Mark: You and your compatriots on P2P view the world from revisionism. Go ahead and keep looking through your microscope-provided by your "teachers." Or take the time and read some very old documented evidence available at a library near you= but you may need to stay there awhile on microfiche. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Janssen Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 4:39 PM To: P2P Foundation mailing list Subject: Re: [P2P-F] Fw: Info On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Natalie Golovin <10natalie(a)cox.net> wrote: > The European Tribes treated the Natives no worse than they treated each > other. Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

Journal of Peer Production: "Open" EOI and CFP for Issue #13
by george dafermos 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

PEER PRODUCTION: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE The Journal of Peer Production (JoPP) is a volunteer-run peer-reviewed journal which has since 2011 both researched and put into practice the principles of peer production, understood as a mode of commons-based and oriented production in which participation is voluntary and predicated on the self-selection of tasks. Notable examples are the collaborative development of Free Software projects and of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia. JoPP is an open-access journal that allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute and link to the full texts of articles. Authors license works under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) and retain full copyright in their work. In terms of research, we have published ten landmark issues exploring the interconnection of peer production with activism, political economy, bio and hardware hacking, free software, value and currency, shared machine shops, the law, state policies, feminism and queer issues, alternative infrastructures, and waged labour. We will publish our eleventh issue on peer production and urbanism in January 2018 and our twelfth on the institutionalisation of shared machine shops in May 2018. In terms of practice, we have debated policy decisions on a public and archived mailing list. We have renovated the scientific peer review system by publishing not only reviews of papers, but also – in order to fully appreciate the impact of reviews – original submissions of articles. We have launched a “signalling” system so that imperfect articles can be published rapidly, whilst maintaining the standards and reputation of the journal. *Having defined the field of peer production studies and put into practice peer production principles, we now seek to foster new avenues and partnerships.* We are calling this new phase in the development of the Journal of Peer Production “OPEN”. At the root of “OPEN” is the fact that we now live in an era where exclusion and inequality are being justified by overtly racist, even fascist, ideas. It is therefore more important than ever for progressives to develop viable alternatives to plutocracy and environmental destruction which highlight peer values such as inclusion and openness. *There are two parts to JoPP “OPEN”: “OPEN” EOI and “OPEN” CFP.* JOPP: “OPEN” EOI *We are calling for “OPEN” editorial Expressions of Interest from people wanting to develop their own take on peer production.* This means we are offering our website and network of reviewers for the production and dissemination of activist or scientific interventions in the field of peer production. We are open to accounts of projects, to explorations of special interests, to analysis of the “infrastructures of the commons” (universal income systems, cooperatives and unions, free public services), etc. We are particularly interested in initiatives that would disseminate peer production knowledge and values to audiences beyond the academic and activist communities. Please write to the JoPP general public list <jopp-public AT lists.ourproject.org> with your ideas or if you prefer to discuss them in confidence please contact the private JoPP editorial team mailing list <jopp-editorial AT lists.ourproject.org>. We look forward to hearing from you! JOPP: “OPEN” CFP ISSUE #13 *We are also announcing a Call for Papers for issue #13 of the Journal of Peer Production on the theme of “OPEN”.* This means that contributions can explore any aspect of peer production. Please refer to past issues for examples and to our style guidelines <http://peerproduction.net/about/submissions/> for guidance on the type of contributions we accept. Important dates: 500-word abstracts 15th January 2018 Acceptance of papers 15th February 2018 Full papers due 30th June 2018 Reviews due and sent to authors 30th August 2018 Revised papers due 30th October 2018 Signals due 30th December 2018 Issue released 31st January 2019 Submission guidelines *Extended paper abstracts *of up to 500 words *are due 15 January, 2018. *Peer reviewed papers should be no more than 8,000 words. These should be sent directly to the editors. All peer reviewed papers will be reviewed according to Journal of Peer Production guidelines. See http://peerproduction.net/peer-review/process/ for details. *Full papers for peer review *will be due by *30th June, 2018.* Editors For more information and feedback on proposed contributions please contact the issue editors: Mathieu O’Neil | http://bit.ly/2A7JgAV | <mathieu.oneil AT canberra.edu.au> Steve Collins | http://bit.ly/2xNhOmV <http://bit.ly/2xNhOmV>| <stephen.collins AT mq.edu.au>

first draft of: The Evolution of Research at the P2P Foundation
by Michel Bauwens 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

(for responses: only use the reply address of the list you belong to, thanks) dear all, I have just written a first draft note on how I see the research focus on the P2P Foundation evolving. Comments are very welcome: Michel Bauwens: Is there some kind of emerging logic in the research of the P2P Foundation, I believe that, with hindsight, there is, and here is my attempt to summarize these insights of where we have been, where we are, and where we may be going. The first phase was an investigation of past historical transitions and the particular dialectic that we believe we can see between the prefigurative construction of seed forms, the interconnection of them in subsystems, and the 'coming to fruition' of the new social norms after major social and political conflicts. This is roughly a phase I would place in the period 2003-2006, before the creation of our online presence. In the second phase, we focused on peer to peer dynamics and the creation of contemporary commons, mostly by observing the 'three-in-one' institutional dynamics of digital commons and their surrounding economies. I would say this is roughly the period 2007-2010. Thus emerged a need for more deep investigation which focused on the creation of ethical livelihoods and especially the interaction between the commons and the market; how to avoid extractive relations and create market forms that are commons-compatible and commons-friendly, which culiminated in quite specific ideas on commons-market institutional design. Roughly the period 2010-2014. It was expressed succinctly in our study Value in the Commons Economy. 2014 was the year of an important pivot in our work as we were asked to examine the transition of the nation-state of Ecuador towards a social knowledge economy. Invited by three institutions, we focused on how to create shared knowledge commons for each domain of social and economic life, and what the material and immaterial conditions were for their realization. What we could not do for lack of mandate and means, was looking at actual material commons. But this is exactly what we did in Ghent in the spring of 2017, which was a investigation focusing on the very material urban commons that are growing exponentially in European cities, and are building alternatives for the allocation of value in nearly all vital provisioning systems. Our focus both in Ecuador and Ghent has been on institutional design for public-commons cooperation. This is roughly the period, 2014-2017. I think that with the combination of our insights in commons-market and commons-public institutional design, we have a handle on the emerging forms of cooperation between these three vital domains of economic, social and political life, i.e. the civil society of commoners, the ethical entredonneurial market coalitions, and the enabling and facilitating partner state. But note that these material commons allocate already produced resources, they are not yet making them. So a parallel tracked was developed around DGML (Design Global, Manufacture Local), also called cosmo-local production, with the help of our substantial P2P Lab and other researchers like Jose Ramos in Melbourne. This parallel track on the conditions for sustainable commons-oriented physical production brings us naturally to our next phase of research, which is symbolized by our publication, the Thermo-Dynamic Efficiencies of Peer Production, written by Celine Piques and Xavier Rizos, which looks at the underlying bio-physical conditions and capacities. How can the social construct of the political economy of the commons, know the limits of its resource base, is a key research area for the next few years, and we are working with experts such as James Quilligan and Sharon Ede (AUDAcities) to help us progress on that front. The above description does not exhaust our interests. For example, we have been struggling quite a bit on the intersection between the commons and the care economy, and the inherent gender inequality of a dominant system which doesn't recognize vital care as valued contributions, and therefore how to imagine solidarity and welfare systems that can cover the risks of all contributions. For the next three years, I will work with SMart, the fast growing European cooperative and mutualist labour mutual, which has developed working solutions for precarious autonomous workers, by creating salaries with welfare benefits. An important line of investigation for myself will be looking at the welfare systems of tomorrow, i.e. those that are no longer tigthly linked to salaried jobs that require the subordination through labour contracts, but also build rights and benefits around contributions, this includes life-long learning, engagement with care, but also contributions to nonprofit activities and the commons. Will this also include a universal basic income requirement, is one of the possibilities we need to investigate ... So imagine three circles representing the three major societal institutions, but under it, the ecological and social requirements that we all need to make such a system work. I feel we have a good handle on the superstructure, but a lot more work needs to be done on these underlying requirements. https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Evolution_of_Research_at_the_P2P_Foundation -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/

This special issue aims at bringing together critical, interpretive and theory-driven papers that go beyond the often repeated, but largely a-historical, a-practical, and a-theoretical, claims that the Circular Economy will help organizations solve 21st century problems. There is, for example, a rich history of economic and social practices (think of the frugality of survival practices during various wars) that could be seen as precursors of the Circular Economy, and one might ask: If such practices have been around for some time, why have they not been able to address the questions the Circular Economy aims to answer? Likewise, the Circular Economy has a lot to say about materials and their flows, but very little about humans and the social dimension of circular activities….” (via Discard Studies) http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/bes/gsco-si-circular- econ-3q2017?utm_source=CPB&utm_medium=cms&utm_campaign=JMI02339 <https://www.loomio.org/ahoy/messages/iO9764YCiV7zH825EsDJ2mAmSc36HQv4/click…> — Reply to this email directly or view it on Loomio <https://www.loomio.org/ahoy/messages/iO9764YCiV7zH825EsDJ2mAmSc36HQv4/click…>.
