Dear ICC Co-op Solidarity Announcement List memebers,
Below are descriptions of two upcoming events ("Reclaiming the Commons" and "ArbCamp 2010") in Ann Arbor this coming week. Neither of these events is sponsored or organized by the ICC. However, both events are of possible interest to those interested in the philosophy and practice underlying co-operatives.
1) Roundtable Discussion: “Reclaiming the Commons: The Struggle for a People’s Space, from Benton Harbor to Ann Arbor”
Listing on ArborWeb: <http://arborweb.com/search_results/337701284143036.html>
Date/Time: Sunday September19, 2010 1 p.m.
Place: Ann Arbor District Library Freespace (3rd floor),
343 S. Fifth Ave.
Organized by: The Washtenaw Reds
Contact information: washten...@lists.riseup.net
Free!
"All are invited to join this roundtable discussion. Speakers include local activists Alan Haber and Catherine Wilkerson, and University of Toledo history professor Peter Linebaugh (author of the book 'The Magna Carta Manifesto: Liberties and Commons for All.')
“'The Commons' is a term for resources collectively owned or shared between people. Such resources, 'held in common', can be anything from land to natural resources to even software."
"Join the Washtenaw Reds in a discussion of the struggle for 'the commons', from the 13th-century Charter of the Forest, all the way to the controversy around the District Library Lot in Ann Arbor and the ‘Golf War’ in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
"A poster for the event is available for viewing and download, at: <https://lists.riseup.net/www/d_read/washtenaw-reds/SocialistRoundtable091910_v3.pdf>.

"Arbcamp is an unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in
an open environment. It is an intense community-building event with
discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. ArbCamp is for Ann Arbor
geeks of all stripes (tech, art, music, science, biz, etc.)
"Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and
invited to participate.
"When you come, be prepared to share with ArbCampers. When you leave, be prepared to
share it with the world.
"This will be a fast-paced event with the opportunity for an extended night of
socializing and geekery.
"Registration will begin at 6pm, beer will be available at the bar and some
complimentary light snacks will be served then as well. If you have requests
for a presentation let the organizers know, the planners may be able to find
someone to talk about that.
"If you know that you would like to present, or have questions, email Chad Crabtree,
