Dear friends,

iCommons is happy to announce the Call for submissions for this year's iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. Please read the instructions, FAQs and download the programme structure by going to: http://www.icommons.org/isummit08/call-for-submissions/

I think its a great improvement on last year's wiki-based call - and James Cairns and a bunch of volunteers from the January workshop have worked really hard in making this year's process much smoother, more transparent and efficient. Thank you to them and those who have started working on communal programme initiatives such as the Commons Research participants and others. 

The call is open until the end of March to submit your ideas for presentation slots but we're also encouraging people to join one or more of the related iSummit 'Lab' (track) lists below to discuss community-wide activities and outcomes. 

Open Education: A track dedicated to knowledge-sharing among open education practitioners and the development of new global initiatives to spread open educational tools, policies and practice to countries around the world.
To connect with this lab's participants, join the mailing list at: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/icic

Creative Commons Japan: A Japanese-language track coordinated by the ccJapan team to debate and discuss the commons in relation to Japan, and to plan how to spread ideas about Free Culture and the Commons.

(Mailing list coming soon!)

Open Business: A track designed to both introduce newcomers to the basic concepts of open business tools and practices such as the newly-launched CC+ protocol as well as to collaborate on new global initiatives that will further the goals of the open business community.

To connect with this lab's participants, join the mailing list at: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/isummitbusiness

Commons research: A track dedicated to the 'First International Research Workshop on Free Culture'. This lab will gather academics and researchers who are interested in furthering scholarship in the Commons and Free Culture, providing a space for them to share the results of their work and develop ideas for further collaboration.

To connect with this lab's participants, join the mailing list at: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-research

Local context global commons: A track that will showcase regional and local approaches to the concept of Free Culture around the world - and will highlight initiatives such as Wikipedia and Global Voices that are developing innovative approaches to the localisation of global projects.

To connect with this lab's participants, join the mailing list at: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/isummitglobalcommons

DIY video: A track that will showcase (through screenings), discuss and analyse (through screening discussions) the intersection between the Commons and do-it-yourself video production around the world.

To connect with this lab's participants, join the mailing list at: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/isummitvideo

Best,
Heather.
