Grants for Dutch open humanities ejournals

Incentive Fund Open Access Publications – Journals in the Humanities…

“Within the field of Dutch humanities, there is both the opportunity and the need for high-quality open access journals. This grant instrument aims to support the founding of new, or the conversion of existing journals to, open access journals solely within the field of the humanities. Duration: 2010-2011”

13 more titles added

Well, it’s now midday on Monday and Oxford Journals are still offering up full-text PDFs via Google searches, so I think it’s safe to index a few more titles. I’ve indexed another 13 Oxford titles in JURN. The full list of such titles, indexed at the article level, is now:—

Contemporary Women’s Writing

I’m wondering if this new ‘free access’ is about increasing the impact factor of each journal?

PirateBox

PirateBox is a…

“self-contained mobile [wi-fi] collaboration and P2P file sharing device. Simply turn it on to transform any space into a free and open P2P file sharing network. […] the system is purposely not connected to the Internet in order to subvert tracking and preserve user privacy.”

“Can I make my own PirateBox? Absolutely! The PirateBox is registered under the Free Art License (FAL 1.3). It can be built for approximately US $100.”

No storage of its own, apparently, so it’s only a conduit. Possibly useful for academic symposia and conferences that don’t want to pay venues for fast wi-fi just to let people swop big files? And perhaps for business meetings where attendees want secure (I’m assuming the box does best-quality wireless security) sharing of sensitive files.
