hello all.
apologies for the delay and subsequent massive buildup... i was out of town, and i had to completely rebuild the scripts running the list (which i couldn't manage to do on the road) they couldn't deal with the increased volume for the list. hopefully this version will work better. in the process i added some pleasant new graphics to the homepage.
possibly the best benefit of the rebuild, is that it gave me the opportunity to set the script up so that all the calls will be archived at http://theredproject.com/calls/archives/ in the following naming pattern mmddyyx.html (where the x refers to the number of the email on that day (1 of 2, etc..)
if you haven't made a donation please consider this as a time to do so. (only about 20-30 people of the 1000+ on the list have.) To make a donation, please follow this link: https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=Shop%40Mandiberg.com or send a check to 24700 McBean Pkwy #AR-34, Valencia CA 91355, USA

mediumi 1.4 open source (please distribute)
call for proposals: open source politics and cultural practices
mediumi the Finnish web journal for media culture publishes its fifth theme number mediumi 1.4 open source in English. This call is for submissions articles, essays, reviews that address the economical or legal logic and various cultural/social politics regarding open source software. We are particularly interested in approaches that view software from the user or user group point of view, situating the software in its cultural and social context.
Open source software is often technically exclusive in its development and description. In which ways could open source become more accessible by non-programmers or non-sysadmins? What kinds of research projects, archives or meta-archives address the user end of open source?
In many ways open source economy is far from optimal, since without complimentary strategies it does not provide resources to renew, research and develop further. What kind of models can be created to maintain networked development, free non-commercial distribution yet generate sustainable economies? How to protect open source and open knowledge from becoming approprietarized (sic!), while enabling also commercial non-exclusive use?
While an increasing amount of technical knowledge is not publicly available, creating accessible software, related knowledge archives, and learning environments has become an acute political issue. What kind of policies or civil action is necessary to guarantee this? What kind of artistic or cultural interventions are taking place that address open source as not only a tool or a movement, but as a terrain for creative work?
submissions
We invite submissions in the following categories:
Article/essay 3000-4500 words
Interview/dialogue 2000-3000 words
Review of project, event, book 1500-2500 words
mediumi is a forum for researchers and practitioners of new media culture. However we also wish to have the articles accessible for wider audiences interested in new media. Please keep this in mind when submitting eg. by explaining the more advanced technical or theoretical concepts!

PRESS RELEASE
IT\\\\\\\'S P.E. TIME WITH CONTEXTIN\\\\\\\' ART - A NEW FORUM FOR EXPLORING THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NEW MEDIA ART THROUGH ART
Contact: artofficial construction media (ACM) artofficial2@yahoo.com
Contextin\\\\\\\' Art is a mini-portal for the exploration of the context(s) of art, and the struggles over what context is exactly. The economic, political and social forces shaping the histories of art are visualized as artworks themselves. With \\\\\\\"Contextin\\\\\\\' Art\\\\\\\", visitors can visually browse the often invisible relationships between art, electoral politics, and economic philanthropy.
Contextin\\\\\\\' takes cues from previous generations of artists engaged in \\\\\\\"institutional critique\\\\\\\" and \\\\\\\"conceptual art,\\\\\\\" as well as calls from contemporary artivists to interrogate the desire for \\\\\\\"techno-formalism\\\\\\\" within institutions.
Contextin\\\\\\\' Art will function as a rhetorical e-journal of sorts, soliciting and archiving web-based art works and texts that address its mission. New \\\\\\\"issues\\\\\\\" will be published quarterly, hosted from the ACM web site.
The Spring 2003 issue will launch in April, and we are accepting artworks and texts through March.
