<p><em>Closing keynote (Day 2)</em></p>
<p>Micky is a member of the Agaric Design Collective in Boston, a tech
co-op in the “free software for community building” movement, using
tools like VOIP, Drupal, and GNU/Linux. She is a liaison between the
US Solidarity Economy Network (SEN) -- devoted to ongoing dialogue
on building the network -- and the United States Federation of
Worker Cooperatives (USFWC), the national grassroots organization of
4,000 US worker-owners “building power with national and international
partners to advance an agenda for economic justice rooted in
community-based, shared ownership.” Agaric’s five Web developers on
three continents build applications online, offer international
webinars, and host local meetings working with organizations such as
Ujima Boston, Resource Generation, CommonGood, and the Greater Boston
Chamber of Cooperatives, to raise awareness of cooperative business
models and local opportunities.</p>
<p>As a member of the MayFirst.org leadership committee, Micky works with
technical activists to connect people with the information and tools
they need to move from being a global network to being a global
movement based on solidarity, the needs of a workers’ economy, free
software tools that protect our freedoms, and tools for
live-conferencing that are adapted so workforces can communicate in
native languages from afar. Her four topic areas all converge in her
presentations: community building, industry organizing, free software
liberation, and cooperative development.</p>
<p>Micky is a member of Drupal, a community based on free software, and
she writes about her experience as a contributing author in <i>Ours
to Hack and to Own.</i> The book is known as the handbook for the
Platform Cooperativism Movement, which was started at the New School
in New York City by Trebor Scholz and Nathan Schneider. It is now
among the top tech books of 2017 listed by <i>Wired</i>
magazine. Micky lives in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.</p>

<h2>Richard Stallman</h2>
</hgroup>
</header>
<p>Richard Stallman founded the free software movement in 1983 when he <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180310155825/http://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html">announced
he would develop the GNU operating system</a>, a Unix-like operating
system meant to consist entirely of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180310155825/http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
software</a>. He has been the GNU Project's leader ever since. In
October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.</p>
<p>Since the mid-1990s, <a href="https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board/#stallman">Richard
Stallman</a>, also
known as RMS, has spent most of his time in political advocacy for
free software, and spreading the ethical ideas of the movement, as
well as campaigning against both software patents and dangerous
extension of copyright laws. Before that, Stallman developed a number
of widely used programs that are components of GNU, including the
original Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU symbolic debugger
(gdb), GNU Emacs, and various others.</p>

<p><em>Free APIs: The next generation</em></p>
<p>Shaun Carland is an engineer and free software advocate based in
Brooklyn, New York. He believes in the power of narratives, and is
interested in finding effective ways of framing the importance of the
free software movement, in order to forge alliances with developers
and nondevelopers alike. He believes this can be done by talking about
free software in different contexts, such as national security,
freedom of speech, human rights, and global security. In rare moments
when he's not coding, Shaun enjoys playing the piano, traveling the
world, and listening to Radiohead while it rains.</p>
