Rishab sez, "First Monday is entirely volunteer run and perhaps the oldest and
most widely read academic peer reviewed journal online (400 000+
papers downloaded monthly). May 2006 will see 10 years of First
Monday. So we are planning a special issue and conference." The call for proposals looks like it's worth a serious look:
We invite papers for the conference and for a very special issue of First Monday. These papers will be reviewed by a special conference editorial committee. Authors of selected papers will be invited to the conference, scheduled to take place in Chicago in May 2006. Other selected papers will be published in a special issue of First Monday, to appear in June 2006.
Papers should address the issues involved in building sustainable models for openness in science, software and content. They can examine technical, sociological, economic/business and legal issues, and can be conceptual or practical in nature. Case studies by practitioners are welcome.
(Thanks, Rishab!)
