[A2k] iSummit, Japan - Programme

[Rosanne Hack]

Dear iCommoners

James Cairns and the iSummit lab leaders are hard at work
finalising the iSummit programme, with the first draft of the
programme due to be released on Monday 9 June. In the meantime,
we've spruced up the programme page on the iSummit website to give
you a sneak peak at what will be happening during the event.

Go to the Programme page at
(http://icommonssummit.org/programme/index.html') where you'll
find a long list of Keynotes
(http://icommonssummit.org/programme/keynote.html) giving an
overview of the inspiring addresses they will be giving. We are
proud to introduce some new faces to the iSummit keynoters,
including South African, Adam Haupt
(http://icommonssummit.org/speakers/2008/04/adam-haupt.html) who
will speak about 'Copyright and the colonial inheritance: the
politics of IP and the politics of ID' and
Johanna Blakley
(http://icommonssummit.org/speakers/2008/05/johanna-blakley.html)
who will speak on 'Fashion and the Commons.'

The Lab (http://icommonssummit.org/programme/labs.html) pages have
also been updated to reflect the running order of the day more
clearly =E2=80=93 giving a breakdown of what will be happening in all the
sessions of the Labs. There are some goodies such as the Open
Business lab Open Consultation session =E2=80=93 where entrepreneurs can
present their open business ideas to seasoned commons veterans for
advice and to test the open business checklist
(http://icommonssummit.org/summit_blog/2008/05/checklists-on-
openness-and-ano.html). Another highlight will be the session in
the DIY Video lab where open video as a tool for activism and
social change will be discussed. There's loads more info on the
Lab pages (http://icommonssummit.org/programme/labs.html).

Also find out more about the social aspects of the event,
including the Japanese culture programme that will give us a taste
of Japan by featuring a calligraphy workshop and a traditional tea
ceremony.

We hope that this will whet your appetite for open sharing;
innovation and workshopping that will take place in Sapporo, and
don't forget to look out for the detailed programme on 9 June.
