ECC COMMUNICATION PLATFORM (CP)
Throughout next week, the platform is not open for registration for
the general public. Only ECC participants can have an account at
this moment and post their own contributions. However,
non-participants are currently able to comment on all posts and
comment using Twitter (with the hashtag #4thecommons) -- and during
the conference everybody will be able to follow the video stream and
other real-time tools.
After the conference the ECC Communication Platform will be opened
completely, so that everybody can register and post on it.
If you wish to read material from CP during your trip to Berlin you
can now use a downloadhelper, ready to be used from mobile devices
for all PDF or ePub documents (right column of each post, as for
instance here:
http://commonsandeconomics.org/2013/05/19/an-urbanism-for-the-commons/)
