I'm a senior web developer in innovative web projects since 15years, looking at the world in a common way, thinking out of the box to build new open source approaches to benefit the commons.
Since 4years, I'm managing and working on an NGO project, building an openSource citizen societal network called communecter.org with commoners like Maia, Julien (I can see on the list :-). We are trying to build the platform itself as a common. I'm also actively interested in modeling and mapping out commons in territories, cities and organisations. I'm very active in creating tools for Open Organisations, in order to make them glocaly(localy and globaly) more efficient.
I also Animate the "Forum des communs", Alternatiba in Reunion Island. +

In 2004 Torange Khonsari co founded the art and architecture practice public works, an interdisciplinary practice working in the threshold of participatory and performative art, architecture and related fields of anthropology, always engaged with notions of civic in the city. Their projects are socially and politically motivated and directly impacts public space, working with local organisations, communities, government bodies and stakeholders.
As a practice it is a vehicle and an umbrella that both hosts and tests the academic research undertaken within university teaching. Torange is currently a director of public works- social and political art and architecture practice, and teaches architecture and activism at UMA school of architecture Sweden where she is an Adjunct professor. The direct two -way communication between academia and practice has enabled and enriched an exploratory environment within which public works is now operating. Published work include ‘public works enjoying the in between’ planning the unplanned, 2015, ISBN 9783869840635, ‘contemporary initiative in participatory art and architecture practice’, Open house international journal, 2007.

Currently I'm working at the Vienna University of Technology researching and developing forms of Open Architecture. We try to transform existing technical DIY solutions to reach height (up to of 6 floors) on the basis of renewable and affordable materials in a modular way. Our results will be summed up in the form of a toolkit (CC-BY-SA), that should be ready by April. Also at the moment, I’m providing texts to the Shareable’s book project on Commons and Sharing Cities, where I'm focusing on exisiting Water and Housing model policies.
My relation to the Commons emerged in 2011 during my master thesis when dealing with "participatory design processes" in the context of urban planning. In 2013, I attended the Commons Summer School in Germany. Resulting further meetings eventually led to the foundation of the "Commons Institut e.V.", where I'm a part of.
From that point I’ve been drafting, particularly with David Steinwender, an imaginative Commons-society under the name of “City of Workshops”. In the context of the Commons Institute, especially with Christian Siefkes, we currently try to find ways how various initiatives can form something like a "Commons association", so people involved can fulfill their needs in a broader spectrum through commoning while avoiding potential excessive demands. +

Il est aussi maître d'oeuvre du projet international GOVENPRO, financé par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche, sur l'histoire du gouvernement de l'environnement par la propriété, fin 18e siècle-présent, Europe-USA-Mondes (post)coloniaux. Ce projet est centré sur l'histoire des interactions entre propriété et environnement: il traite donc des communs, mais aussi de toutes les autres formes de propriété (domanialité, propriété exclusive, dissociée, concessions, etc etc.). Il ne traite pas, en revanche, de tout ce qui concerne le monde numérique (sauf dans son lien aux questions de propriété sur le génome).

member of Panorama180, a non-profit association from Barcelona focused on cinema and audiovisual experimentation done with XXI century criteria: digitalization, net, compromise, agitation, change, empowerment, community... always opened to news and proposals that intend to get over the problems generated by an obsolete conception of copyright in the digital era.
Since 2010 we organize the BccN Barcelona Creative Commons Film Festival, the first film festival focused on Creative Commons understanding the license as a tool (not a purpose) which is part of an approach and individual/collective political position that, at the same time, tries to match the free culture philosophy and the commons with cinema and audiovisual. Through practical experimentation, this leads to new models of positive relationship with Internet logics and the common benefit.
During 2012 we also applied to the own festival a CC license promoting the CCWorld Audiovisual Commons Net, a global net with local festivals self-sustainables copy-derivated of the Barcelona's ones and spreeded in differents towns and cities all around the world, specially in Latin-American countries.

I'm an urban 'activist' since long years in Brussels working on differents fields like public space, environment, food, cultural diversity, community territories. More specifically I work on water issues with the association "Etats Généraux de l'Eau à Bruxelles" that I have contribute to create. This organization propose to work with hydrologic communities (living labs) on the basis of this concept : "Solidarité de vallée". Technically - because the question of the commons are technological questions too - we propose to elaborate "new urbane rivers" which are note more than a network of decentralized devices cocreates with inhabitants of the valley. This kind of program is not yet fully recognized by the authorities who are continuing to develope centralized technology. But academics of this city are really interested.
On the field of the commons self, I have propose several years ago the concept of Festival des biens commons which became Commons Josaphat. This project is now one of the main project in Brussels about the commons. It will be presented during our meeting. I would like to propose to work in Brussels about the Commons of our Commons, which can be an Commons Assembly of Brussels.
I'm working also with trade union. I accompany the Region du Centre FGTB to create something like an "atlas of the commons" in this Region. It is a very interesting experience in this very depressed part of the country. The main question is how not to be fatalist after the crisis, and the closure of heavy industry. How to take our life in hand without expecting the response of the "Messie", the big capital coming from outside… +

Militant associatif et chercheur en aménagement du territoire, je suis basé à Lausanne en Suisse. Diplômé en sciences politiques, je suis co-président de l’Association écoquartier et je travaille à l’Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (CEAT/EPFL).
Mes intérêts se dirigent en particulier vers les gestions communes dans les territoires (foncier, espace, habitat, terres agricoles, eau, etc.). J’ai organisé les « Journées des alternatives urbaines » en mai 2013, un événement dédié à la découverte d’initiatives partagées dans les villes et lors duquel nous avons proposé d’intégrer les gestions en bien commun au contexte de la ville. Lors du festival « Villes en bien commun » en 2013, j’ai invité et fait l’analyse du quartier GWL-Terrein d’Amsterdam sous forme de bien commun, court texte à retrouver sur le blog du festival (http://villes.bienscommuns.org/)., +

I have worked as an architect and planning consultant and as an activist for sustainability for over 20 years. My main input was in Feasta: Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability (www.feasta.ie) but I also served on 10+ NGO, professional or government boards promoting community development or environmental sustainability. About four years ago, I gave up all that ineffective advocacy promising myself only to work on real projects that promise immediate benefits. The commons movement is a framework for projects that perfectly fit the prescription!
I now lead two communing projects;- the Irish Biochar Cooperative based in Tipperary and the Community Land Trust Initiative based in Dublin.
The more advanced is the Irish Biochar Cooperative Society Ltd trading as +Char www.pluschar.ie. Despite its benefits, biochar still remains a niche technology / product known only to few environmentalists. We think we can mainstream biochar using a business model that has proved very successful in Irish agriculture in the 1930-50s - the agricultural cooperative. For these times, we decided we needed a multi stakeholder /open cooperative to succeed. The Biochar Coop
has 8 founder members representing workers, producers, users, service providers and community. We hope to expand with roll out of our habitat management services and new farm products this year.
The Community Land Trust Initiative (CLTI) is a forum for now while we discuss the best model to take forward. The CLTI comprises a 40+ group of building, planning and housing professionals, activists, politicians and builders who are determined to address Ireland's housing crisis and see common ownership of land as a fundamental part of the solution. We may form our own community land trust or we may partner with a local authority in an arms length trust. We will know in 6 months or so. +
Fabienne Orsi est économiste, chercheure à l’Institut de Recherche pour le Développement.

Elle œuvre au développement d'une réflexion collective sur la manière de penser la propriété autrement que sous le prisme de la conception libérale fondée sur l’individualisme et l'exclusivisme. Elle est l’une des coordinatrices du numéro de la Revue de la Régulation consacré aux communs et à Elinor Ostrom : http://regulation.revues.org/ +

Represent the European Citizenslab during the assembly of the commons in Brussels.
CitizensLab is a network of local actors of change. The aim of the network is to strengthen and connect active citizens from all sectors that are passionate about their local community. CitizensLab members engage in P2P learning experiences and look for generating and sharing the new narratives of their local initiatives that have a European relevance and dimension to the European political discourses. Experts from different sectors are part of the network, Community artists, Activists, Social entrepreneurs, Political scientists, Academics, Policy-makers and Door openers. Many network members have an artistic background. We adopt a participatory approach were members are involved in decision-making processes and in the constant creation and definition of the network. CitizensLab is a young network with great ambitions, the kickoff meeting was in June 2016 http://www.citizenslab.eu +
My background is on computer science and engineering, and
I have worked as an academic interdisciplinary researcher for
12 years on incentive mechanisms (both economic and non-economic)
for peer-to-peer systems and the NetHood project, or what we have
called recently "the right to the hybrid city":
http://ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej/article/view/1092/
Since January 2016, I have quit academia and co-founded NetHood,
http://nethood.org, as an official Zurich-based non-profit organization.
We were lucky to get involved immediately in two EU Horizon 2020
CAPS projects: http://netcommons.eu and http://mazizone.eu.
They are both inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches on the concept
of DIY networking and community (wireless) networks. See also a
recent special JoPP issue: http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-9-alternative-internets/
Through this work, and envisioning various possible synergies
between different forms of peer production, we have become
very active in two concrete areas of local collective action:
- community currencies: http://nethood.org/economy, and
- cooperative housing: http://nethood.org/housing
Our main focus is on extracting knowledge from a few concrete
success stories, like WIR/Sardex.net complementary currencies
and Zurich's "young" cooperative housing projects.
For cooperative housing, you might also find this page interesting:

In collaboration with Andrea Botero & Joanna Saad-Sulonen, we edited in Helsinki a document called 'Towards Peer-production in Public Services: Cases from Finland', Crossover 15/2012. Helsinki: Aalto University, 2012 [which can be accessed here: http://co-p2p.mlog.taik.fi/book-2012/ ]. I have also written in 2010 about the connections between rural cooperative traditions and network culture: http://affinitiesjournal.org/index.php/affinities/article/view/51
I am very much interested in migrant epistemologies and refugee hospitality & facilitation subjects, and out of the many topics presented in the Assembly, I will try to focus my contributions in the Assembly on the role of artists and cultural workers in contributing to Commons transitions, and to any migrant or cultural heritage topics.

My name is Martin Pedersen and I have been doing research on and been
involved in a wide variety of commons, temporary and "permanent" -
material and "immaterial", since the early 1990s.
11 years in university began with computing science, social history,
law, sociology and philosophy - studying the evolution of information
technology from cave paintings to cyberspace with reference to the
development of human societies and consciousness - and ended with an
interdisciplinary PhD thesis titled "Property, Commoning and the
Politics of Free Software" [1]
I am currently involved in the creation of a global seed commons
inspired by open source concepts, which brings together different open
source seeds initiatives from around the world with a view to finding a
common, conceptual ground that will allow exchange between these
initiatives and thus realise a global commons.
A great source of inspiration for paradigmatically different ways of
sharing, living and learning in common has been two years working with
indigenous people in the Amazon, to where I will also return soon and
spend considerable time the next three years.
I do freelance work editing and preparing texts of various kinds for
publication, incl. in peer-reviewed academic journals.
cheers,
martin

I am a commoner at the Froxán Commons Community, a small village in
the Galizan municipality of Lousame, close to Santiago de Compostela.
Our rural Community has 100 hectares of woodlands which are managed
through direct assembly democracy and also self-manages important
services such as village water supply. The Community faces
considerable threats from the mining industry and has been drawn into
a protracted conflict with the companies.
The municipality of Lousame, in which I have recently served as local
councillor, is a good example of the reality of land commons in
Galiza. common land is 50% of the total in the municipality, with 33
commons community assemblies managing its resources, that also include
in most cases basic services such as supply of water.
In this corner of Europe, the commons are a crucial aspect of our
life. 1/3 of the land in Galiza is "commons", some 650.000 hectares
that contribute to the livelihood of more than half a million people.
Galizan "commons" is a form of "property" which is neither State-owned
nor individual, but belonging to communities as open and fluid groups
of people settled in the land that steward its resources.
With this context in mind, we are mostly interested in traditional
mechanisms for commons management through rural assembly democracy.
But we are also very interested in expanding the notion of the commons
to other practises and places. I am also involved with the iComunales
initiative (http://www.icomunales.org/), connected to the global ICCA
Consortium (http://www.iccaconsortium.org/).
Finally, I would like to draw your attention to a massive conflict
that currently involved several other commons communities in our
municipality regarding a project to set up a massive industrial waste
landfill for a million tons in prime agricultural and forest lands
that directly affects dozens of farmers and drinking water supplies of
many of our villages. It would be of great support if the European
Commons Assembly would consider issuing a Resolution in support for
the commoners movement againts this landfill, uniting their voice with
that of the commoners of Europe.

I’m a registered architect and Ph.D. in Urban Design. As IPODI-Marie Curie fellow, I’m currently based at the Technical University Berlin - Institute of City and Regional planning, where I am working on my project “Beyond the Noise: Open Source Soundscapes."
Based on the assumption that quietness in cities should be considered as a commons, I’ve developed a citizen-driven methodology to analyze, evaluate and plan small, quiet areas on the local scale and I’m experimenting with it in Berlin, by means of a pilot study.
In order to empower people to identify and evaluate quietness in cities, I’ve also developed the Hush City app, which is free and it runs on both iOS and Android devices. Hush City app was released in April 2017 and since then quiet areas have been crowdsourced both in Europe and in the USA. In case you may want to give it a try, here you will find more info!

I have been working part time as a teacher in an architectural school (semiology of architecture, public spaces, signification of progress), and also in housing programs in a municipality, and also sometimes writing papers.
Now I am retired, I am involved in a local citizen movement in Saint-Gilles (municipality of Brussels Region). With a lot of people we made resistance against inappropriate political decisions about public spaces. And we won! We made a short movie about it. Some people showed interest for a citizen movement and several transition initiatives. So the group started with a local money project, and a reflexion about public spaces, to be considered as a Common. We are also working on a ''tree charter''.
One of our projects is presentation of books concerning transition into the public library of Saint-Gilles, to initiate a basic reflexion about transition and Commons.
So we were like Mister Jourdain, doing Commons without knowing it!
Early spring, I made an interview of Michel Bauwens, to be published next year in a Belgian/French magazine (Almanach Soldes Fins de Séries). Now we have planned to establish a Common Assembly, federating several local initiatives. But I often reflect – and I still do not know the answer – on the problem of the relevance of the group doing commons (size, quality of the persons, representativeness, ...). +

LabIN Granada - a Citizen Lab for Granada (http://labingranada.org/)
LabIN stands for Laboratory of Innovation. The project is conceived as a citizen laboratory for Granada focused on local citizen innovation. It implements a methodology based on the generation of ideas, the prototyping of solutions and the development of projects for a territory. It entails a network of citizen participation, which has two dimensions: Physical space (like a laboratory for citizen social innovation for Granada) and Digital space (a global platform for the generation of ideas and the development of prototypes and projects.
This platform is under consideration at the Regional Government in Andalusia (Spain) to implement the future Social Participation Law.

I am an environmental scientist by training, covering ecology, economy and society/institutions.
Since graduating in 2011, I have worked respectively on recycling policy, community currencies, and the concepts of ‘biobased’ and ‘circular’ economics. I also coordinated the Dutch ‘great transition’ campaign (De Grote Transitie).
While all important and potent, they each (singly) have their limitations, which has brought me to studying the commons paradigm that to me captures the essence of what is at stake here.
My key concern is theoretical synthesis and discourse formation. I am attempting to devise a framework that aims to make the dispersed field of the commons intelligible to everyday influencers (i.e. policymakers, managers, civil servants, ngo people, scholars), many of whom appear to have a latent interest in commons thinking, but who are not as commited (and certainly not as well-informed) as we are.
In an early rendition of this effort, together with Waag Society I will be running a temporary programme called Open Planbureau (preliminary, Dutch, info on www.openplanbureau.nl).
By far most of my work has been in Dutch so far, but anyone interested can visit my bilingual website www.socrates.nu or follow me on twitter: @soc_sch. +

I'm actually based in Vancouver Canada but I've been actively leading digital commons initiatives globally since 2003. For the last five years I was Associate Director of Global Learning for Creative Commons helping government, organizations, and businesses around the world adopt and use open licenses to share digital works. In this capacity I supported open policy, open business models, and open practices across all kinds of open initiatives including Open Access, Open Educational Resources, open data, open science, and open culture. I'm the co-author of a recently published book Made With Creative Commons. This book makes the case that sharing is good for business, especially for companies, organizations, and creators who care about more than just the bottom line. It includes 24 case studies of hybrid organizations who are part market or state and part commons. All of this work has led me to see the great social and economic benefits of the commons - in all its forms. Having started out focusing on the digital commons I'm now coming to embrace the physical commons and position my go forward efforts in a way that embraces both the digital and physical. Commons work in Europe seems significantly more advanced than in North America but I'm sensing a growing interest here so I've started speaking to people about the possibility of to establishing a NA Commons Assembly. In September I'll be speaking at the Open Science FAIR Conference (OSFair2017 - www.opensciencefair.eu) in Athens about the book Made With Creative Commons. Hope to meet some of you there! +

Tackling issues of climate justice on behalf of a catholic organisation, the Pope's encyclical - declaring the climate a commons - has been motivation, support and challenge at once. The main message – environmental and social problems have to be thought and fought together – has not been easy to accept for a „development“ organisation. I was surprised to see the great resonance among environmental groups – or maybe not...? I think (commitment to) change has a fundamentally ethical dimension. No surprise: the encyclical contains many disputable things, too, for example a chapter about (the concept of) work, limiting it mostly to employment. Reimagining the future of my own work, I would love to reduce my employed time in favour of more "Eigenarbeit" and conviviality, dedicating time to my family, kids (8, 9, 11), friends and the Commons-Institute I co-founded. I see a chance for the commons paradigm to gain ground within my professional environment, however, so far it has mainly been my personal commitment. +

I am exploring the idea and praxis of food as a commonss, from a normative and heuristics point of view. Preparing an academic book on "Food as a Commons" with three co-editors and 30 authors to launch the debate at global level. Why is food not treated as a commons? Why is food not governed as a public good such as health or education?
In this Assembly, I would be interested in meeting other commoners, partners and colleagues that have an interest in food. So. count on me whether specific exercises on "Mapping the food commons" are envisioned as part of the concrete steps to walk the talk. I have just been uploaded an article to the Wiki of Commons Transition on The Food Commons Transition
