Opening keynote (Day 2)

+

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.

+

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.

+

Micky is a member of Drupal, a community based on free software, and +she writes about her experience as a contributing author in Ours +to Hack and to Own. 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 Wired +magazine. Micky lives in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Richard Stallman

+
+
+

Richard Stallman founded the free software movement in 1983 when he announced +he would develop the GNU operating system, a Unix-like operating +system meant to consist entirely of free +software. He has been the GNU Project's leader ever since. In +October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.

+

Since the mid-1990s, Richard +Stallman, 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.
