The orginizing team of this year’s festival is welcoming you on Sunday the 19th of January at 7pm at the Ortakia cafe (Amnisou 11, Heraklion Crete) for a presentation and discussion of this year’s planned festival. Th meeting will also be an opportunity for people to participate, support and help with the festival.
The Festival of the Commons (CommonsFest) is an initiative to promote freedom of knowledge (or free knowledge) and peer-to-peer collaboration for the creation and management of the commons. A philosophy that has spread through free software communities and extends to many aspects of our daily lives, such as the arts, governance, construction of machinery, tools and other goods. Through an exhibition, talks, screenings and workshops, the aim of the festival is to promote the achievements of this philosophy to the public and become a motive for further adoption.
