As announced in the previous post, we were in the amazing Mozilla Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago. We were planning to present Move Commons as one of the activities of the festival, specifically in the “Angels Hacking” space. However, in the end it was far better, as we invaded Drumbeat with Move Commons stickers 
The idea, as briefed previously, was to push people to fill-in empty sticker badges of Move Commons with their icons (=more stickers) and tags. You can see the stickers that we used in our visuals gallery.
We prepared a flyer (and a poster) explaining the MC stickers mechanism (and thus, MC webtool as well)…
We left a few flyers here and there, each few with a pile of empty MC badges and a mountain of MC icon stickers 
This was the result (here in video):
Seems people found it interesting to play with the “interactive sticker”, and reply to the four MC questions about their collectives in the process. After a couple of days, we saw plenty of people (more? see this flickr) wearing their MC stickers on top of the Drumbeat registration nametag:
Thus, MC was a cross-activity during the Festival… but we also had two interesting opportunities to discuss our initiative. The scheduled one, in the Angels Hacking space, as it was placed in a tent outside, attracted a diverse range people: a couple of Portuguese hackers, several locals, a Jordanian FLOSS developer, Mozilla volunteers (local and foreign), commoners… they all ended up with their badges after nice talks and exchanges of ideas (which triggered some other reactions in some tweets and blogs, here and there). It was pretty quiet until the Laptop Orchestra began their final rehearsal… and made us run away
The second chance was more interesting, as it was placed inside the awesome Badge Lab. This space was meant for people to “Test, critique and improve badges and tools that recognize informal online learning”, and we found out that Move Commons had a lot in common with them and their discussions. MC badges initiatives and collectives, expressing their principles and connecting them semantically, while the Badge Lab aimed to badge individuals, expressing their skills and capacities. In the end, MC was one of the tracks of one session of the lab, where we brainstormed about how to improve the icons and its mechanics. Very nice people and amazing feedback, such as: we should allow extensions; what about digging more in the visual representations of concepts?; no one wants to advertise to be “close” (or Exclusive); think of the community of initiatives we want to gather…
To sum up, the Festival was really incredible, the attendees were very interesting and it helped us evolve in the right direction. Other findings during the Festival indicated that people favoured wearing stickers with positive connotations(Nonprofit, Reproducible, Reinforcing the Commons, Grassroots) and preferred leaving a space to answering negatively about something (advertising that “I am Exclusive” or “Representative” with an awkward pyramid symbol). Finally, after several discussions with the developers of the future “Mozilla badge software”, it is clear that we’ll be using their platform as soon as it is ready.
In fact, it is a very good way of explaining what MC means. You have an

You don’t need special requirements to join; you might just have some ideas, or technical/social/artistic expertise, or maybe just a lot of passion. In any case, you can
