-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
some of you have probably already noticed this via fb or rss, I am writing a new book on, working title, "The Rise of the Network Commons". It returns to the topos of the wireless commons on which I worked during the early 2000s. In this new version, combining original research from my German book Freie Netze (2004) and new research conducted in the context of the EU funded project Confine, the exciting world of wireless community network projects such as Guifi.net and Freifunk, gets interspersed with philosophical reflections on the relationship between technology, art, politics and history. In chapters yet to come, I want to treat this topic more internationally, thus interested to learn about projects from all over the world. Currently, I am preparing the next chapter on "social technologies" starting with firmware hack of OpenWrt in 2003 aftre GPL violation. What interest me in particular is the relationship between development of a technology and its usage, follwoing notions such as participatory design and social technologies ... again, grateful for any useful hints, experiences, stories Here is the work in progress http://thenextlayer.org/NetworkCommons Even if a chapter is already written, it does not mean that it has achieved stable form. I am happy to accomodate input on all aspects of the project. Publishing early draft texts is part of my chosen methodology in this case looking forward to hearing from you best Armin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUU2+6AAoJELVKgddlPDStxBMH+wcYlVXwzUCBoGotPuR81vdh fz6O41578Z6VVaKMAmqboy4kFkbx+X4Afh3UxOw/LvTZSmhoZTn8oT4+PDRw/Er6 rQ1xIvjdksLbtt9qhzGCzzZ850ib1mDi1JHyjADpeUv4iG9hf2L4KsztlFNGz3xO x/a3WyOgZAEDR9rBDZXlUiS/KirOed/a7McYLoeNTwJlMt8M/Fy28WVo9fnpXG7e kwJUJSQVFy6woq3ZtiLF8/dIcZCuSWU9ct7uUpND/4X/+p54zvrk37xHBsbrJpuD iObo8xp9p4V73TBDSYAMOVNHNpi6uGmDX8btNcL52pNkTSA/efKLB1uZQ5gNS6o= =38l6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
