 +***** Richard M. Stallman suggests a change of title (initially "Free and Open Source Technologies,​ Arts and Commoning Practices"​ in order to preserve the distinction between the Free Software Movement, a movement for freedom, and the "open source"​ idea which is a rival posture which takes an amoral stance. Alternative suggestions from more to less preferable:​\\ 
 +"​Free/​Libre Technologies,​ Arts and Commoning Practices"​\\ 
 +"​Free/​Eleftheres Technologies,​ Arts and Commoning Practices"​\\ 
 +"​Freedom-Respecting Technologies,​ Arts and Commoning Practices"​\\

 In the last few years there has been a sharp momentum in the growth of groups and spaces that operate under collective and community-driven structures of collaboration and shared learning processes (onsite and online). This is happening in parallel to debates about the fate of the commons (physical, digital, and creative), and about openness and freedom of access. Our societies are at the same time, reeling from the effects of connectivity and social media just as we try to understand their potential and limitations for civic improvement,​ mobilization and/or abuse, and their extensions into socially and community orientated art and design.\\ In the last few years there has been a sharp momentum in the growth of groups and spaces that operate under collective and community-driven structures of collaboration and shared learning processes (onsite and online).

 In our times of digital communalities,​ bringing together issues related to art, design, technology, governance, and the commons, also means to reflect on contemporary discourses of openness and freedom, and to redefine the ways we produce and share knowledge, not least about new possibilities of production and sharing in themselves.\\ In our times of digital communalities,​ bringing together issues related to art, design, technology, governance, and the commons, also means to reflect on contemporary discourses of openness and freedom, and to redefine the ways we produce and share knowledge, not least about new possibilities of production and sharing in themselves.\\
