AoIR 6.0 Chicago 2005 Site Update & Registration Reminder
by Steve Jones 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

The web site for AoIR 6.0 in Chicago has been updated. One of the key items of information is a link to an excellent web site with information about the city of Chicago (the direct link to the page is http://conferences.aoir.org/registration.php?cf=3) I also want to remind you that the deadline for early registration is August 26, 2005, so there is only one more week during which to secure the lower registration rate. To register for the sixth annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (to be held in Chicago October 6 - 9, 2005 with pre-conference workshops held on October 5, 2005) at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel go to: https://www.conted.vt.edu/ssl/aoir/index.lasso You will be able to pay the registration fees by credit card or by check. You can also register there for the conference banquet (taking place on Friday, October 7, at the Mid-America Club, on the 80th (top) floor of the Aon Center, Chicago's second tallest building. You may also register for a historical tour of Chicago's "L" elevated train (taking place on Saturday morning, October 8). Join others in an AoIR-only L car for a tour of some of the L system's oldest routes with the Chicago Transit Authority's historian. A link to online hotel registration is provided on the site after you have clicked the "submit" button and sent in your registration. We have negotiated the best possible rate from the hotel and encourage you to book a room early. As is the case with most all hotel-based conferences we have to meet the minimum occupancy with which we are able to use the hotel's meeting rooms and if we do not meet that occupancy rate then we'll have to increase the registration fees, to cover the additional meeting room cost. The direct link is: http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/chidt? groupCode=airaira&app=resvlink By using that url you should receive the AoIR group rate of $155 USD per night for accommodations during the conference. Let me also reiterate the news about the excellent keynote speakers for this year's conference and to share information about their presentations. Sonia Livingstone, Professor of Social Psychology and a member of the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics will give a speech titled "Youthful experts? A critical appraisal of children and young peoples' emerging internet literacy." Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics, is another keynote speaker. Her speech is titled "Digital formations: The intersection of technical and social logics in electronic space." And our third keynote speaker is Ang, Peng Hwa, Professor of Media Management and Law at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, who will give a speech titled "The UN and Internet Governance: Fears, Hopes and Possibilities." I appreciate everyone's support of the conference and of AoIR and look forward to seeing you in Chicago soon! Sj

Call for Chapters - Submission Deadline Oct. 1, 2005 For the Edited Collection Handbook of Research on Open Source Software: Technological, Economic, and Social Perspectives Edited by Kirk St.Amant and Brian Still, Texas Tech University INTRODUCTION The decision to purchase or to use a particular software product can be the choice that results in the success or the failure of an organization. For this reason, decision makers at different levels and in a variety of fields need to understand the factors that contribute to the effective adoption and use of software products. Open source software (OSS) is increasingly viewed as a viable option that can allow a variety or public and private organizations to achieve their desired goals. OSS adoption and use, however, is complicated by the social agendas and the economic goals many individuals attach to the use of OSS materials. OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK The purpose of this handbook is to provide readers with a foundational understanding of the origins, operating principles, legalities, social factors, and economic forces that affect the uses of OSS. For this reason, the proposed handbook would focus on areas and concepts essential to understanding when and how various organizations should adopt OSS. Chapters would present short (3,500-5,000 word), focused perspectives on a particular aspect of OSS adoption and/or use. Such perspectives would be designed to help businesspersons, researchers, and other decision makers make more informed choices that would facilitate the ease and effectiveness with which their organization used or interacted with OSS products.

The (Il)Legalities of Open Source Software: Code, Copyright, and Cryptography * Ripping multimedia: The Copyright Problems Related to OSS Use * Privacy, Security, and Surveillance: Cryptography and Government Control * Whose Code is it Anyway? Reflections on Microsoft vs. the SCO Group Going Global: The International Spread of Open Source Software Use * The EU's Adoption of OSS: A Model for the Future? * Culture and Coding: Can We Create International Standards for OSS Use? * Wiring the World: The Role of OSS in Shrinking the Global Digital Divide Open Source and Education: Expanding Pedagogical Practices * Uses of Drupal to Enhance Learning * Claroline and the Packaging of Distance Education for Online Students * Blogging as Educational Activity Government Applications of Open Source Software * Examining OSS Use at the Federal and the Local Levels * Getting the Word Out: Government Uses of OSS to Interact with Citizens * The Security Factor: National Defense, OSS, and Terrorist Networks Expanding the Uses of Open Source Software: Perspectives for the Future * Shifting the Model: Will OSS Become a For-Profit Industry? * Development Practices: How Will the Code Be Created? * Culture and Code: Projections on OSS and Global Computer Use A more comprehensive list of topics of interest to the editors can also be provided upon request.

moderate dataset of internet scam messages available... (this is not an internet scam!)
by Ronald E. Rice 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Dr. Gerber has a moderate collection of Internet scam messages, and wanted to know if anyone might be interested in having them for analysis, etc. Otherwise, he's getting ready to delete this file. Please send replies of interest to Dr. Mike Gerber, Professor of Education, Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, UCalifornia Santa Barbara, 93106, CA, mgerber(a)education.ucsb.edu; http://education.ucsb.edu/people/gerber.html What I've been collecting are emails delivered to my normal university account since July 10, 2002 (the last was July 28, 2005). I believe there are 127 separate emails. There are occasional duplications of nominal sender and message, sometimes duplications of message with different nominal senders. Most claim to be from Africans, some claim to be from Europeans, and occasionally some claim to be from someone in North America. All are confidence schemes related to large amounts of money that have come into the possession of the sender. Some relate either to lottery winnings received by the sender or to claims that the recipient has won a lottery. I quote one exactly below as an example. So, that's it. If you know someone who wants them, I'm happy to send them on even though I imagine anyone using email has probably seen dozens of these. I imagine some scholar out there thinks they are interesting too. Best wishes, Mike Gerber GGSE ===================== Here's a verbatim quote from a sample taken at random that seems modal to me.
