Felix Cohen at the iCommons summit 2007, Dubrovnik
Having heard the party and caiprinha stories from Rio last year, I was eagerly looking forward to Saturday night at the iCommons. Some cliff-diving from the sea-facing bars was followed by a great dinner with Becky Hogge, David Berry and Tom Chance (amongst others) gave me a chance to discuss the philosophies of the commons further. We were also joined by Anna Berthold, the Prject Manager for virtual worlds at the USC center on Public Diplomacy, who briefly held court against Dave Berry on whether the corporeality, or lack there of, of Second Life made it more or less significant as a tool for public diplomacy. The debate was quickly overtaken by the table full of pizza-eating, red wine glugging commons-ers, but it's an interesting question and I hope we get the chance to hear more from Anna on it.
Back at the conference, the intriguing band, Ghetto Booty were playing, and the party was in full swing, but had calmed down somewhat by the time we struggled in from our pizza. The commons chat continued well into the early hours of the morning however, back at the cliff-side bars and in Dubrovniks seemingly only night-club, Fuego. If only I could remember more of it...
