[p2p-research] Special Issue on Citizen's Media

[Michel Bauwens]

There is a special issue on citizen's media and communication in the
journal, *Development in Practice*, vol.19, issue 4 & 5, with articles by
juan salazar, alfonso dagron, dorothy kidd, jo tacchi, and many others. Very
interesting issue, exploring lot of the big issues about which all of us
have been concerned. Right now it's free to download.

=================================

Ubiprojection 2010, the 1st workshop on personal projection via mobile and
wearable pico projectors.

http://eis.comp.lancs.ac.uk/workshops/ubiproject2010/


Welcome to Ubiprojection 2010, the 1st workshop on personal
projection via mobile and wearable pico projectors. The main goal of
the workshop is to develop an understanding of how mobile and wearable
pico projectors could be combined with new user interfaces, interaction
techniques and applications. We seek for new ideas, prototypes, and
insights as a basis to develop a deeper understanding of the field.
In
addition, we will provide an open forum to share information, results,
and ideas on current research in this area. This workshop encourages
discussion about future topics concerning personal projection.
Furthermore, we aim to develop new ideas on how such devices can be
exploited for new forms of interaction with the environment.
We will bring together researchers and practitioners who are
concerned with design, development, and implementation of new
applications and services using personal mobile and wearable projectors
in their user interfaces. Moreover, the workshop aims at conveying
hands-on experience with current state-of-the-art technology and
prototypes through demonstration sessions.
The workshop will be held in Helsinki, Finland on 17 May 2010 in conjunction
with Pervasive 2010.
====================
All the best for 2010 to all!

 This looks like a very valuable resource on community media and not
incidentally allows for free downloads to May 2010. Also, I should stay it
indicates the value added provided by a commercial publication... (the
design of the site, the additional features provided with the individual
articles etc.etc.

The problem is that the cost to the end user for such publications under
normal circumstances is such as to be prohibitive for virtually all in the
developing world and increasingly many in the Developed World.

As the Editor/publisher of a parallel journal it would be great to be able
to do 8 issues a year, have a professional looking and feature rich website,
have professional editing and proofreading etc...

I'm not sure of an easy way out of this dilemma but the major research
funders and users should be trying to figure out what to do since neither of
the alternatives -- voluntary publishing open archive, vs. prohibitively
expensive for-profit is sustainable over the longer term.
