Ubiscribe PoD 0.9 is is a collaborative editorial wiki, both a publication and working
environment in its own right, and at the service of the production of an ongoing series
of Ubiscribe print-on-demand and otherly formated-to-the-occasion publications. The first
issue, PoD Ubiscribe 0.9 was launched on May 21, 2006 from 3pm during the "bookish
weekend" at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, Netherlands.
Ubiscribe PoD series:
Ubiscribe is a publication named after and generated from research conducted
in the context of this particular strand at the Jan van Eyck Academie design
department. It inquires into the conditions for personal and pervasive
publishing and participatory media in today's cultural production.
As an ongoing experiment in open collaborative writing and editing, for
its publication it uses networked writing and editing tools as well as
print-on-demand reproduction technology, for occasional back-up and review
copies and as a just-in-time public outlet. Some of Ubiscribe's earlier
manifestations include the 2004 Personal Publishing Pandemonium meeting;
2004 Wild Edit meetings; the setting up of a database in and as an exploration
of Devonthink CMS software, also 2004, and a consequent Stand-up Publishing
consultation; Thinktank gatherings, 2006. Its research inspired two papers
in the context of the "Tomorrow Book" research strand, Ubibook
and Ubibook Mark-up,in 2004–05.
