Hi all
I was looking at CITY CFP and that led me to our peer review page
http://peerproduction.net/peer-review/process/
It states that:
"Our process is also informed by Toni Prug's (2010) paper on community reviewing: submission proposals can be made on our open email list. Prospective authors will then be told by our peer review community whether their proposal is appropriate for the journal and if any additional key elements are missing."
This clashes with the submission page which was recently updated.
"Themed issues
For themed special issues, please refer to the Call For Papers and submit directly to the special issue editors.
Unsolicited submissions
For submissions which do not fit into a special issue theme, please submit to the Varia editor, Peter Troxler, by posting to the (not publicly archived) editorial team mailing list: jopp [dash] editorial [at] lists [dot] ourproject [dot] org"
See http://peerproduction.net/about/submissions/
So I am proposing to remove the above peer review page para.
cheers
Mathieu

Call for Papers - Journal of Peer Production #11 CITY
Editors: Penny Travlou, Nicholas Anastasopoulos, Panayotis Antoniadis
ABSTRACTS DUE 31 JANUARY 2017
One of the welfare state’s key jurisdictions was to tend to housing and public space in benevolent ways. However, under the neoliberal dogma, commodification and gentrification threaten both the right to housing and the right to the city. In recent years, cities have become increasingly militarized and surveyed, resembling battlegrounds where freedom and democracy are under attack. At the same time, recent economic, political, and social crises have activated many counter-forces of resistance and creative alternatives for the grassroots production of food, health services, housing, networking infrastructures, and more.
The role of technology has been contradictory as well. On the one hand, the Internet has enabled some of the most remarkable peer production success stories at a global scale, such as Wikipedia and Free and Open Source Software, among many others. On the other hand, it has empowered huge corporations like Facebook and Google to fully observe and manipulate our everyday activities, and oppressive governments to censor and surveil their citizens.
At the city scale, technology offers opportunities for self-organization, like wireless community networks and numerous bottom-up techno-social initiatives, but also animates the top-down narrative of the “smart city” and the commodification of the “sharing economy" as a service provided by globally active platforms such as Airbnb and Uber. In this situation, peer production in space emerges as a vital bottom-up practice reclaiming citizen participation, and inventing new forms of community.
In this context, some core challenges arise:
– If we choose not tο rely on global players to provide peer production support at a local scale, how could different areas of peer production in the city, digital and physical, interact and support each other?
– What types of governance models can adequately support peer production in the city?
To address those challenges one needs to take into consideration the following:
– Lessons learned from the Internet and how they may be incorporated in the context-specific realities of the city.
– Knowledge-transfer methodologies across different localities.
– Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations (urban studies, media studies, sociology, architecture, cultural geography, informatics, etc.).
– Possible collaborations and synergies between activists that fight for the “right to the city” and those that fight for the “right to the Internet”.
-Knowedge/experience transfer between non-urban settings (i.e. intentional communities, ecocommunities, the Transition movement, etc.) and the urban movements.
– Inquiry into research methods and methodologies to be developed and used for analysing ICT-mediated peer production in urban space.
This special issue of JoPP aims to explore a wide variety of alternative and innovative peer practices, such as urban agriculture, food sustainability, the solidarity economy, right to the city movements, cooperative housing, community networks, P2P urbanism tactics, co-design practices and more, that are directly reflected in the production of urban space. We are particularly interested in novel combinations of theory, methodologies, and practices that can contribute to peer production in the city and enable new synergies between projects and communities.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
– Urban commons and peer production
– Case studies of innovative peer practices approached from different perspectives
– Comparative case studies on patterns of commoning and think-global / act-local methodologies
– The regional dimension: examples from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia
– Political issues of autonomy, hegemony, labour, gender, geopolitical and post-colonial perspectives
– Alternative forms of education and learning tools for promoting self-organization and community
– Innovative governance tools for peer production in the city
– Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodological approaches
– Urban studies and the right to the (hybrid) city
– Open source urbanism/architecture
– Recycling/upcycling vs buying: making, consuming or prosuming the city?

Hello Mathieu, Peter et al,
Thank you for the invitation to become part of the JoPP board -- it's a
great honour to be involved with such a great community of makers and
thinkers. I've been a big fan of the work of JoPP for a while now as an
open tech practitioner, and I often credit the Shared Machine Shops Issue
#5 for helping inspire me to go back into academia and conduct my own
research!
As for what I'm up to, I'm currently doing doctoral fieldwork aimed at
understanding user experiences of access, ownership and power at spaces for
digital making emerging within cultural institutions in London like the
Tate's Digital Studio. This work is made possible thanks to a scholarship
from the University of Sussex Digital Humanities Lab:
http://sussex.ac.uk/shl
I'm also a critical design practitioner via http://codekat.net and have
collaborated with (and learned from!) many of you here while working for
various open tech orgs from Mozilla to the Open Knowledge Foundation for
the past 10 years, building creative F/LOSS tools, curricula and workshops
for underserved communities ala <http://mozfestartoftheweb.tumblr.com>.
As far as my participation with JoPP, I'm happy to say Adrian Smith and I
will be co-editing Special Issue #12, which builds on the shared machine
shop insights of Issue #5 by looking at a new wave of institutionalization,
practices and spaces amongst shared machine shops. This issue was proposed
in collaboration with participants of a track entitled "Whose industrial
revolution?" from this year's 4S/EASST Barcelona: <http://bit.ly/1SzPmvI>.
I'm also happy to help with the JoPP website if needed.
I look forward to learning (and continuing to be inspired) by you all!

Dear Mathieu,
many thanks for your answers. I was waiting more and i don't like to break
your very good discussion about licence. Maxigas say very clear" the best
copyright is the dead copyright. And you have to recognice, that the first
step for every licence is the privatisation. The totally exclusion of
others. Independent, if you use the knowledge of others for your work.
Yes, I'm a bit disappointed about your answer. I don't understand that you
don't create a space for relection of the texts in your journal. It is not
a question of Journal or Blog. It is more a question of our responsibility
for that, what we do. Your seperation is fictitious. Of course, we can
create every form of fiction in our head.
The result seems to be, that this list is the only place, where the readers
of this journal texts can discuss and reflect the texts? And if i want to
start a discussion about Alternative Internets i can do this only in this
list?
For me, this is unbelievable.
many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay
