Caros,
estava pensando hoje de manhã em organizar um encontro para discutir
ciência aberta entre acadêmicos, estudantes e interessados. Vi o
encontro abaixo dos franceses para celebrar o dia do domínio público,
então pensei em incluir no tema. Estava pensando algo para meados de
fevereiro ou final. O ideia principal do encontro é promover o
conhecimento livre nas universidades e o que podemos fazer de concreto
para ampliar o acesso ao conhecimento. Vou elaborar melhor depois, mas
é um ponta pé inicial.
Alguém se anima em ajudar? Ideias?
Tom

*Important dates:*
Proposals Submission Due: January 31, 2013
Full Chapters Due: March 15, 2013
Final Submission Due: July 1, 2013
*Editors (to whom chapters should be sent and questions addressed):

Hara (nhara at indiana.edu <mailto:nhara at indiana.edu>) Indiana
University, Bloomington.
*Introduction:*
Wikipedia offers articles in 285 languages and more than 80% of
Wikipedia articles are written in languages other than English. In
addition, the English Wikipedia itself attracts users from all over the
world. This global nature of Wikipedia provides a rich socio-technical
environment to examine a wide range of international and cross-cultural
issues. Despite the global reach of Wikipedia, most of the published
works about Wikipedia are based on the English site. More research
should pay attention to the global, multilingual nature of Wikipedia to
gain a better understanding of online international cooperation, on one
hand, and of cross-cultural variations in mass knowledge production
processes and outcomes, on the other. The purpose of this book is to
explore a wide range of international and cross-cultural issues as they
are manifested on Wikipedia. We are particularly interested in research
that takes a socio-technical perspective on the global Wikipedia and
integrates social theory to explain online interactions. For example, we
invite studies on online global collaboration, coordination, and
conflict management in this rich socio-technical environment. We hope
that these works will highlight implications for other socio-technical
environments or extend the use and development of social theory. This
unique publication aims to be a collection of international and
cross-cultural research on the Wikipedia.We expect that this edited
volume will appeal to academic researchers, graduate, and undergraduate
students interested in Wikipedia and, more broadly, in social studies of
information and communication technologies, as well as to Wikipedia
contributors.
*Recommended topics*:
We are seeking chapters that include both empirical and conceptual work
and soliciting innovative analysis of international and cross-cultural
aspects of Wikipedia to be part of this book.
Appropriate topics for chapters include (but are not limited to) the
following list:
·Case studies of Wikipedia in one of the 285 languages, with special
interest in small and medium size Wikipedias; for example, focusing on
policies, processes, interactions or information quality
·Conflict and collaboration in editing international entries on any
particular language of Wikipedia
·International and cross-cultural collaboration; for example,
international cooperation in fighting vandalism
·Intercultural synergy across boundaries on Wikipedia or Wikimedia projects
·Cross-cultural studies that compare more than one Wikipedia, for
example, focusing on:
·Cross-cultural comparisons of content, structures, and contributions
·Comparative studies of policies, interactions, and processes
·Efforts to understand similarities and differences across Wikipedia in
multiple languages in user motivations, establishment and maintenance of
local communities and challenges
·Comparative analysis of editing policies around the globe
·Information quality across two or more Wikipedia languages
·Comparison of scope and representation of topics across Wikipedia in
several languages
·Vandalism and trolling behaviors across national and language boundaries
Chapters are expected to have between 4000 and 5000 words (excluding
references, figures, and tables). Only original work whose copyright is
owned (or cleared) by the chapter authors and not considered for
publication elsewhere can be considered for inclusion.
*Important dates*:
*January 31, 2013: submit 2-3 page chapter proposals and authors’ bios
(200 words)
*Feb 1, 2013: receive acceptance notification
*March 15, 2013:*submit first full chapters
*May 15, 2013: receive reviewers’ comments
*July 1, 2013: submit final versions

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing."
Ni! Friends,
I just received this email from Demand Progress and Lawrence Lessig, in
response to Aaron Swartz's tragic passing. Click here to support Aaron's
Law and the effort to achieve justice for Aaron:
http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/aaron_justice/?referring_akid=1969.159…
We spent yesterday burying and mourning our friend Aaron. We're sad,
we're tired, we're frustrated -- and we're angry at a system that let
this happen to Aaron. Now we want to set upon honoring his life's work
and helping to make sure that such a travesty is never repeated.
We and Aaron's friends and family have been in touch with lawmakers to
ask for help, and several of them -- who've worked with Aaron and Demand
Progress on SOPA and other issues -- are beginning to take action. We're
asking them to help rein in a criminal justice system run amok, wherein
authorities are encouraged to bring frivolous charges and hold decades
of jail time over the heads of people who are accused of committing
victimless crimes.
1) Representative Zoe Lofgren has introduced what's been named "Aaron's
Law." It would fix a key part of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
(CFAA), which is one of the statutes under which Aaron was indicted. We
need to pass Aaron's Law AND further amend the CFAA.
The CFAA makes violations of a website's terms of service agreement or
user agreement -- that fine print you never read before you check the
box next to it -- a FELONY, potentially punishable by many years in
prison. That's how over-broad this dangerous statute is, and one way it
lets showboating prosecutors file charges against people who've done
nothing wrong.
Aaron's Law would decriminalize violating these agreements: They're
essentially contracts, and as with other contracts, disputes about them
should be settled in civil courts rather than in out of control criminal
trials under threat of decades of prison time.
Aaron's Law alone wouldn't have saved Aaron -- there is still more to do
to make sure that victimless computer activities are not charged as
felonies -- but this is a solid start that we can pass now and it's a
law he wanted to change. Then we'll keep pushing forward.

http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/aaron_justice/?referring_akid=1969.159…
2) Additionally, we asked Congressman Darrell Issa -- who controls the
powerful Oversight Committee -- to open an investigation into
prosecutorial misconduct in Aaron's case.
Amazingly, he's already responded and is sending an investigator to the
office of the U.S. Attorney who was pressing charges against Aaron.
We want the inquiry to proceed, and to be broadened to include a more
thorough investigation into rampant over-prosecution of alleged crimes
with no victims -- as in the case of what Aaron was accused of. And we
want those who abused their power to be held to account.
We loved Aaron -- so many people loved Aaron -- and his death is tragic.
We and others who were close to him are overwhelmed by the outpouring of
support, and the calls for justice. Thank you for joining us in that fight.

A Fundação Lemann traz pela primeira vez ao Brasil o criador da Khan
Academy, Salman Khan. Neste canal você poderá conferir ao vivo uma
transmissão, via Hangout, da palestra que ele fará no próximo dia 17
às 9h30 da manhã.
A Khan Academy é uma organização não governamental que tem como
objetivo contribuir para a melhoria da educação por meio de
vídeo-aulas online disponibilizadas gratuitamente. As aulas já
alcançaram 220 milhões de visualizações no YouTube e ajudaram a
redefinir o papel da tecnologia na educação.
No Brasil a Fundação Lemann, em parceria com o Instituto Natura e o

Preciso da participação de vocês no tópico deste link, para cumprimento de
etapa para solicitar alterações de configurações em wiki ao staff da
Wikimedia. Logo depois, passarei pedindo para ajudar no primeiro uso dessa

THIS
IS AN
ENCYCLOPEDIA
One gateway to the wide garden
of knowledge, where lies
The deep rock of our past,
in which we must delve
the well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted
for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which
truth may grow in bright places,
tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine,
warming our first steps toward knowing
how much we do not know.

Assunto: [Wikimedia-l] Call for volunteers: Election Committee
Para: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Cc:
Hi Everyone,
2013 is an election year for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia
Foundation.
As you may recall the board has three directly elected representatives on
it which serve for two years. Currently those are Mindspillage, SJ and
Wing. As in the past years we rely on an effective election committee to
coordinate the elections for us. They not only guarantee that the election
is overseen by an independent body, but they also make sure that the
tremendous amount of work that needs to be done is taken care of. My job is
to coordinate the formation of this committee.
This is a call for volunteers to serve on the election committee. If you
feel that you can contribute to this committee, please contact me and give
a small summary of why you think you would be able to help out with this
process. Just to make sure we all understand: you cannot be part of the
election committee if you are planning to be a candidate or are planning to
support any candidate publicly. Deadline for any extra volunteers is
January 31st 12:00 UTC.
The timeline for the next steps in the process will be published somewhere
in February by the election committee. So if you are interested in becoming
a candidate, time to start preparing!
Regards
