people.makeart is a new project from GOTO10.

It is a repository of articles and lecture materials focused on the 
relationship between FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) and 
digital arts, as well as a database of free digital art projects.

During the first phase of the project we will build a permanent collection 
of articles. June 2007 the first call for papers will be made.

The selected papers will be published on the people.makeart website and will 
be printed in the FLOSS+Art book, scheduled for spring 2008, using 
OpenMute's POD publishing service.

GOTO10 is now accepting new, old and recycled papers on the following
issues:

- opening digital art's practice, code and culture
- FLOSS communities VS. art collectives
- digital art licensing, copying and distributing using open content models
- role of the artist in FLOSS development
- influence of FLOSS on digital art practices
- free software to produce art and the art of producing free software
- economy of an open digital artwork
- FLOSS as an embedded political message in digital art
- paradox and limitations of open licenses for digital art
- FLOSS as a way to quote and embed other artworks in a new one
- digital artist as a FLOSS developer/user and vice-versa
- definitions and manifestos for a free software art
- branching and forking of an open digital artwork
- opening digital art to ensure future maintainance and porting
