[JoPP-Public] News and Issues

Tue Nov 18 17:02:23 CET 2014

Hi Mathieu,

I don't know exactly what should I do to propose a new topic for the
journal, but after reading your mail I would like to send you an idea: a
new number about money, that is to say, about alternative currencies,
crytocurrencies, digital currencies... and the communities that grow around
them. I am very interested in this topic and although Geert Lovink and the
Institute of Network Cultures are working on it, I think is worthy enough
to deserve more different approaches and researches.

Also I would like to know more about the number on feminism from the p2p
perspective. Maybe I can collaborate in this specific topic.

Congratulation for a work well done!

Best Regards,
pz
