Hi Panos, all Sounds good to me (but others may have other ideas). cheers Mathieu ________________________________ From: JoPP-Public <[email protected]> on behalf of panayotis antoniadis <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2018 20:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] Future of Journal of Peer Production (JoPP): the end of the line? A refined, combined, idea: Issue #14 could be an open-ended "collective" issue, whose articles are edited by the JoPP community as a whole, indeed peer produced :-) They could include text from previous work, but "remixed" with the new collective text like what George Perec did in his "Life: a user manual", and also The residents with their music. There could be one new article every year or something, following a simple structure or narrative. It could be something around what needs to be done in this moment of crisis and urgency ...

Hi Panos
I like it, though in my mind "OPEN" is taking shape as a war machine against the academic paywalls of the world so needs to pack a punch and have a clear shape. Then again it could indeed have a future-facing section which keeps growing. Or #14 could be the issue that keeps growing...? NO NAME?
As for the other idea, sure, I very much agree that we need to do more outreach, via shorter texts, or slogans, posters, etc. Hopefully these ideas will coalesce more when we finalise the ideas around OA/OPEN.
cheers
Mathieu

Hi all,
Two quick ideas that came to my mind while watching a documentary on "The residents", titled "Theory of obscurity", toward moving to more "experimental" grounds and questioning the whole academic publishing system at its roots.
First, I would reject the need for regular finalized issues, but would like to see a publication that is "slow" and incremental. In that sense why not treat the "Open" issue as truly open and keep adding articles to it over time? This could keep the journal going on for very long, and without stress :-)
Second, and more ambitiously, I think it would be interesting to produce a whole "anonymous" issue, without naming the editors nor the authors and without any references in the articles. Just "pure ideas". "Us" who have more or less access to the "gated" world of knowledge, could we summarize (a small part of) what is interesting to know without taking ownership of the ideas, and without requiring from something to have read 100 books to understand a single sentence?
I could write more about both ideas, but for now I just throw them to you in case they could be transformed to something interesting :-)
Best,
Panos.
