I’m on my way to the iSummit in Dubrovnik (Croatia). Thanks to the scholarship I got from the iCommons organisation I will be able to participate in the event for those involved in Creative Commons and related topics.

Last year I also participated at the iSumit in Brazil as part of the Dutch Creative Commons team and it was the anxious long trip (I really dislike flying! Kinda like B.A.) to Brazil more than worth! I hope this year will be just as rewarding. I will be discussing some of my ideas regarding the commons and open formats. Ideas which have been brewing for the last three months or so and which have lead to the start of Spreadopenmedia.com together with Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves (involved with Xiph.org among others) and more recently Jon Philips (involved with Creative Commons .org). At this moment Spread Open Media is still more an idea / thought than a working project and I’m looking forward to discuss these indeas at the summit!

I plan to blog about these thoughts as soon as I have the time.
