AoIR Executive Committee Elections -- coming soon
by Jennifer Stromer-Galley 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi everyone -- This year, AoIR holds elections for Executive Committee members. In about a week, I'll send out a call for nominations with more detailed information. This note is to encourage you to consider nominating yourself (or someone you love :), and help to guide this organization. If there are things that drive you crazy or things that you are fond of, run for office! You will be electing a vice president (who becomes president after two years), secretary, treasurer, student representative, and three open seats. In order to run for office or to vote, you need to be a member of AoIR. If you're unsure, you can go to www.aoir.org and click on the "members login" menu option at the top. If you have questions about the positions, feel free to reach out to me or to other members of the Executive Committee. You can find details about their shiny selves here: https://aoir.org/executive-committee/. ~Jenny President, AoIR Jennifer Stromer-Galley | Professor Director, Center for Computational and Data Sciences President, Association of Internet Researchers School of Information Studies 220 Hinds Hall Syracuse, New York 13244 e jstromer(a)syr.edu<mailto:jstromer@syr.edu> My 2016 political social media project: illuminating.ischool.syr.edu<http://illuminating.ischool.syr.edu/>

CFP: International Symposium on Open Collaboration (OpenSym 2017)
by Benj. Mako Hill 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

Greetings fellow Internet researchers! It looks like nobody has forwarded this year's CFP for OpenSym. OpenSym is great and has had a great history of involvement from AOIR folks over it's 12 year run. I'm involved in organizing the program this time around! Please considering submitting something, attending to the doctoral consortium, etc. Lots of details below! Regards, Mako OpenSym 2016 General Call for Papers ==================================== OpenSym 2017, the 13th International Symposium on Open Collaboration August 23-25, 2017 | Galway, Ireland Conference Website: http://os2017.opensym.org Call for Papers: http://opensym.lero.ie/cfp/ About the Conference -------------------- The 13th International Symposium on Open Collaboration (OpenSym 2017) is the premier conference on open collaboration research and practice, including open source, open data, open science, open education, wikis and related social media, Wikipedia, and IT-driven open innovation research. OpenSym is the first conference series to bring together the different strands of open collaboration research and practice, seeking to create synergies and inspire new collaborations between people from computer science, information science, social science, humanities, and everyone interested in understanding open collaboration and how it is changing the world. This year’s conference will be held in Galway, Ireland, on August 23-25, 2017. A Doctoral Symposium will take place on August 22, 2017. OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and the conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital library like all prior editions. The research paper submission deadline is April 07, 2017. Submission Information and Instructions --------------------------------------- Topics: The conference provides peer-reviewed research tracks on subjects related to open collaboration including: - Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) - Open Data and Open Science - Open Education - IT-Driven Open Innovation - Open Collaboration Research, esp. Wikis and Social Media - Open Policy/Open Government - Wikipedia and Wikimedia Research Paper Presentation: OpenSym 2017 will be organized as a one track conference in order to emphasize the interdisciplinary character of this conference and to encourage discussion. Submission Deadline: The research paper submission deadline is April 7th 2017. Submitted papers should present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, and/or in the design, development and/or deployment of novel concepts, systems, and mechanisms. Research papers will be reviewed to meet rigorous academic standards of publication. Papers will be reviewed for relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity of presentation. Paper Length: There is no minimum or maximum length for submitted papers. Rather, reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report research thoroughly but succinctly: brevity is a virtue. A typical length of a “long research paper” is 10 pages (formerly the maximum length limit and the limit on OpenSym tracks), but may be shorter if the contribution can be described and supported in fewer pages— shorter, more focused papers (called “short research papers” previously) are encouraged and will be reviewed like any other paper. While we will review papers longer than 10 pages, the contribution must warrant the extra length. Reviewers will be instructed to reject papers whose length is incommensurate with the size of their contribution. Papers should be formatted in ACM SIGCHI paper format. Reviewing is not double-blind so manuscripts do not need to be anonymized. Posters: As in previous years, OpenSym will also be hosting a poster session at the conference. To propose a poster, authors should submit an extended abstract (not more than 4 pages) describing the content of the poster which will be published in a non-archival companion proceedings to the conference. Posters should use the ACM SIGCHI templates for extended abstracts. An example of a poster abstract can be found here. Reviewing is not double-blind so abstracts do not need to be anonymized. Paper Proceedings: OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and the conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital library like all prior editions. OpenSym seeks to accommodate the needs of the different research disciplines it draws on including disciplines with archival conference proceedings and disciplines where authors usually present at conferences and publish later. Authors, whose submitted papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference have a choice of (1) having their paper become part of the official proceedings, archived in the ACM Digital Library or (2) having no publication record at all but only the presentation at the conference. Response from authors: For the first time at OpenSym, authors will be given the opportunity to write a response to their reviews before final decisions are made. This should be treated as an opportunity to correct any mistakes or misconceptions in the reviews as well as to propose minor changes that the authors can make during the two weeks between notification and the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates --------------- - Submission deadline: April 07, 2017 - Reviews sent to authors: June 02, 2017 - Response to reviews from authors due: June 30, 2017 - Decision notification: July 07, 2017 - Camera-ready papers due: July 21, 2017 Conference Organization ----------------------- The general chair of the conference is Lorraine Morgan, Lero (the Irish Software Research Centre) and Whitaker Institute, NUI Galway. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have at info(a)opensym.org. The program co-chairs are Claudia Müller-Birn (Freie Universität Berlin) and Benjamin Mako Hill (University of Washington). -- Benjamin Mako Hill http://mako.cc/academic/ Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results. --GNU Manifesto

Towards a Pedagogy of Civic Design
by Eric Gordon 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

I'm sharing an article that I and other faculty at the Engagement Lab at Emerson College recently published in the latest issue of Interactions Magazine: http://elabhome.blob.core.windows.net/resources/civic-media-art-and-practic…. It explores the Lab's pedagogy of civic design and uses our MA program Civic Media, Art & Practice (CMAP) to frame our approach. CMAP is a practice-based, intensive 12-month program centered around the production of a creative thesis project that highlights the relationship of media, art, and practice and explores a wide range of approaches to the art and design of civic media. We’re currently accepting applications for interdisciplinary minded students and recent graduates for CMAP (https://elab.emerson.edu/cmap) and would love your help reaching anyone who is looking to refine their skills and position themselves more strongly in the field of civic media. If you know someone who would be interested in applying to CMAP, please share this email with them. If they have questions about CMAP, they can reach out to me or the program director Paul Mihailidis < paul(a)elab.emerson.edu>. Thank you very much, Eric -- *Eric Gordon Ph.D.* Associate Professor, Visual and Media Arts Director, Engagement Lab Emerson College http://elab.emerson.edu Faculty Associate, Berkman Center for Internet and Society Harvard University
