The idea of the commons is much older than capitalism. But somehow we got used to the opposite idea: that everything is private property unless stated otherwise. A lot of problems already have open source solutions, but those who need them not always can find them. How to complete that missing link to help the commons to fulfill their promises of a fairer, inclusive society? Presentation for Creative Commons Global Summit 2018, in Toronto, Canada

Commons -creative or not- meaning?
Pool of shared resources in a community, material or immaterial, analogical or
digital.
A kit of rules to use those resources and make them available to everyone.
A scope to frame our world and lives.
A resistance and resilience culture against privatisation and commodification.
Values: ethics, fairness, equity, openness, p2p, reciprocity, focus on humans.
