Commoners not able to make the trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia for the 2007 iCommons' Summit were able to attend the conference nonetheless, in Second Life. This is thanks to the USC Center on Public Diplomacy and Linden Labs who developed and ran a parallel online event.

articles · This Be Cat Country

A story by Bjorn Wijers and Simon Dingle
Croatia is a land of warm weather, beautiful people, good beer and cats. So many cats.
