The recent debate around the call for a Blogger's Code of Conduct highlighted the growing importance of the online 'political commons'. Historically the political commons has been shaped by political parties, civic organisations, and news and current affairs media. Increasingly people cleave to the latter for engagement, but its ability to facilitate a political commons -- from the BBC's 'Have Your Say' to the Guardian's Comment is Free -- is not yet proven.
Is this a challenge of business models or technical constraints? Lack of understanding of users or failure to design the right kind of spaces? Or the product of broader social phenomena we have yet to understand?
We are taking the debate offline -- and invite you to come
and contribute. All event information can be found on the event
page, including up-to-date speaker information and biographies,
booking information, digital calendar data, links to venue maps,
