> my German book Freie Netze (2004) and new research conducted in the
> context of the EU funded project Confine, the exciting world of wireless
> community network projects such as Guifi.net and Freifunk, gets
> interspersed with philosophical reflections on the relationship between
> technology, art, politics and history.

> In chapters yet to come, I want to treat this topic more
> internationally, thus interested to learn about projects from all over
> the world. Currently, I am preparing the next chapter on "social
> technologies" starting with firmware hack of OpenWrt in 2003 aftre GPL
> violation. What interest me in particular is the relationship between
> development of a technology and its usage, follwoing notions such as
> participatory design and social technologies ... again, grateful for any
> useful hints, experiences, stories

> achieved stable form. I am happy to accomodate input on all aspects of
> the project. Publishing early draft texts is part of my chosen
> methodology in this case

> looking forward to hearing from you
