# Spaces

xxx Three kinds of spaces:

* [Platform spaces](/handbook-trial/1-principles/intentions/platform-spaces.md) - Commons of running code - centrally, [**Big Blue Button**](/handbook-trial/8-terminology/terminology/bbb-big-blue-button.md): free-libre open-source ([FLOSS](/handbook-trial/8-terminology/terminology/floss.md)) software code, running on a family of servers on various continents, and in users' web browsers, on their own diverse devices, across the web
* [Media spaces](/handbook-trial/1-principles/intentions/media-spaces.md) - Commons of digital media - for example, posts in the Forum (running on [Discourse](/handbook-trial/8-terminology/terminology/discourse.md)), the meet.coop handbook (running on [gitBook](/handbook-trial/8-terminology/terminology/gitbook.md))
* [Venue spaces](/handbook-trial/1-principles/intentions/venue-spaces.md) - Commons of live contribution and hands-on capability - for example, *commons.hour*, the sociocratic [circles](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/circles.md) where operational members organise their operational contributions, the General Assembly

Together, these three kinds of spaces constitute **the commons of meet.coop**. Each calls for [commoning](/handbook-trial/1-principles/commoning.md) in a somewhat different, distinctive mode - that is, under particular protocols.

xxx Provisioning - the [toolstack](/handbook-trial/1-principles/intentions/the-toolstack.md). Provisioning *spaces for practices*

* The extended trinity
* The stack rump
* Specials

xxx Forces of production. Digitally mediated practices. 

* Privileges
* Obligations
* Protocols. Protocols specify altered relations of production aRoPs. See [Social relations](/handbook-trial/3-social-relations/design-and-operation-principles.md).
