iCommons mailing lists
Apart from the general discussion and magazine mailing lists, iCommons has a variety of lists that focus on conversations around different Commons-related topics. Take a look at the lists below, and feel free to sign-up and join in on the discussions.
iCommons iCurriculum (iCiC)
This list is dedicated to knowledge-sharing among open education practitioners and the development of new global initiatives to spread open educational tools, policies and practice to countries around the world. In the run-up to the iSummit ‘08 this list will be used to prepare for the Open Education lab.

Global Commons
This mailing list is used to coordinate the Local Context Global Commons project, which is funded by the Ford Foundation to develop leadership by countries in the South to better understand and report on relevant issues around intellectual property in the developing country context. Please join this list if you are willing to participate in writing articles or blog posts about intellectual property issues from your local perspective, if you are willing to be involved in providing story ideas or research material, or even if you are interested in distributing the content created through this project.

iCommons Artists in Residence (iCAIR)
This list was established for the Artists in Residence programme at the iSummit ‘07 in Dubrovnik. It is used for announcements on Free Culture art projects or shows, and discussions between artists who are passionate about devoting their work to the Commons.

SA Free Culture
A list that is focused on spreading the word about Free Culture in South Africa, where iCommons is based. If you are South African and are keen to be involved in local initiatives that educate, activate and engage the South African public through projects such as the iHeritage and Wikipedia Academy events, please sign up. If you are internationally-based you are most welcome to join in and share your ideas and experiences with us, or you can learn more about how these events are structured and organised so that you can host them in your country too.
