Hi:
Just to point the public domain concept is not the same in every jurisdiction, AFAIK. In the Spanish case it covers two cases: public state owning and, probably our case, at extinction of the exploitation rights[1].
I’m not an expert and I can’t go deeper in this area.
Welcome, @anthonyronda! Great to have you here. Would love to have you on the podcast to talk about your work with VTT. I’ll send a DM.
Hi Everyone. I’m Nebai Leon, and I’m working on a project related with Blockchain technologies: Nebai Revelations. This is based on an idea that have concerned me in the last six months, as I personally have been working hard on conceptualizing business models around the development of intellectual goods; since they’re considered public goods that cannot be limited to scarcity-based models for value capturing. Also I’ve published an article in substack exploring economic models for FOSS.
Glad to know you. This group is amazing!!
Welcome @nebairevelations! There are a few other cryptofuturists working here that are interested in the space. I hope to see some cool changes over the next few years. Check out our podcasts with Kevin Owocki for more, for sure.
Hey Sustainoss Fam 
,
My name is Siddharth Shivkumar and I am from India. I go by he/him pronouns. I started my career as a Blockchain Intern and later got a full-time role in an MNC in the AI space.
A couple of years down the lane, I realized that I enjoy working more with communities and would want to contribute to them. I now work as a Community Manager at Aviyel, trying to build a community of open-source enthusiasts that help sustain open-source projects.
I think sustainability is the only way to keep a project relevant and updated. And, unlike a lot of people around this space, I believe, it’s okay to incentivize contributors who contribute to this mission.
Fun fact: I’m a numismatist, or in simpler words, money excites me 
Looking forward to learn from the community here!
I have been a member for a while, but I sort of missed this topic until just now, so I figure better late than never yeah?
My name is Osioke Itseuwa, I work remotely from Lagos, Nigeria. I am the community lead at Pavilion. Pavilion is a distributed global cooperative of freelancers specialising in building online communities on the open source tools that power them. We are showing how communities can be used to foster a new economic model for the gig economy that empowers workers directly.
Before joining Pavilion, I was the primary Community Advocate at Discourse, building out our community initiatives and serving as the primary Community expert to our Enterprise clients.
My first experience with communities was back in 2009 during University where I found that when fellow course mates came together in groups to discuss a topic, each individual became a sum of everyone’s knowledge on the topic in the group. This led me to start a now defunct community association called OpenIT to bring together all the skilled IT students so everyone could learn from each other and help the businesses on campus grow digitally.
Since then, I have worked in different roles and organisations and after realising that I always approached my work from an open source community-centred perspective, I pivoted to working as a community professional and an open sourcerer. This has led me to work with, contribute, manage and own the development of communities and products with companies like GitHub (as part of their devrel efforts in Sub Saharan Africa), Google SSA, Discourse.org.
My current career focus these days is looking to understand and contribute to the evolution of communities and open source as they enable new forms of business and work. I’ve shared some of my work on this here previously.
In summary, I am a lean community, product, growth and open source professional with excellent strategy and retail experience spanning 10 years.
Hi all, Just learned about this group at the EU Open Source Policy Summit 2024 today. I’m Jeroen Ticheler. I have a keen interest in developing sustainable FOSS with a focus on Geospatial. Since January I’m back on the Board of Directors of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation where I hope to contribute to the further growth of the community, the use of open source geospatial technology and to the sustained and profitable development business models within our community.
GeoNetwork opensource was founded by me back in 2001 while working at the UN. GeoNetwork is widely used by governments to publish geospatial data and services. Among others it is the backbone of the INSPIRE GeoPortal in Europe and over 85% of the INSPIRE national endpoints in the EU. It also thrives in other Spatial Data Infrastructures.
My company is GeoCat with entities in The Netherlands and in Canada.
Looking forward to learn more within this community and make new connections that can foster our common growth goals. Feel free to connect!
Cheers, Jeroen
