Description

A participatory discussion in which to try out a new view of the world. Many Drupal practitioners will be familiar with the notions of free and open cultural and online commons embodied by efforts such as iCommons and Creative Commons. Have you considered the commons in other organizing contexts? More and more contemporary society is immersed in a market paradigm that is out of balance with collective and equitable management of natural and societal resources. This will be a discussion of an alternative, encompassing and almost forgotten natural order.
