Acknowledgements
We take this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to many people who have helped us with their support, assistance or inspiring example. In particular, we would like to thank Ivan Begtin, Director at NGO Infoculture, for his support, encouragement and making a huge contribution to the development of the environment, in which our work takes place. We would also like to thank Lucy Chambers, Project Coordinator at OKF, whose Data MOOC at School of Data last spring was a great source of inspiration for us. Another person whose research, as well as example and encouragement have been precious for us is Vanessa Gennarelli, Learning Lead at P2P University. One of our most fruitful experiments owes a lot to the cooperation and initiative on the part of Alexey Sidorenko, the head of the project Teplitsa of Social Technologies, and his crew.
