Hi Michel<br><br>Yeah, sometimes things take longer than you'd like - that's the problem with volunteer projects I guess. We are currently finalising some long research papers; we have two conference reports ready to go; when the research papers are done - hopefully no more than a month now - we will release all this at once and issue a final CFP. <br><br>I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve by this post - "shaking things up" maybe? Obviously you should do what you feel but from my perspective it would be more useful to hold off until we launch officially and then re-publish on the P2P blog the ANT papers - something I suggested to you back in January, if you remember.<br><br>All other content is for the moment on the restricted part of our site - you should normally have an account which enables you to check it out.<br><br>cheers,<br><br>Mathieu<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: Michel Bauwens <michelsub2004@gmail.com><br>Date: Thursday, March 17, 2011 9:29 am<br>Subject: CSPP, where is this project going?<br>To: p2p-foundation <p2p-foundation@lists.ourproject.org><br>Cc: Mathieu O'Neil <mathieu.oneil@anu.edu.au>, phoebe moore <pvm.doc@gmail.com>, Athina Karatzogianni <athina.k@gmail.com>, nathaniel tkacz <nathanieltkacz@gmail.com><br><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>I'm publishing this on the 27th in the p2p blog:<br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><p class="postTitle"><a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=14831" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Critical Studies in Peer

So we sincerely hope that CSPP will finally focus on content, which is so richly available in the p2p research community.</p> <p><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>One interesting item, unfortunately at this time, the only item, is a very interesting debate on Actor-Network-Theory, see <a href="http://cspp.oekonux.org/debate/ant-power" target="1">here</a>.</p><br clear="all"><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>-- <br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>P2P Foundation: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="1">http://p2pfoundation.net</a> - <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net" target="1">http://blog.p2pfoundation.net</a> <br> <font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>Connect: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.ning.com" target="1">http://p2pfoundation.ning.com</a>; Discuss: <a href="http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation" target="1">http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation</a><br> <font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font>Updates: <a href="http://del.icio.us/mbauwens" target="1">http://del.icio.us/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens" target="1">http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://twitter.com/mbauwens" target="1">http://twitter.com/mbauwens</a>; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens" target="1">http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens</a><br> <font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br><font style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(245, 248, 240); font-size: 14px;">> </font><br> <br><br>****<br>Dr Mathieu O'Neil<br>Adjunct Research Fellow<br>Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute<br>College of Arts and Social Science<br>The Australian National University<br>email: mathieu.oneil[at]anu.edu.au<br>web: http://adsri.anu.edu.au/people/visitors/mathieu.php<br><br>
