The Free Knowledge Institute has been invited to attend the International Commons Conference in Berlin, November 1/2 2010. The ICC, entitled CONSTRUCTING A COMMONS-BASED POLICY PLATFORM, will bring together about 150 leading figures in commons-based studies and activism for a multidisciplinary, internationally focused conference. The event will explore the range of commons-based policy and social approaches that now exist and forge a new network of commoners who will collaborate on commons-based initiatives in the future. The gathering will also serve to incubate entirely new ideas and strategies that the participants will bring to the conference, including new communications strategies, prototype commons, funding models and research needs. And, last but not least: it is supposed to draw attention of the classical media and the blogosphere to the issue.
