iCommons Summit Rio de Janeiro, 23-25 June, 2006

“Towards a global digital commons”

(From iCommons.org ). The past few years has seen the burgeoning of a number of initiatives aimed at opening the fields of creativity, science and knowledge in communities around the world. Practitioners from these movements currently identify themselves as falling within a particular community – ‘free and open source software’, ‘open access’, ‘open content’ and ‘open science’, amongst others – but they share key processes and values whose common elements are yet to be fully realized.

Andrew Garton from the Melbourne organsation, OpenChannel will be going to this summit.
