Hi again all, Just a quick update that the Journal of Peer Production Twitter account is up to 100 followers after only a few weeks in action, and has started to gather some quite nice bits of public discussion and interest around the articles of Special Issue 11 City: https://twitter.com/peer_production I would *really* value someone else stepping up at this stage to help carry the load by tweeting from the account with me every now and then (a few times a week would be more than helpful!), as the discussions will only continue if we keep fostering them together - and in any case it's always better to feature a diversity of voices. The more the merrier, really. Let me or Mathieu know? Thanks in advance for your help... - K On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 1:14 PM, Mathieu O'Neil <mathieu.oneil(a)anu.edu.au> wrote: > Hi all > > > Great news - the @peer_production account is now live on Twitter.

ISSUE #11: CITY of the Journal of Peer Production is out!
by Nicholas Anastasopoulos 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

The new special issue of the Journal of Peer Production on CITY is published! It showcases a wide variety of case studies in cities from different geographies of the Global North and Global South namely *Barcelona, Berlin, Brisbane, Brussels, Ciudad Juárez, Dhaka, Genoa, London, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Paris, Rosario. * Some of those case studies focus more on peer production technologies and others more on the social and political processes on the ground, all with different research methodologies and approaches. They invite us to reflect on various forms of peer production of knowledge and representation of the city as a commons, where technology should be considered as both a tool (infrastructure) and a contested space. They look at challenges of governance focusing on citizen-driven models of peer production in the city where local governments are called to be in dialogue and build synergies with different stakeholder communities. They use participatory and collaborative methods to collect their data following co-creative research approaches. They are transdisciplinary as much as interdisciplinary in both the methodological and theoretical approaches taken by contributors who merge together urban studies, architecture, informatics, political and social sciences, and ethnography to name a few. The authors collaborated directly - as activists or through their research with other activists, communities and/or stakeholders- giving voice to all those involved in the making and sharing of those projects. In numbers, there are *eight case study research papers* which have been peer-reviewed and revised through the particularly transparent review process of JoPP (i.e. for each of the peer-reviewed papers the originally submitted version, the reviews and the final feedback of reviewers on the revised version are made public) and *four experimental contributions* that have been reviewed by the special issue editors. The experimental pieces follow a less rigorous and more playful format, an interview with commentary, a dialogue, a call for participation, and an open-ended online article. They all invite us, the readers, to follow up their stories in dedicated online venues, or even in face-to-face meetings, and participate in the form of peer production that they advocate for. Along similar endeavours opening up to possibility and hope in the midst of uncertainty, these twelve stories of peer production, most of them positive and encouraging, document and analyse different forms of citizen engagement and participation. They are good examples of situated action that can provide inspiration and eventually help to build tools, toolkits, best practices, patterns, and methodologies. As editors, we learned a great deal while putting together these contributions, all different in style, context, and methodology. We hope that they will prove inspiring and empowering for all readers as well to engage as citizens-activists, co-creators, insurgent architects, who appropriate and contextualise urban technologies and materialities to serve local collective needs. The editors, Nicholas, Penny, Panayotis

Journal of Peer Production Twitter handle?
by Kat Braybrooke 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hello all, Just wondering if you've discussed already (or made plans for) setting up a Twitter handle for the Journal of Peer Production? I'm bringing it up now because a lot of people ask me for one when I discuss the special issues with them - and I bet it's the same for each of you. I also regularly see people tweeting about the journal, but without a handle to link others on Twitter to it. Given tweets can be quite a useful mechanism for sharing readings widely with many folk at once when new issues come out, I'd be happy to maintain an account with a few others here if anyone else is interested. Just putting it out there as an offer, and apologies if it's already been talked about before I was conscious on this list ;) - Kat

by Mathieu O'Neil 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hi all A quick word to update everyone on forthcoming JoPP releases: JoPP ##11 CITY to be released this week dated JAN 2018. The issue looks really, really good. :-) JoPP # 12 SHOPS 2 (I made that up - sorry eds) to be released May-June dated SEPT 2018. JoPP #13 OPEN we (Steve Collins and I) accepted 7 peer review papers - if anyone has any ideas for special sections (debates, interviews, invited comments etc) please get in touch with us. The issue is meant to be released in JAN 2019. We might be switching to annual releases in which case JoPP #14 would be released in JAN 2020. Maurizio indicated he might put a bid in, not sure what status that plan is at. If anyone has ideas for an issue, preferably around ideas in OPEN CFP, please post a message to public, or contact ed list, or one of the ed team directly. cheers Mathieu
