1 week to go until iSummit registration closes
Well, believe it or not but the iSummit is only 14 days away, which means that the staff in South Africa and Japan need to start tallying numbers and assigning hotel rooms to all those who intend on coming to the iSummit in Sapporo. This means that registration is closing on Monday 21 July, at 4pm GMT + 2, giving you one week to login to the system to book your seat at the event... more

ComCom as part of CC

This is a call for a new front (financial) and method (ComCom) for the goal of Decentralizations of Human Systems (which is assumed to be shared with the CC community)! We may now have CC versus ComCom, for distinguishing between the Creative Commons by CC from the Common Companies by ComCom. Here you can shortly learn what Common Companies are. Also let me here introduce the IsWith Ltd promoting the concept of ComCom.
I am here to argue that both: CC and ComCom are the 2 sides of what we must have, if our task is decentralization in front of both: the corruption by big cooperations and the making advantages from hiding information. The opening information becomes more and more part of the strategy of the huge cooperations (IBM, Oracle, GOOGLE) and that is only because it make an advantage for their shareholders, which in return only increases centralization. The point is that opening knowledge in itself as it is the main focus of CC does not necessarily contributes to decentralization of the market, where the few main owner of the market make their benefit form the knowledge. For more about this issue please see the table of For whom is the Knowledge making profit?. In fact the centralization, in the global economy today and as part of the globalization itself, is overwhelmingly increasing. Here is one example and I believe it is important to have such info about any other country.
OK, so what do I get form ComCom? Here is A short example for functional formation and here is To what extant the ownership may last by forming cooperations in ComCom.
ComCom can produce open and/or close source/info, but their decentralization is always a transparent factor, for more, please see this and this.
Here are some additional thoughts about the integration of ComCom with CC.
IsWith Ltd company, of which the whole purpose of existence is only making more and more ComCom (together), is to be owned mainly (between 50% to 80%) by its Common shareholders, where its clients must be also its shareholders, in this way the company is more like a community, since each such Common shareholder has equal share/say.
I guess that because of the community-like aspect of ComCom in general and of IsWith specifically, the Director of Creative Commons International announced this: "We have taken a look at your website and it seems like an excellent project." and then she sent me to here, meaning icommons.
The main motivation for and the focus of IsWith Ltd is the decentralization by itself (for more please see this and this ), its target market (of clients/common shareholders) consists of artists, developers and researchers and its service is of networking or of changing of licensing out of the networking.
IsWith Ltd currently has no budget and attempts to have more common shareholders, of which each pays only once $10, where such payment of other such shareholders (or held value of any such) will be increased by $1 with each entry of additional 55 such ones, until the payment reaches $100 (or the company would be 50% owned by common shareholders). If you believe this project is suitable for you, why not becoming its common shareholder?
With enough common shareholders we intend to apply to drupal developers for developing an out-of-the-box ComCom module.
And here the all about IsWith in one page.
Last but not least and in reaction to Lawrence Lessig saying that his "primary aim now is to put CC on a solid financial footing, to guarantee the next five years at least.That security will begin if we can meet the goal we have for this campaign - X $."
What could be more matching the desire of CC community than that the "solid financial footing" would be formed in ComCom?
Best Regards
With burning ass to start doing ComCom with you :-)
gtgl i.e. good time good luck
and thanks for your attention!
