Policy Guidelines FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION OF OPEN ACCESS by Alma Swan United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Communication and Information Sector EXCERPTS: ...Evidence has unequivocally demonstrated that to have real effect policies must be mandatory, whether institutional or funder policies.... Evidence shows that researchers are quite happy to be mandated to act in this way... Policies can require ‘green’ Open Access by self-archiving but to preserve authors’ freedom to publish where they choose policies should only encourage ‘gold’ Open Access through publication in Open Access journals... The optimum arrangement, one that accommodates the needs of all stakeholders, and has the potential to collect the greatest amount of Open Access content, is for a network of institutional repositories to be the primary locus for deposit and for centralised, subject-specific collections to be created by harvesting the required content from that network of distributed repositories...

Documents show cops making up the rules on mobile surveillance ByTimothy B. Lee <http://arstechnica.com/author/timothy-b-lee/>|Published2 days ago Documents newly obtained by the ACLU reveal the extent of surveillance conducted by state and local law enforcement agencies with the assistance of cell phone companies. Most notably, they show that location-based tracking has become ubiquitous, with cell phone companies offering "tower dumps" of everyone who used a particular cell phone tower during a particular time period. At least one police department, worried about public backlash if the extent of such tracking became widely known, has barred officers from disclosing the use of such tracking capabilities to the media.

by fiorella de cindio April 5, 2012

April 5, 2012

dal comunicato stampa allegato Vi informo con molto piacere che "L'Università di Genova, in occasione delle prossime elezioni amministrative, mette a disposizione della città uno spazio web www.comunilagenova2012.it per favorire la partecipazione attiva dei cittadini" riprendendo "liniziativa promossa dallUniversità di Milano e dalla Fondazione RCM Rete Civica di Milano in occasione delle elezioni comunali di Milano del 2011 che ha dato origine a www.partecipaMi.it, spazio di confronto sui temi della città." "ComunaliGenova2012 nasce per iniziativa del Dipartimento di Informatica e Scienze dellInformazione (DISI), in particolare della prof.ssa Marina Ribaudo" [quindi c'è anche un pizzico di Torino visto che Marina Ribaudo viene dal Dip.di Informatica di Torino], con il supporto del prof. Mauro Palumbo del Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione." l'interessamento del prorettore Maurizio Martelli (anche lui collega informatico di origini pisane) e un po' di supporto da parte di Giovanna Sissa, che noi frequentatori di questa ML ben conosciamo. Fate girare la voce tra gli amici genovesi per far decollare questa nuova esperienza di partecipazione civica! Buone Feste -- fiorella
