<div dir="ltr">Dear friends and colleagues,<br><br>I'm writing to inform you about the 'development status' of the JoPP special issue on the FLOK policy proposals. According to our original time-plan, the FLOK policy papers, which were the epicentre of the 'Buen Conocer summit' that we organised in Quito at the end of May, were to be revised and submitted to JoPP by June 31. However, the scope of the revisions turned out to be much larger than was originally anticipated. As a result, about half of the papers are still being revised. And so, Vasilis and I decided it would make sense to extend the deadline for the submission of manuscripts to Sep. 30. Consequently, the time-planning of the issue would have to be modified as follows:<br>
<br>- deadline for the submission of papers: Sep 30 (was June 30)<br>- end of peer review process: Nov. 30 (was Aug 30)<br>- submission of revised papers: Dec. 30 (was Oct 30)<br>- issue goes live on the web: Feb 2015 (was Dec. 2014)<br>
<br>We're hoping this 'deviation' does not conflict with the planning of other JoPP issues. So, please let us know if you have any objections to the above time-plan. <br><br>On a related note, we're looking for reviewers, so it'd be great if list members could help. The list of papers is as follows: <br>
<br>1. open educational resources<br>2. open science<br>3. open/free culture<br>4. biodiversity<br>5. sustainable agriculture<br>6. open, distributed manufacturing<br>7. distributed energy<br>8. public policy for a partner state<br>
9. public policy for a social economy<br>10. social knowledge and the social economy<br>11. ICT & open government<br>12. free hardware<br>13. free software<br>14. connectivity<br>15. Ancestral knowledge<br>16. Territorial organisation of the knowledge economy<br>
<br>So, if you're interested in reviewing any of the above papers, please drop me a line. <br><br>Best,<br>-G.<br></div>
