The Campaign for Commons Literacy is definitely
progressing although not as rapidly as we would like it. So far the</font>
<font color="#0000ff"><u><a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/CommonsCampaign" target="_blank">http://www.indiegogo.com/CommonsCampaign</a></u></font>
<font color="#800000">page with our video got 2935 page views; we have
14 crowdfunders who donated a total of $946; our Facebook page </font><font color="#0000ff"><u><a href="http://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfCommoning" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/SchoolOfCommoning</a></u></font><font color="#800000"> attracted 144 �Likes.�<br>
<br>
Even more important than those figures is the outpouring of interest and
solidarity that triggers good conversations, in which people from
different continents and walks of life tell us about their enthusiasm
for getting involved with the campaign in various ways. So the Campaign
is already becoming what it was intended to: one of the dynamic hubs of
the commons movement. <br>
<br>
Another important news is that we�re merging with the Commons Learning
Alliance, under the name of School of Commoning. By the end of next
week, we plan to launch the Campaign Commons, a multi-platform web
space, centered on the SoC site as its coordination and learning hub. <br>
<br>
We are also planning to use James Quilligan visit to the UK later this
month, to feature him in our Meetings with Remarkable Commoners that you
graciously inaugurated in May. In December, we hope to introduce Silke
Helfrich to the London commoning scene, in the same series.<br>
