[FoME] Announcing: Call for Papers re:publica 2012

[Geraldine de Bastion]

Dear FoME-Members,

I would hereby like to bring our call for papers for re:publica 2012 to 
your attention and hope you will be interested in participating:

INTRODUCING RE:PUBLICA

re:publica is Europe’s largest and most prominent conference on the 
future of our society and all things digital. re:publica attracts over 
3,000 participants but has preserved an open and familiar atmosphere. 
re:publica is the quality conference with a festival feel.

In 2012 re:publica will take place for the sixth consecutive time in 
Berlin, Germany from May 2nd to May 4th. Unlike other conferences which 
focus on social media marketing and the usual “show and tell” of tools 
and projects, re:publica aims to bring together communities, leading 
thinkers of our time with activists and engaged organizations to share 
experiences.

CALL FOR PAPERS

This year's call for papers is open until February 5th. We are looking 
for creative, high-level talks, engaging discussions and hands-on 
workshops for our 2012 program. If you wish to contribute and be part of 
re:publica then please take part in our call:

http://re-publica.de/12/en/call-for-papers/

Participating in the call does not require submitting a scientific 
proposal. You can participate by filling out our online template which 
asks for your topic, a brief description of the content, format 
(lecture, discussion, workshop or action) as well as some information 
about you (name and previous experience).

TOPICS

re:publica addresses the question how digitization and new media impact 
on society. Main topics include the role of new media for political 
communication and protest, changing media landscapes and trends in 
journalism, DIY-cultures and net political topics such as  privacy, open 
data, open licensing, and Internet infrastructure and security. To find 
out more about our topics in 2012, please visit:

We are looking forward to receiving your ideas. Should you have any 
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Geradine de Bastion
