Today’s reading list comes courtesy of Iain Aitchison:
Charles Leadbeater and Paul Miller’s The Pro-Am Revolution
Douglas Rushkoff’s Open Source Democracy
Both available as PDF downloads, these two Demos think-tank policy recommendations make interesting reading if you don’t mind the uneasy feeling that they haven’t researched every recommendation as much as they should have.
I’d also like to recommend Matt Webb’s presentation on Embedded Development, really interesting in relation to the conversations I was having with Kris Cohen about where user-centred design research sits when the audience becomes the designer.

What did you think of the Pro-am paper? Was it useful to you? You can see a little bit of what I thought about it over at photosleavehome.
