PDF versions of articles

Hi Peter, maxigas, all Last October we had a discussion about the desirability of having JoPP listed in places such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). One of the questions applicants to DOAJ need to answer is whether they provide PDF versions of articles. It was decided to delay application to DOAJ until PDFs were back in play (to avoid having to modify the application (I admit I don't know for sure how complicated that would be)). In any case - as Zack and I are currently preparing the release of JoPP#10 I thought it was a good opportunity to enquire about this: is there any chance we might have something in place in time for the upcoming release? cheers, Mathieu

by Mathieu ONeil 09 May '17

09 May '17

Hi all A quick update on where we (Zack and I) are re. JoPP#10 Work and peer production. The issue was scheduled for release in March/April but there have been and continue to be delays owing to circumstances outside our control. We are aiming for a late April/early May release. Four out of five peer reviewed papers have been copy-edited and revised by eds. We are about to send these out to reviewers for signals and comments. It would be greatly appreciated if these could be expedited asap. cheers, Mathieu

The Political Economy of Hacking – Accelerate, Augment, or Abolish the Markets?
by Mathieu ONeil 05 May '17

05 May '17

Hi all Posting on behalf of Johan. cheers Mathieu PS. I approved today Johan's original post which required admin authorisation on 20 April (apologies for delay Johan) BUT its in the list archive... dated 2 May!? The Political Economy of Hacking – Accelerate, Augment, or Abolish the Markets? Circle 6: Appropriating Technology for Societal Change 26th of July - 2nd of August, Saulkrasti, Latvia Deadline for applications: sun 14th of May Theme of the symposium Technology disrupt markets. It is open to debate, however, what this implies for the future of the market economy. Some hackers and activists look forward to the day when technological progress has abolished the need for market exchanges. For instance, self-acclaimed pirates strive to make intellectual property unenforceable with file sharing protocols. Hobby-engineers develop self-reproducing 3D printers under the slogan: “wealth-without-money”. The digital currency Faircoin has been launched as a more equitable alternative to the existing monetary system. Peer production, exemplified in free software development, is showcased as a non-coercive model for organizing work. Towering above these initiatives is basic income as a redistributive principle, arguably better adjusted to the age of full automation. The post-capitalist future envisioned by some hackers and activists contrasts with the “accelerationist” vision. According to the latter viewpoint, it is not markets but monopolies, guild privileges, and state regulations that are unsettled by technological breakthroughs. Virtual reality paves the way for “augmented property”, block-chain technology unlocks new areas of the lifeworld to just-in-time monetary flows, and computerization allows work to be parceled up in ever finer tasks and micropayments. Whose utopia will carry the day – you are invited to take part in the discussion! Relevant themes for presentations may include, but is not limited to, the following questions: • Is peer production still on the agenda after the rise of the “sharing economy”? • Is basic income the answer to automation and jobless growth? • What are the identities of future workers: employees, turkers, makers? • How is wealth distribution affected by platform capitalism? • What new avenues of marketization will be opened-up with block-chain technology? • Can alternative currencies be designed to fix the monetary system? • Historical perspectives on the rise of peer production/platform capitalism/sharing economy • Theoretical perspectives at the intersection of hacking, high-tech markets, and labour Format of the presentation Presentation of work: We wish to facilitate debates and therefore encourage free oral presentation rather than reading from a paper. A presentation should aim for 20-30 min., leaving time for discussions. Text: You can offer to present a text (own writing or a published text) which has been distributed beforehand to the participants. The text should not exceed 25 pages.
