[A2k] Daryl Hepting: Free Knowledge book -- call for participation

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
Hello;

I am putting together a book based on "Free Knowledge" event
held at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada in
November, 2005.  Although the book will certainly have a
Saskatchewan flavour, I am also seeking contributions from
outside of Saskatchewan.

I would also be very grateful if you would consider forwarding this
call to those who you think might be interested in participating.

I also have a blog about this project at:

All the best,
Daryl Hepting

Spread the Word: Essays Wanted
Free Knowledge Book

The increasing privatization of knowledge is changing our society
in important ways, but for the benefit of very few.

Of interest are essays that deal with current challenges,
and promising alternatives, in specific sectors such as (but not
limited to) farming and food, computer software, medicine, media,
arts, and libraries. Essays dealing with, for example, traditional
knowledge, economics, or the historical context of this issue are
also welcome.

The essays are being collected for a volume inspired by the
=93Free Knowledge=94 event held at the University of Regina on
November 17 and 18, 2005.  Contributions need not be
Saskatchewan-specific.  The finished manuscript will be available
on the web, through a creative commons license, and it is also
hoped to have it published in print.

Interested authors should contact Daryl Hepting, c/o Department of
Computer Science, University of Regina, Regina, SK, S4S 0A2, Canada
(e-mail daryl.hepting@uregina.ca) as soon as possible.  Manuscripts
should be approximately 20 double-spaced pages, not including
references.  One or more external referees will review each
submission.  Authors are invited to make suggestions about suitable
referees.  Deadline for manuscripts is September 1, 2008, with an
expected publication date in the Fall of 2009.
