by Angela Daly 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hello everyone, Time for an update on how our special edition of JoPP is going. So far we have received four papers for this edition and have given another 3 papers an extension so we should have all of them in the next week or so. The titles of the papers are: - ‘Cultures of sharing in 3D printing: what can we learn from the license choices of Thingiverse users?’ - ‘Disrupting Law: The prospects for government regulation of emerging technology’ - ‘Peer-to-peer as a design principle for law’ - ‘Creative-Destruction in Internet Architecture: The subversive potential of mesh networking’, - ‘Manufacturing household governance: additive manufacture and the social factory’ - ‘Collaborative activities in the digital environment: reflections on authorship, authority and voice’ .- ‘Appropriation, power imbalance and peer production in music’ We will be sending the papers out for review once we have received all of them. If you are interested in reviewing one of the papers listed, please email me or Steve off-list and let us know. We are very pleased with the quality and content of the articles we have received so far and are confident that this is going to be a great issue when it comes out around December. Angela

request for staging area and report on progress
by maxigas 22 May '14

22 May '14

hello joppers, we had a meeting yesterday about the upcoming special issue on shared machine shops. we are a bit behind schedule and as you know we have a hard deadline because we want to release the issue in time with fab10 [0]. the plan is to produce a hardcopy version of the journal and have a little release event during that gathering. we are currently looking for organisations to pay for the costs. **meanwhile, we need some technical help in order to smooth the production process of the electronic journal.** we started to think about how to get the articles onto the website and we arrived to the conclusion that we need a "staging" website, which looks like the original one but it is not public, so we can make mistakes and see how the release would look like before migrating the content to the production site. this is quite common practice in web development. therefore, the question is if somebody could set up a clone of the current website for us, or at least provide us with the hosting account details, the codebase and the database of the current website. if somebody could do it for us it would be supercool because we are short on time. but if not, we can also do it ourselves provided that we get the resources mentioned above. of course a staging website would be a contribution to the existing jopp infrastructure and it could be used by future editors to make a more smooth update when they are working on a new issue. we thought about the update process like this: * we plan to make the updates on the staging site * then ask for a backup of the live site to be made * then copy/paste the new entries to the live site + here have tech stand-by if roll-back needed!!! * then check the results and if not good revert * eventually, be happy the timeline for this would look like this: * late May: get codebase, database, hosting details * early June: install and configure staging site * June 20th: staging site content upload starts * June 27th: migrating content to live site * July 2nd or in the worst case July 4th: release!!! is there somebody in particular we should be communicating with about this? finally, we would of course need accounts on the website. i already have one and it works (thanks!), but my co-editor peter troxler would also need one. his email is trox(a)fabfolk.com thanks for your consideration, your editors.

Hi all, I would like to sponsor Vasilis Kostakis as a new member for the editorial board, which, to cite Mathieu from a previous mail-exchange, is just to repair a "lamentable oversight on our part". Vasilis, could you for briefly present yourself, your research interests and your intended contribution to the journal? /Johan PS. If you spot any more glaring gaps in the list of board members, sponsor!

P2Pvalue survey for CBPP communities
by Francesca Musiani 17 May '14

17 May '14

Dear JoPP list, I hope you are well! As some of you may know, I am working on the P2Pvalue project, and one of the tasks consists on running a survey on value creation and value capture in commons-based peer production communities. I would like to ask you for a favor: to help us diffuse the survey to CBPP community members that you might know. I believe among your contacts there may be several suitable "candidates"! If you can help us, here you have a template of message to send to your contacts and the survey link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mjiN-iQN6DXlX3RBVM24Gv5rCR32mv_9jLXD-lx… We are running out of time for this task -- and we still need answers!

FSCONS 2014, 31 Oct-2 Nov
by Johan Söderberg 12 May '14

12 May '14

JoPPers! Below you find the call for proposals for presentations at this years FSCONS (Göteborg, Sweden). Firstly I send it out here and encourage you all to submit something and participate. Second, we are going to organise a JoPP-track at the conference. I am currently in the process of writing applications to Swedish research agencies for travelling money (If you know any funding agencies or sponsor that would be suitable for this, please suggest it to me, or, even better, start writing!). Our level of involvement at the conference depends on how much money we can get in this way. That money will be used to subsidise travelling expenses, priority to those without institutional affiliation that may otherwise cover the costs, and to those participating in the conference program. Let me know if you are interested to come to FSCONS and possibly present something in relation to JoPP. If so, bear in mind that FSCONS is attended by a general public outside academia. For more ideas on content, see below. /Johan ________________________________________ Call for participation -- FSCONS 2014, 31 Oct-2 Nov The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting place for social change, focused on the intersection between technology, culture and society. FSCONS is organised according to the principles laid out in our Manifesto[1], a living document accepted by the society's members at the yearly meeting. The conference brings together people from a wide range of fields, and merges the technical with the social, seeking both to activate and challenge. Open discussion and brainstorming are as important as the talks given during the conference. Invitation We're looking for proposals that relate to Free Software, Free Culture or Free Society generally, as well as those which are at the crossroads of the three or which take the philosophy and brings them to a whole new field. To give you a hint of the scope of the conference here are some topics already planned: * Open Space * Open Government * Open Web * Programming Languages * Makers But don't let this restrict your thinking: you can submit a proposal even if it doesn't quite fit into any of the above topics. The dead line for your proposal is June 20th. How to submit your proposal In order to submit your proposal, please go to [2], register your proposal and make sure your provide valid contact information. This proposal form is to be used only for your personal proposal. If you have ideas of other people you want to suggest as speakers, please feel free to suggest those in the FSCONS Wiki [3]. After the review period, ending July 4th, you will get notified if your proposal is accepted or not. Important dates for FSCONS 2014 * June 20th - deadline for submissions * July 4th - accepted proposals will be notified.
