Fw: [JoPP-Editorial] Feminism and (un)hacking links & release (was: Re: JoPP 8 link structure)

PS. Correction It's probably impossible to change links from frontpage as they are automatically generated However links to peer reviewed articles from the jopp 8 issue page http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-8-feminism-and-unhacking-2/ ... should lead to issue 8 peer reviewed articles page http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-8-feminism-and-unhacking-2/peer-revi… ... which has the metadata NOT straight to the article page (same goes for links in release notice) Hope this makes sense cheers mathieu ________________________________ From: jopp-editorial-bounces(a)lists.ourproject.org <jopp-editorial-bounces(a)lists.ourproject.org> on behalf of Mathieu ONeil <mathieu.oneil(a)anu.edu.au> Sent: Friday, April 1, 2016 13:14 To: Journal of Peer Production's Editorial team list Cc: Sophie Toupin, Ms.; lillyng(a)email.unc.edu Subject: [JoPP-Editorial] Feminism and (un)hacking links & release (was: Re: JoPP 8 link structure) Hi Peter, all I agree that it would be ideal to be able to access metadata from each article page. However as you say this would involve completely re-doing all of the peer reviewed articles link structure: a big job. Maybe if we raise money (as discussed occasionally) we could pay a web designer some hours to re-code on a test site? What do others think? IN THE MEANTIME: @Sophie, Shaowen and Lilly: congratulations on a really great issue. As said before, I am so sorry the release was delayed. But, now that it is up, we ned to tell the world. So, with that in mind, can you please advise: 1.do you have a short text to announce the JoPP feminism and (un)hacking issue release? 2.what are your plans re JoPP feminism and (un)hacking issue promotion: Vasilis has set up a pad (thanks) where email lists etc can be listed to avoid multiple posts and I have started to populate it: http://etherpad2-p2plab.rhcloud.com/p/JoPP_Lists 3.finally, do you intend to modify the link structure as outlined below so that metadata (original subs, reviews, signals) are not bypassed from front page (or release announce)? cheers, Mathieu ________________________________ From: jopp-editorial-bounces(a)lists.ourproject.org <jopp-editorial-bounces(a)lists.ourproject.org> on behalf of Dr. Peter Troxler <trox(a)fabfolk.com> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2016 17:05 To: Journal of Peer Production's Editorial team list Cc: lillyng(a)email.unc.edu; Sophie Toupin, Ms. Subject: Re: [JoPP-Editorial] JoPP 8 link structure Disagree slightly: The structure of the issue is pretty similar to all the other issues (compare http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-8-feminism-and-unhacking-2/ and http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-0/) ... except that the titles ("Peer Reviewed Papers") are malformated and not linked (should be easy to fix).

Peer production and work issue: update
by Mathieu ONeil 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi everyone We got a dozen abstract submissions for the peer production and work issue, narrowed it down to seven and eventually received five full papers. There has been some uncertainty arising from the journal website being targeted by malicious attacks. We (well, Peter mostly) have been working to fix the problem and rebuild the site but this has taken longer than expected. This has resulted in the delayed release of JoPP issues 8 (feminism) and 9 (alternative internets). Issue 8 is about to be released and 9 will take the place of our planned release in June/July. This means the peer production and work issue, JoPP 10, will be released at the end of the year.* The revised schedule for JoPP 10 peer review is as follows: Papers sent out for review: 20 March 2016 Reviews to authors: 30 April 2016 Revised papers: 30 June 2016 Signals due: 30 August 2016 Issue release: December 2016 / January 2017 We will be contacting reviewers in the next day or so. cheers, Mathieu and Stefano *This also means we need to lock in JoPP 11 (urbanism? Panos?)

Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for the People // March 11-12-13th, 2016 // Barcelona
by Mayo Fuster Morell 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hola! I hope of interest of people in this list. In solidarity, Mayo English - Català - Castellano Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for an economy of the People An encounter which aims to highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented approach of peer production and collaborative economy, while proposing public policies and providing technical guidelines to build platforms for collaborative communities. www.procomuns.net<http://www.procomuns.net> Contact: <mailto:[email protected]> info(a)dimmons.net<mailto:[email protected]> WHEN & WHERE During the weekend of March 12-13th, 2016, with a locally-oriented event taking place on Friday, March 11th, 2016. Barcelona Activa<http://www.barcelonactiva.cat/> (Carrer Llacuna, 162 -164, 08018 Barcelona) GOALS 1. Highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy, and project internationally the relevance of commons – oriented production in Barcelona and Catalonia. 2. Build policy recommendations for public administrations, specifically to be sent to the Plan of Municipal Action (PAM) for the next 4 years of the Barcelona City Council, and the consultation process of the European Commission, on public policies of promotion and regulation of the collaborative economy and the model of city. 3. Provide technical guidelines to build free and open software and decentralized technologies for collaborative communities. ORGANIZERS The is organized by Barcelona Activa – Department of “Other Economies and proximity” with the BarCola – Node on collaborative economy and commons production in Barcelona (associated to the Social and Solidarian Economy Commission of the Barcelona City Council), and the P2Pvalue European project<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/> (locally by Dimmons<http://www.dimmons.net/>– Digital Commons Research at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute of the Open University of Catalonia (Dimmons.net @ IN3-UOC) and the Institute of Govern and Public Policies of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (IGOPnet.cc<http://igopnet.cc/> @ UAB). Organizers collaborators of the event are Guifi.net<https://guifi.net/>, Goteo<https://ca.goteo.org/>, Pangea<https://pangea.org/>, Free Knowledge Institute (with the Digital DIY project<http://www.didiy.eu/>), the Reutilitza.cat<https://www.reutilitza.cat/en> and eReuse.org<http://www.ereuse.org/en/> projects, Amical Viquipedia<https://www.wikimedia.cat/>, and OuiShare<http://ouishare.net/>, among others. DEPARTING DIAGNOSTIC AND DIRECTION In the last two decades we have seen the emergence of Internet-enabled collaborative communities building shared and common resources. Commons-based Peer Production is rapidly growing, not just for the disruptive and very successful cases of software (with free and open software) and encyclopedias (Wikipedia) but also for information (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), hardware (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), accommodation (Couchsurfing) and currency (local coins). More recently, we have also seen the emergence and growth of hybrid models which retain some similar organizational logic, such as being based on collaborative principles, but privatizing others. This is the case in corporate-based peer production such as Uber or Airbnb. Are they truly collaborative economies?. This issue opens up a series of debates and opportunities about how to retain the commons and socially transformative dimension in the collaborative economy through the recognition of the distinctive values of these modes of production, beyond value approaches which focus on monetization, and new forms of open/peer/platform cooperativism. However, public debate mainly focuses on the controversies around large corporations entering the collaborative economy. Thus, the public is mostly aware of peer production through these few large corporations. There is a growing need to organize and raise the visibility of the commons and socially-oriented model, and to address which are the conditions that should be present in order to characterise an economy or enterprise as “collaborative”. Additionally, recent technological developments, such as emergent blockchain technologies, have opened up new avenues of commons production, management and distribution through more decentralized governance structures, which also open up very promising avenues for the evolution of the collaborative economy. The more important commons-based peer production becomes, the more that controversies emerge, attracting the interest of public administrations. Still, it remains largely unclear what the role of public administrations might be, which Public-Commons partnerships could be established, and what policy approach could be the most productive and beneficial. The event main goal is to highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy, and build policy and technical resources to promote its scalability. The encounter will mix plenaries with unconference / open space working groups to achieve the targeted outcomes. Participants will have the chance to suggest other activities. Antecedents The event will follow up on the previous workshop FLOSS4P2P<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>, organized by the P2Pvalue<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/> european project, this time expanding the focus to policy. It will provide an opportunity for policy people to interact with the technical teams of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) platforms for commons-based peer production communities, and to get a “deep dive” into how to promote the commons approach to collaborative economy from institutions.

DIAGNOSTIC I DIRECCIO Les últimes dues dècades hem comprovat com gràcies a Internet sorgien comunitats col·laboratives i noves possibilitats d’utilitzar recursos comuns. La producció procomú està creixent ràpidament, no només en l’àmbit del programari (lliure i obert) i del coneixement (projectes enciclopèdics, educatius i lingüístics com la Viquipèdia), sinó també per obtenir informació (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), maquinària (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), allotjament (Couchsurfing) o divises (monedes locals). Més recentment, també hem vist l’aparició i creixement de models híbrids que presenten lògiques d’organització similars, basades en principis de col·laboració, però privatitzant-ne d’altres. És el cas de la producció entre iguals de base corporativista com Uber o Airbnb. Però són aquestes realment les economies de col·laboració? El problema obre una sèrie de debats i oportunitats sobre com conservar el procomú i la dimensió de transformació social en l’economia col·laborativa a través del reconeixement dels valors propis d’aquests modes de producció, més enllà dels enfocaments de valor que es centren en l’obtenció d’ingressos, i les noves formes de cooperativisme obert, entre iguals i en plataformes. Tot i això, el debat públic es centra principalment en les controvèrsies al voltant de grans corporacions que irrompen en l’economia col·laborativa. Així doncs, l’opinió pública està majoritàriament al corrent de la producció entre iguals a través d’aquestes poques grans corporacions. És per aquest motiu que hi ha una creixent necessitat d’organitzar i augmentar la visibilitat del procomú i del seu model d’orientació social, i de definir quins criteris són els que caracteritzen una economia o empresa com a “col·laborativa”. A més a més, recents progressos com les tecnologies emergents blockchain han obert noves vies de producció, gestió i distribució procomú a través de models de governança més descentralitzats, que també obren noves vies molt prometedores per a l’evolució de l’economia col·laborativa. Com més important esdevé l’economia col·laborativa, més controvèrsies sorgeixen, i més s’atrau l’interès de les administracions públiques. Tot i així, encara no està clar quin podria ser el paper d’aquestes administracions públiques, quins nexes públics-procomú es podrien establir i quin enfocament de polítiques podria ser el més productiu i beneficiós. En aquest sentit, l’esdeveniment té per objectiu ressaltar la rellevància del model procomú dins l’economia col·laborativa i generar recursos de polítiques públiques i tècnics per la seva escalabilitat. La trobada planteja combinar sessions plenàries amb models participatius de desconferència (unconferences), així com sessions obertes a grups de treball per aconseguir els resultats previstos. Els participants tindran l’oportunitat de suggerir activitats. Antecedents L’esdeveniment representa el seguiment del workshop FLOSS4P2P<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>, organitzat pel projecte europeu P2Pvalue<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/>, aquest cop amb l’ampliació a l’àmbit de les polítiques públiques. Tanmateix, proporcionarà una oportunitat perquè les persones responsables de les polítiques puguin interactuar amb experts i equips tècnics de FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) per aconseguir una “immersió profunda” en la forma de promoure l’enfocament del procomú per economia col·laborativa per part de les institucions.

DIAGNOSTICO Y DIRECCION Las últimas dos décadas hemos comprobado cómo gracias a Internet han surgido comunidades colaborativas y nuevas posibilidades de utilizar recursos comunes. La producción procomún está creciendo rápidamente, no sólo en el ámbito del software (con software libre y abierto) y del conocimiento (enciclopedias como Viquipèdia), sinó también para obtener información (OpenStreetMap, Wikihow), hardware (FabLabs, Open Source Ecology), alojamiento (Couchsurfing) o divisas (monedas locales). Más recientemente, también hemos asistido a la aparición y al crecimiento de modelos híbridos que presentan lógicas de organización similares, basadas en principios de colaboración, pero privatizando otros. Es el caso de la producción entre iguales de base corporativista como Uber o Airbnb. ¿Pero son estos realmente casos de economía colaborativa? El problema abre una serie de debates sobre cómo conservar el procomún y la dimensión de transformación social en la economía colaborativa a través del reconocimiento de los valores propios de estos modos de producción, más allá de los enfoques de valor que se centran en la obtención de ingresos, y las nuevas formas de cooperativismo abierto, entre iguales y en plataformas. Aún así, el debate público se centra principalmente en las controversias alrededor de grandes corporaciones que irrumpen en la economía colaborativa. Así, la opinión pública está mayoritariamente al corriente de la producción entre iguales a través de estas pocas grandes corporaciones. Por ese motivo hay una creciente necesidad de organizar y aumentar la visibilidad del procomún y de su modelo de orientación social, y de definir qué criterios son los que caracterizan una economía o empresa como “colaborativa”. Además, recientes adelantos como las tecnologías emergentes blockchain, han abierto nuevas vías de producción, gestión y distribución procomún a través de modelos de gobernanza más descentralizados, que también abren nuevas vías muy prometedoras para la evolución de la economía colaborativa. Cuanto más importante deviene la economía colaborativa, más controversias surgen, atrayendo el interés de las administraciones públicas. Aún así, todavía no está claro cuál podría ser el papel de estas administraciones públicas, qué partenariados públicos-procomún se podrían establecer y qué enfoque de políticas podría ser el más productivo y beneficioso. El evento tiene por objetivo resaltar la relevancia del modelo procomún dentro de la economía colaborativa, y crear recursos de políticas públicas y tecnicos para apoyar su escalabilidad. El encuentro se plantea combinar sesiones plenarias con modelos participativos tipo “unconference”, así como sesiones abiertas a grupos de trabajo para conseguir los resultados previstos. Los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de sugerir actividades. Antecedentes El evento representa la continuación del workshop FLOSS4P2P<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/floss4p2p-workshop-agenda>,organizado por el proyecto europeo P2Pvalue<http://www.p2pvalue.eu/>, esta vez con la ampliación al ámbito de las políticas públicas. Además, proporcionará una oportunidad para que personas responsables de las políticas puedan interactuar con expertos y equipos técnicos de Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) para conseguir una “inmersión profunda” en la forma de promover el enfoque del procomún de la economía colaborativa por parte de las instituciones. TEMAS Políticas * Buenas prácticas y recomendaciones para políticas que fomenten la producción procomún y la economía colaborativa * Ciudades y procomún * Valor y procomún Áreas de economía colaborativa * Conocimiento abierto * Procomunes industriales y diseño abierto * Digital DIY * Internet de las cosas * Hardware open source * Cooperativismo entre iguales * Economía colaborativa y feminismo * Economía circular Tecnología * Tecnologías descentralizadas y blockchain * Plataformas Free and Open Source Software (FLOSS) para la economía colaborativa * Propuestas FLOSS para la promoción de la participación de las comunidades, el crecimiento y la resiliencia (por ejemplo arquitecturas, modelos de recompensas, etc) * Metodologías para integrar actores implicados en el desarrollo de plataformas colaborativas (Design Thinking, Agile, Lean) * Alternativas FLOSS para soluciones cerradas (o “walled gardens”), con un enfoque en la descentralización -- «·´`·.(*·.¸(`·.¸ ¸.·´)¸.·*).·´`·» «·´¨*·¸¸« Mayo Fuster Morell ».¸.·*¨`·» @Lilaroja «·´`·.(¸.·´(¸.·* *·.¸)`·.¸).·´`·» Faculty Affiliated.

CFP: DIGITAL FABRICATIONS AMONGST HACKERS, MAKERS AND MANUFACTURERS: WHOSE ‘INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION’? (4S Barcelona)
by maxigas 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

CFP: DIGITAL FABRICATIONS AMONGST HACKERS, MAKERS AND MANUFACTURERS: WHOSE ‘INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION’? (4S Barcelona) We invite abstracts for a track we are organising on the theme of digital fabrications amongst hackers, makers and manufacturers, and which will take place in Barcelona over August 31 to September 3 as part of the international conference of the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). Abstracts can be submitted at this link: http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst_4s2016/panels.php5?PanelID=3870 More details below. Thanks, Johan Söderberg, Maxigas, Adrian Smith * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Our track brings critical analysis to the plurality of collectives, spaces and futures that are assembling around increasingly accessible digital design and fabrication technologies. Computer integrated tools hold particular historical ironies and contradictions: early introduction threatened skills, livelihoods and identities amongst manufacturing communities – while they are celebrated today as enabling agency, identities and communities for makers. Both processes has been promoted as ’Industrial Revolutions’. STS has much to contribute to understanding, engaging and bridging digital fabrications. Conversely, apparent historical turnarounds in digital fabrication, with tools spilling into new collectives and spaces, offers an opportunity to interrogate STS theory and methodology. Fifty years ago, social ecologist Murray Bookchin, like other commentators welcomed a future in which collectives would own tools and organise production non-hierarchically around ‘liberatory technologies’. Does grassroots appropriation of digital fabrication in hackerspaces, makerspaces and amongst user groups online, mean his future for egalitarian tool-based creativity arrived? Or do digital fabrication futures reinforce the automation, flexible specialisation, and globalised outsourcing documented by David Noble in the 1980s, and that has been a driver for the technology amongst manufacturing strategists since then? How do the collectives and spaces pursuing these different futures intersect, contest, and co-exist? In analysing digital fabrications, we are particularly interested in the critical voices posing unsettling questions: * Who controls the platforms underpinning these activities and their connections, and how does this influence the spaces for peer production, and the terms for private appropriation? * What senses of humanity are invigorated, and which excluded, from the political imaginaries, utopias, dystopias, and ideologies embodied in digital fabrication technologies? * How does the materiality of digital fabrications connect to the values of sustainable developments? * Where does the figure of the hacker – forever opening-up technologies – lurk in these collectives and spaces; and what has hacker culture mobilised and been appropriated by these collectives? * When and where will future industrial conflicts arise: what are the political and economic relations at stake between these collectives, spaces and futures? We welcome papers that provide critical reviews, original empirical study, and theoretical development relevant to digital fabrications. -- maxigas, kiberpunk FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 http://research.metatron.ai/ In Solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-hub http://custodians.online Share this letter - read it in public - leave it in the printer.
