Hi Mathieu, All Brilliant, thanks! I am really turned on by the thought of doing a special issue on the open access movement <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access>, and particularly open access academic publishing.
From April 2013 this is supposed to be what is enforced throughout UK academia and I think it is important, as a journal of peer production to get into this discussion asap.
Some articles to show you some of what is being discussed in the UK: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jun/19/open-access-academic-publishin... Finch report and transition to open access http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=417266 Research intensive institutions will be disadvantage others will get free ride This has been discussed in academic terms in a more popularised manner roughly since 2003-4 I believe and it has intensified greatly throughout 2011-12. Obviously this is not my area of expertise education and academic publishing, but looking into media movements and sociopolitical change is. So if anyone out there is interested to form an special editorial group and go for it, I think it d be a great contribution to a discussion currently taking place and JoPP would benefit form getting involved in it. I would like this to be done rather slow in the next couple of years and take in some of the first reactions, problems and ideological conflicts in the UK and elsewhere. The goal would be to publish in the first part of 2016. I also think that JoPP could initiate a conference on this to get best contributors in the area.

Hi all
It has been a while since we discussed future issues and content. To sum up where we are:
FLOSS (F/OSS?) special issue Maurizio and Vincenzo are on schedule Release date: June 2013/July 2013 Debate: yes, they have some people lined up though not sure how advanced this is @Maurizio and Vincenzo: any updates most welcome Interviews: looking for suggestions. @Maurizio and Vincenzo: I have an idea. I attended an "open source" conference a while ago and there was a lawyer for the FSF there who does copyleft enforcement - if copyleft is threatened he sues or threatens to sue. I see this as a good example of someone concretely extending the (digital) commons. If you think this is a good idea we could organise an email interview.
Value/Currency special issue Francesca recently joined Nate and Nicolás Mendoza to coordinate. They are aiming to release a CFP before the end of the year, which they will circulate on this list for comments. Release date: December 2013/January 2014 Comments/debate:? Interviews:?
Other Special issues:
Johan has been in touch with some Swedish people who are interested in doing a special issue on piracy Possible release date: June 2014/July 2014? Comments/debate:? Interview:?
Organisation special issue, coordinated by Dariusz, Mayo, and Mathieu No progress on CFP - I guess I'm happy that others are leading the way Possible release date: December 2014/January 2015? Comments/debate:? Interview:?
Other special issues:?
If anyone has any ideas for debates and interviews (not necessarily related to content of special issue) please let it be known. It really is quite open...
There is still the surveys.peerproduction site to link to and interview. Could fit into the FLOSS issue maybe?
Re.the hackerspace documentation subproject, no-one on this list has expressed interest so far and since I can't take the lead for the moment it appears to be on hold. @Clément: it will happen eventually, not right now I guess.
That's all I can think of,
cheers
Mathieu
