The session will be an open discussion about the creation of an open registry of physical objects to support information systems that promote the reuse of materials through repair, upcycling and re-circulation. Some of the issues expected to be discussed are data structure and formats, governance and implications in terms of intellectual property, privacy and security.

As little as one participant might already bring valuable contributions to the discussion, in which case it would be configured as an unstructured open conversation. On the other hand, if dozens of people show up it will work just as fine. I plan to break the session in 10-15 min blocks that allow to balance between directed discussions and more open interaction.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:The intention to assess the technical feasibility of creating an open registry of physical objects is one among other building blocks of what will hopefully configure a reuse commons. The outcomes of the session will be integrated with other participatory methods adopted by the project.
