“Boredom is always counterrevolutionary. Always.” Guy Debord

My utopia is freedom, openness and cooperation of free people through free agreements. I’m looking for projects that discuss concepts of freedom, openness and cooperation in theory and / or practice. Freedom of expression, open access, open data and transparency as well as a free [free like freedom, not like free beer] access to knowledge, education and our intellectual and cultural commons are the prerequisites of a free and open society. Let’s push things forward!
