Abstract

This paper clarified how wildfire activities tie together (as with the Open Source movement), and also focused on object-centered sociality and forms of exchange. In doing so, I attempted to reformulate the concept of learning. A "wildfire activity" is a collection of distributed and local activities that occur in various places at the same time and tie together, exactly as happens with a real wildfire. A typical example of wildfire activity is peer production that extends beyond institutionalized organizations, e.g., the editing of Wikipedia and the development of Linux. However, wildfire activity is not limited to activities on the Internet, and also occurs in the activities of the Red Cross, skate-boarding, and the revitalization of local communities.
