Since 2009 had multiple awakening moments and started seeking information for a future where our society could live in a more fair and just way. Got involved with the Greek chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement and then with the squares movement in Greece. Later got involved in tolabaki - hackerspace and in 2013 co-organized the first CommonsFest in Heraklion and continued the journey with the festival since then. Since 2015 has been trying to explore the idea of building a sustainable business around free software and open source hardware called CommonsLab."
