Create "I`m an owner of the OER World Map" badge

[trugwaldsaenger]

User Story As a supporter of the OER World Map project I want to express my support to the project by displaying an "I own the OER World Map" badge on social networks and other webpages.

Background

• The concept of badges (http://openbadges.org/) has been discussed frequently at OER conferences
• Pawlowski and Pirkkalainen argue that emotional ownership is important for the adoption of OER`s. Therefore people must be involved in the development process quite early - in the best case before an OER has been developed (http://project.idea-space.eu/results/)
• the RFP agues that the world map should be owned by the community.

Acceptance Criteria

• Nice looking Badge, based on the OER World Map, designed according to the requirements of openbadges.org
• Challenge: User has to read the Post "How to cooperate with the OER World Map Project" as well as well as a short introduction to emotional ownership. When he has done so, he receives the badge.

Given the usage of the verb own (see e.g. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=own&defid=987316) I would definitely use another wording for such a button.

Yeah - that's kind of funny! Reminds me on the Mitsubishi Pajero (http://www.welt.de/motor/article13669067/Diese-Autonamen-wurden-zu-PR-Totalschaeden.html). What about "I`m an owner of the OER World Map"?

Other alternatives might be: "Je suis le OER World Map" or "OER World Map - it's mine!"

Given the connotation of "Je suis ..." due to quite recent events, I am strictly against this. Actually, I don't like any of this "being" or "owning" the OER world map. How about "I map the world of OER" or something like that?

In order to use the catchy strength of rhyming, how about something like "We are OER" or "All we are OER" or something similar?
