Interestingly, however, they also prominently share the core transformations experienced in contemporary capitalism. The convergence of work, labour and other aspects of life -- the rapid development of algorithmically driven technical systems and their intensifying role in social organisation -- the practical and legitimation crisis of institutions, echoed by renewed attempts at self-organisation.

Questioning such myths based on empirical research founded on a rigorous theoretical framework is what a journal such as the Journal of Peer Production can contribute to both academic and activist discourses. Shared machine shops have been around for at least a decade or so, which makes for a good time to evaluate how they live up to their self-professed social missions. Here is an executive summary: * Shared Machine Shops are not new. * Fab Labs are not about technology. * Sharing is not happening. * Hackerspaces are not open. * Technology is not neutral. * Hackerspaces are not solving problems. * Fab Labs are not the seeds of a revolution. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ #=================================+ # T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S | #=================================+ # #-------------------+ # EDITORIAL SECTION | #-------------------+ # # * We Now have the Means of Production, but Where is my Revolution? # by maxigas and Peter Troxler # # * Digitally-Operated Atoms vs. Bits of Rhetoric # by Ursula Gastfall, Thomas Fourmond, Jean-Baptiste Labrune and Peter Troxler # # * Critical Notions of Technology: Promises of Empowerment in Shared Machine Shops # by Susana Nascimento # # * Distributed and Open Creation Platforms as Key Enablers for Smarter Cities # by Tomas Diez # # * Fab Labs Forked: A Grassroots Insurgency inside the Next Industrial Revolution # by Peter Troxler # # * Cultural Stratigraphy: A Rift between Shared Machine Shops # by maxigas # #----------------------+ # PEER REVIEWED PAPERS | #----------------------+ # # * Technology Networks for socially useful production # by Adrian Smith # # * The Story of MIT-Fablab Norway: Community Embedding of Peer Production # by Cindy Kohtala and Camille Bosqué # # * Sharing is Sparing: Open Knowledge Sharing in Fab Labs # by Patricia Wolf, Peter Troxler, Pierre-Yves Kocher, Julie Harboe & Urs Gaudenz # # * Feminist Hackerspaces: The Synthesis of Feminist and Hacker Cultures # by Sophie Toupin # # * Beyond Technological Fundamentalism: Peruvian Hack Labs # and “Inter-technological” Education # by Anita Say Chan [html] [pdf] # # * Becoming Makers: Hackerspace Member Habits, Values, and Identities # by Austin Toombs, Shaowen Bardzell, and Jeffrey Bardzell # # * Shared Machine Shops as Real-life Laboratories # by Sascha Dickel, Jan-Peter Ferdinand, and Ulrich Petschow # # ...

Hi Maxigas (and Peter), Fantastic work! Well worth waiting for. You have already been congratulated on the AIR list. Love your title script and email style... Feels like JoPP is turning into 2600. ;-) A few questions: a) the links from the editorial section page do not work. http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-5-shared-machine-shops/editorial-sect... b) Re the pad, it is not clear to me which have been sent and which have not. Could you please clarify. c) Finally, on the issues page, do we date it as July release? Normally we try to stick to mid-year / end of year release dates for consistency's sake. http://peerproduction.net/issues/ cheers Mathieu Dr Mathieu O'Neil Adjunct Research Fellow ADSRI, CASS, ANU ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of maxigas <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 9:16 To: [email protected] Subject: [JoPP-Public] New issue -- Journal of Peer Production #5: Shared Machine Shops hi, Please spread this to lists, but check on the pad [0] before you send the mail and cross out the list after you posted there.

Hi Maxigas (and Peter),
Fantastic work! Well worth waiting for. You have already been congratulated on the AIR list.
Love your title script and email style... Feels like JoPP is turning into 2600. ;-)
Yes the old school is not dead. Let's make 2015 the year of IRC!
A few questions:
a) the links from the editorial section page do not work. http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-5-shared-machine-shops/editorial-sect...
b) Re the pad, it is not clear to me which have been sent and which have not. Could you please clarify.
c) Finally, on the issues page, do we date it as July release? Normally we try to stick to mid-year / end of year release dates for consistency's sake. http://peerproduction.net/issues/
Good finds -- thanks for looking -- I am making the corrections now! -- maxigas, kiberpunk FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 http://research.metatron.ai/ People the switches!

fixed.
b) Re the pad, it is not clear to me which have been sent and which have not. Could you please clarify.
the ones which have an "x" in the checkbox. like this: [ ] -> email list where the press release should be sent asap [x] -> email list where the press release was already sent
c) Finally, on the issues page, do we date it as July release? Normally we try to stick to mid-year / end of year release dates for consistency's sake. http://peerproduction.net/issues/
i am not sure what you want to have on that page but i've put October 2014 (same as on this other page: http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-5-shared-machine-shops/). -- maxigas, kiberpunk FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 http://research.metatron.ai/ People the switches!
Hi Maxigas c) Finally, on the issues page, do we date it as July release? Normally we try to stick to mid-year / end of year release dates for consistency's sake.
i am not sure what you want to have on that page but i've put October 2014 (same as on this other page: http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-5-shared-machine-shops/). => what do others think? Do we forget about having set release dates (either Dec/Jan or June/July) or do we impose our will? ;-) cheers Mathieu ________________________________________ From: maxigas <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 11:56 To: [email protected]; Mathieu ONeil Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] New issue -- Journal of Peer Production #5: Shared Machine Shops From: Mathieu ONeil <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] New issue -- Journal of Peer Production #5: Shared Machine Shops Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:52:10 +0000

Hi Johan, maxigas For all those who could not be there, it would be great if you could let us know how the conference, JoPP panels, journal launch party, etc, went/are going? cheers Mathieu
Without doubt, the journal party was a big success! And Johan's idea to offer free cocktails was especially appreciated by everyone at the conference :) x On Sat, Nov 1, 2014 at 2:30 AM, Mathieu ONeil <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi George Wish I was there! Miss you guys - weird to think we met _five years ago_ at ox/Manchester... I'm very proud of the work (not mine!) that was done for this last issue, I think it is a unique mix (this does not mean that I did not also appreciate the previous one ;-)) ?Once the dust has settled we should take the time to list the innovations the editors introduced - executive summary, email banner etc - as they add a nice flavour to the release. cheers, Mathieu ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of george dafermos <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 1, 2014 21:54 To: Journal of Peer Production's general and public list Subject: Re: [JoPP-Public] FSCONS: how goes it Without doubt, the journal party was a big success!
