According to the International Co-operative Alliance: A co-operative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise. Let's do a little remix: The Commons are artefacts openly licensed by an autonomous association of persons. They use open licensing to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled system of resources. The Co-op movement and the Open movement have more than a little in common, yet they are tenuously connected through individuals rather than entire communities. In this session, we try to figure out how to change that.

We'll be using this pad: http://bit.ly/2nNuze0
