Once a year, about 300 people from over 50 countries come together to celebrate and strategise around a free Internet for all.
Leaders of the Creative Commons, free software, open education and access to knowledge communities talk about their vision for the future and discuss strategies for building a free global culture that is rich - both in terms of economic viability and geographic diversity.
The iCommons Summit is supported by cutting edge Internet companies around the world whose success is based on a free Internet - companies who recognise the potential of commons-based peer production for growing their networks and their businesses, and doing it in a way that benefits all of humanity.
This year, we’re asking companies and foundations to support the Summit and put their name alongside a global movement of individuals that are affecting technology policy and practice in their countries and driving forward an environment in which innovation is set to flourish.
Make sure you subscribe to the mailing list to stay in touch at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/icommons. />
The Summit will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia on the banks of the Adriatic Sea.
The bulk of the Summit events will take place in two of Dubrovnik’s most important historical buildings. The first is a fortress called Revelin which was built in the 16th century to protect the eastern entrance to the city and the port.
Just a few minutes walk from the fort is the second venue for the Summit: the city’s quarantine, called Lazareti.
Now a vibrant centre for local culture and art, the quarantine was originally built in 1377 as a stopover for sailors disembarking in the city. Nowadays the Lazareti Art Workshop supports and hosts cultural events, and will offer us workshop space during the daytime and a concerting and chill-out venue in the evening.
