I’m typically attracted by interesting titles! Already the title of this session makes me curious – The Curious Commons: Towards a Digital Public Goods Lab I would guess the presenters will relate to the Digital Public Goods Appliance??

I am also cuing up to watch this panel session Who Maintains the Commons? A Hybrid Panel on Hacking OER for Shared Stewardship

I thoroughly enjoyed the session, The Structural Value of Openness: Open Infrastructure for Public Good. It provided fantastic examples of what can be achieved through a commons-based infrastructure and how such approaches can support knowledge sharing at scale. I particularly appreciated the showcase of student work and the creative ways the Commons is being used to provide alternative pathways for accessing existing information and open collections. An inspiring example of openness in practice. Great work!

Thanks for the note, I am eager to watch that session https://sched.co/2QUdX when the recording is available.

The CUNY Academic Commons is indeed a remarkable achievement with more than 60000 members, I highly recommend exploring it!
