Forum Building Digital Commons and Collaborative Communities

29th - 30th  October 2011, Barcelona, Catalonia & Online
http://www.digital-commons.net

Building Digital Commons and Collaborative Communities is a new
initiative aiming to bring together individuals, collective and
organizations from different Free and Open Collaborative Communities,
Digital Commons Initiatives and Researchers in the area to identify
ways to support and learn from each other and collaborate in order to
promote together digital commons.

Why?

The new technologies offered a big opportunity to create, innovate and
collaborate to share and build information and knowledge resources.
However, we are living challenging times, with   an ongoing growth of
the enclosure of the commons.

i) We want to promote  the “makers” and “ doers” approach: To increase
the visibility of the initiatives that are based on building digital
commons.
ii) Systematize experiences & learn from each other (at the legal,
infrastructural, sustainable, participation and governance levels).
ii) Map the digital public spaces and promote common actions
iv) Create public procommons references: To underline the distinction
between the governance of digital commons and other forms of
corporate-providers not based on free and open infrastructure.
v) Build bridges between action and research on commons as a form of
governance, production and horizon for social transformation.

What?

We will address collaboratively and critically a series of working lines:

1. Participation and engagement in communities
2. Sustainability formulas and dialogue between social digital economy
and cooperativism
3. Mapping a variety of digital commons initiatives and to define a
common strategy

A "How to manual on digital commons: participation engagement,
sustainability formulas and over all digital commons networking" and a
"Digital commons alliance/network" will be the resulting outcomes of
the event.
