hi mathieu and cspp peoples,

glad the journal is almost ready!

last month i presented in amsterdam at the economies of the 
commons 2.
it was partly organised by geert's INC, but had other partners as
well. some of the material covered is very relevant for cspp and it
might be worth approaching some of the organisers (perhaps eric
kluitenberg at de balie or morgan currie from inc) to see if 
they are
interested in doing one of those conference reports.

CHRISTMAS MEMO
 Hi all
 After a period of quiet it is time for an update, as always 
please comment on any issue.
 Thanks to StefanMn's work, the website is almost finished, go 
and have a look if you have not done so already 
[http://cspp.oekonux.org/]. The layout is fairly minimal and 
functional, it could be spruiced up later down the track but we 
just wanted to get the basics right (for those who have an 
account, login will enable you to see hidden categories which 
will be added as we incorporate content).
 Regarding our formal / official launch and call for papers. I 
think a good compromise between having a traditional “issue” 
release on one hand and dribbling out an article here and there 
at a time on the other, would be to have at least two items for 
each of our major categories (research, debate, reviews) when we 
launch. Then we could add additional pairs of articles, debate, 
reviews as we go along.
 Following are some suggestions.
 1_Research category (the only one that is peer reviewed)
 1_1 Process
 FWIW, here is an ultra-quick summary of the review process 
which I'm copying from a message I posted yesterday to our tech-
list, I guess a version of this needs to appear at the beginning 
of http://cspp.oekonux.org/journal/peer-review
 [ StefanMn: we should probably explain on the cspp site how 
to join the list as well as how to contact the editor ; I know 
there is a contact form at the top of the page but it would be 
more user-friendly to be able to send email or access the 
contact form from inside the submission and peer review pages – 
we can discuss this on the tech list]
  a-proposal for paper proposed to email list either directly 
by author or through editor
b-list gives feedback
c-full paper formally submitted to editor or posted directly 
to restricted part of site (if the author has access rights)
d-editor posts paper to site if necessary, approaches three 
reviewers> e-reviewers hand in reports
f-editor provides this feedback to author
g-author (accepts or rejects feedback and) re-submits full paper
h-reviewers rate this re-submission
i-author decides whether he/she is happy to publish with these 
ratings> j-article is published/not published
 k-reviewer reports are published/not published (pending 
author/reviewers agreement)
l-if published: audience can comment; author can respond in comments

[still undecided -> we need a way to present the rating system?]
[still undecided -> we also have to determine if we publish 
only as a webpage and/or as pdf?]
 1_2 Submissions
 -StefanMn and StefanMz's submission is ongoing, but I have 
not heard from the authors as to how they wish to approach the 
three reviewer's recommendations.
-Graham Seaman was interested in submitting something but has 
not done so yet.
 -A researcher called Jonas Andersson just finished his Ph. D 
on Swedish file sharing which sounded very interesting, so I 
contacted him and he has agreed to adapt one of his chapters for 
the journal. I will be the editor for this one. Jonas has been 
subscribed to this list (bienvenue!).
 @Jonas: Please make use of this list's distributed expertise 
(we have a talented and friendly board and scientific committee, 
check out http://cspp.oekonux.org/journal/people) to obtain 
feedback on your work.
 -To develop this project initially we will have to “put our 
money where our mouths are” and invest our “intellectual 
capital”. A few months ago I mentioned I was intending to submit 
to cspp my submission to the (non-peer reviewed) CPOV reader. 
Well it turns out the CPOV editors thought my submission was not 
suitable (too “general” or perhaps too critical? No matter, CPOV 
people do not need to respond). In any case I am rewriting 
something completely different on authority for that Reader. I 
still have my original submission, “The sociology of critique in 
Wikipedia” and I still want to submit it to this journal. So, 
that is what I'm doing here. The only problem is this paper is 
in the CPOV style (full footnotes + full bibliography) not our 
chosen Harvard and I dont have time to fix it right now so I'm 
using my editor *magick dust* to say that this will be fixed 
later. The paper is available for download on my Australian 
academic homepage:

 http://adsri.anu.edu.au/people/visitors/ONeil/ONeil_Sociology%20of%20Critique_Draft.pdf>  This should only be up till the end of December as a completely different text will have to replace it then.
 Athina was OK to drive this paper forward as associate 
editor, if she is still OK, great (it will be a nice break from 
Wikileaks?)>  @Athina: please let me know, if OK I will email 
you privately some suggestions for reviewers and you can take it 
from there.
 -Anyone else who feels like contributing relevant and 
original material please contact me or post a proposal to the list,
 2) Debate
 - The debate about ANT/Foucault, Hegelianism, and sociology 
between Johan Soderberg, Nate Tkacz and me has been ready for 
months (sorry for the delay Nate!). It is pretty much ready to go.
 - I read some interesting posts on the P2P research list by 
Martin Pedersen who was critical of some aspects of immaterial 
peer production. Michel Bauwens responded quite strongly so I 
thought that could be the basis for a good debate. Martin agreed 
to do this, Michel will provide a basis for response, others 
could jump in to and after a private email discussion we agreed 
that this exchange could later be republished on the PP 
foundation weblog. Martin has been subscribed to the list, 
welcome aboard also!
 @Martin and Michel: Debate articles are not peer reviewed so 
it is up to you whether you would like to use the list to get 
feedback or not.
 3) Reports
 - The Amsterdam CPOV report by Nate and Johana Nyesito has 
been ready for months too; a few tweaks and it will be finalised 
(sorry Nate and Johanna!)
 - I contacted one of the organiser of the Berlin Free culture 
conference in November (Leonhard Dobusch) and he has agreed to 
do a report also.
 I am hoping all these strands can be finalised over the next 
few weeks (hmm) so as to launch formally in late January.
 Any other suggestions welcome,
 cheers,
 Mathieu
 ps. Like many of you I suppose I have been following the 
efforts to shut down Wikileaks and the response of the (mainly 
Western) “free Internet”. When added to the ever-spreading 
Facebook identity-authentication tentacles, these control 
efforts raise some serious concerns about the direction of the 
network...>  I agree with the conclusion of 
http://cryptome.org/0003/wikileaks-six.htm which is also 
reframed by http://www.hastac.org/blogs/nknouf/wikileaks-
broadcast-internet-and-importance-new-media-assemblages
 Of course, apart from agreeing in principle that more 
attention needs to be paid to safeguarding the physical 
infrastructure, I dont have any precise or concrete ideas as to 
what should be done, and I can only appeal to others' 
suggestions or refer to the ongoing discussion on “alternative 
email infrastructure” on the P2P foundation list...
