1 week to go until iSummit registration closes
Well, believe it or not but the iSummit is only 14 days away, which means that the staff in South Africa and Japan need to start tallying numbers and assigning hotel rooms to all those who intend on coming to the iSummit in Sapporo.

| Free software has defined what liberties garantee freedom, what about us?, by Fred Benenson |
 |
The Philosophy of the Commons panel was, in my humble opinion, the most exciting discussion at this years summit. Very stimulating, it got us thinking about what we mean by freedom, how we produce culture, and what the commons movement is really trying to archive.
Benjamin talked about his free culture works definition and we also listened to views from Tom, David and John who enlightened us and got us to reflect on what is the frontier of freedom, and what rights should we really guarantee so that our collective commons becomes a true free culture space.
Everyone got to participate, and the importance of the topic was reflected on questions and remarks by Lessig, Benkler, Doctorow, Stark and many other important figures from this movement to show just how precious this topic is.
But enough hearing about it from me, check out the special node created just so this discussion can go on and share your views on the topic with us!
