COMMUNIA organizes it's first workshop on Technology and the Public Domain in Torino (Italy), on 18 January 2008.
Digital technologies have enabled new ways to appropriate public goods as well as emerging and innovative methods to create, share and use them. Therefore, it is no surprise that technology occupies a prominent role in the international debate about the "digital commons". The technology community at large, however, rarely employs concepts such as the "public domain" or "infrastructural commons"-- often underestimating the complex relationship between technological innovation and today's mass usage of digital technologies.
The 1st COMMUNIA Workshop, organized by the Politecnico di Torino, provides an opportunity for experts and innovators in digital technologies to meet with other stakeholders, opinion leaders, and policy makers in order to deepen and share their understanding of the role of technology in shaping the present and future of our digital commons.
About COMMUNIA - The European Thematic Network on the Digital Public Domain:
COMMUNIA is a project funded by the European Commission, consisting of a network of organisations conducting high-level policy discussion and strategic action on all issues related to the public domain in the digital environment, as well as related topics such as alternative forms of licensing for creative material (including, but not limited to, the Creative Commons licenses), open access to scientific publications and research results, management of works whose authors are unknown (i.e. orphan works).
The COMMUNIA workshop on "Technology and the Public Domain" will take place in Torino (Italy), at the Aula Magna of the Politecnico of Torino at the Lingotto (Via Nizza 230).
