OpenStreetMap.org is the free, editable map of the world! Anybody with a bit of computer knowledge and a GPS unit can contribute, but more importantly everyone is allowed do download our data and make useful mashups and beautiful maps which meet their own specific needs under extremely liberal licensing terms. Learn more about us at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/

One type of event we organise to improve the map is what's called a Micro mapping Party, a slightly planned, slightly spontaneous event where a handful of people with GPS units, cameras and scraps of notepaper converge on an area, divide the work between themselves, and map it out thoroughly during the course of a day. Read more at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Micro_Mapping_Party

Why Abingdon? Well, the main roads are done, but there are still voids for the residential areas. We should be able to fix this with a day's quick work!

If you want to join us to help map Abingdon, you'll probably need a GPS unit which records a tracklog and can save it in a form a PC can read. Extras like a digital camera aren't essential, but can help; check out our wiki for details of the bits and pieces you might need. Experienced OSM mappers of course, bring the usual.

Professor Williams will present the latest findings from the Virtual Worlds Exploratorium (VWE) Project. Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, the project uses a unique dataset to study human behaviors within a virtual game world.

With cooperation from Sony Online Entertainment, the VWE team hosts and analyses large behavioral logs collected by the game operator within the world EverQuest 2, and combines these with an original survey dataset. The resulting combination of attitudinal and unobtrusive measures allows for novel tests of human behaviors within the world.

In this talk, Williams will describe the project and present findings from the survey data, early results from the in-world metrics tests, and future directions as the team explores a wide array of social science and humanistic areas.

About the speaker

Dmitri Williams is an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication, where he co-directs the Annenberg Program on Online Communities (APOC). His research is on the social and economic impacts of new media, with a focus on online games.

Professor Williams was the first researcher to use online games for experiments, and was also the first to undertake longitudinal research on video games. In his current work, he is using games to test social science theories on a large scale in game worlds, including tests of economic behavior, group dynamics, trust and communication.

This presentation reports on a recent study of YouTube that relied principally on a survey of 4300 of the most 'popular' videos, which were categorised according to criteria derived from media and cultural studies approaches to the analysis of media genres and practices.

The analysis produced new knowledge about the extent of particular uses of the platform (such as vlogging, political commentary, or the 'distribution' of broadcast content); and the relationship between different modes of 'audience' engagement (commenting, responding, rating) and particular content genres.

The presentation builds on the findings of the study to discuss the co-existing and competing uses that are actually being made of YouTube - by the media industries, by audiences and amateur producers, and by particular communities of interest; as well as to consider the way that these practices challenge existing understandings of cultural 'production' and 'consumption', and their implications for the uncertain and competing futures of participatory culture online.

About the speaker

Jean Burgess is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries & Innovation, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, where she works on the politics and pragmatics of cultural participation and user-led innovation in new media contexts. Her recent work has included a major study of YouTube in collaboration with Joshua Green (Convergence Culture Consortium/Comparative Media Studies Program, MIT), culminating in the book YouTube: Online Video and Participatory Culture, to be published by Polity Press in 2008/9.

Burgess has developed several applied research partnerships with cultural institutions and community-based organizations, particularly around digital storytelling for cultural participation, advocacy and engagement. She is Reviews Editor of the International Journal of Cultural Studies.

This lecture will present the major thesis of Professor Manuel Castells' most recent work to be published in a book entitled Communication Power. His new book argues that power is 'based on the control of communication and information' and develops the theoretical and empirical foundations of the many aspects of this argument. His work on power and communication builds on his trilogy on the information age, which established him as the seminal theorist of the 'network society', which marked a major departure from previous conceptions by Daniel Bell and others of an 'information society'.

About the speaker
Manuel Castells is Research Professor at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), in Barcelona. He is also Professor Emeritus of Sociology, and Professor Emeritus of City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught for 24 years. He is also Professor of Communication and the holder of the Wallis Annenberg Chair of Communication Technology and Society at the Annenberg School of Communication, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, the Marvin and Joanne Grossman Distinguished Professor of Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Internet Studies at the OII.

Manuel Castells is the foremost cited communications scholar in the world. He has authored 19 books, including the trilogy 'The Information Age: Economy, Society, and Culture', 1996-2003, published by Blackwell and translated in 23 languages. He has also co-authored and edited an additional 22 books.

The digital era has created untold opportunities to broaden and deepen academic communications. It has also brought into stark relief questions of public versus private goods as new pressures are put on both for and not for profit publishing operations to be sustainable. The role of academic publishers is being challenged, as the often publicly funded research ends up being funnelled through the channels of the private sector. At the same time the Internet makes it possible to simply bypass conventional publishers altogether, though some lament the loss of the added value brought by professional publishing.

Within this context it is clear that new business models need to be constructed. Frances Pinter brings her experiences both as an academic publisher and an academic researcher herself to bear on the ways in which academic publishing needs to transform itself to respond to the opportunities and challenges of the digital age.

About the speaker

Dr Frances Pinter is the newly appointed publisher at Bloomsbury Academic. She is also Visiting Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance, London School of Economics, where she is researching into the role of civil society and the intellectual property rights reform agenda. She was the founder of Pinter Publishers, and Publishing Director at the Soros Foundation/ Open Society Institute. She has been a consultant to Creative Commons and is running an IDRC funded project called PALM Africa, that is looking at the role of flexible licensing practices and their potential for publishing in Africa.

Freestylers' sound is exactly as their name suggests: a heady blend of brash, hip-hop-inspired grooves resulting in a hypersonic amalgamation that knows no barriers.

The foundation of their music is in breakbeats, and anything can enter the mix: drum & bass, dancehall vocals, house rhythms, electro and hip-hop. Flitting between the grooves of dance, reggae and hip-hop styles, Freestylers craft a raw yet infectious aural melting pot that shakes dance floors and headphones around the globe.

It doesn't get better than this

The 2008 Oxford Beer Festival will take place from Thursday 16th October to Saturday 18th October, at Oxford Town Hall, celebrating our eleventh annual event at that venue.

As well as some 130 real ales we will have a number of real ciders and perrys, and a selection of foreign bottled beers. Expect to see a beer list, etc, a couple of weeks before the festival.
