu.
