Managed to miss this. So I see you will be joining the Warsaw event on Commons in Central and Eastern Europe? http://www.facebook.com/events/157101287782710/?ref=25
From what I followed on the event page, it seems to me one of the problem we have in this part of the world is with naming the commons related activities as belonging to the paradigm… With a history like ours, thinking also of cooperatives, these are mined fields that take us back to property issues. Plus, reclaiming the commons sounds western, we might as well say: build the commons, from scratch. I’d be curious what interesting initiatives are working towards that, building on Alek’s post and the library example, rather than the theoretical framework which might just as well stay theoretical, or the pan Eastern European framework I’ve been hearing about… Hopefully you’ll meet interesting people and why not, future Edgeryders?
