  92 <p><em>Closing keynote (Day 2)</em></p>
  93 <p>Micky is a member of the Agaric Design Collective in Boston, a tech
  94 co-op in the “free software for community building” movement, using
  95 tools like VOIP, Drupal, and GNU/Linux. She is a liaison between the
  96 US Solidarity Economy Network (SEN) -- devoted to ongoing dialogue
  97 on building the network -- and the United States Federation of
  98 Worker Cooperatives (USFWC), the national grassroots organization of
  99 4,000 US worker-owners “building power with national and international
 100 partners to advance an agenda for economic justice rooted in
 101 community-based, shared ownership.” Agaric’s five Web developers on
 102 three continents build applications online, offer international
 103 webinars, and host local meetings working with organizations such as
 104 Ujima Boston, Resource Generation, CommonGood, and the Greater Boston
 105 Chamber of Cooperatives, to raise awareness of cooperative business
 106 models and local opportunities.</p>
 107 <p>As a member of the MayFirst.org leadership committee, Micky works with
 108 technical activists to connect people with the information and tools
 109 they need to move from being a global network to being a global
 110 movement based on solidarity, the needs of a workers’ economy, free
 111 software tools that protect our freedoms, and tools for
 112 live-conferencing that are adapted so workforces can communicate in
 113 native languages from afar. Her four topic areas all converge in her
 114 presentations: community building, industry organizing, free software
 115 liberation, and cooperative development.</p>
 116 <p>Micky is a member of Drupal, a community based on free software, and
 117 she writes about her experience as a contributing author in <i>Ours
 118 to Hack and to Own.</i> The book is known as the handbook for the
 119 Platform Cooperativism Movement, which was started at the New School
 120 in New York City by Trebor Scholz and Nathan Schneider. It is now
 121 among the top tech books of 2017 listed by <i>Wired</i>
 122 magazine. Micky lives in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.</p>

 140 </header>
 141 <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
 142 he would develop the GNU operating system</a>, a Unix-like operating
 143 system meant to consist entirely of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180310155825/http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
 144 software</a>. He has been the GNU Project's leader ever since. In
 145 October 1985 he started the Free Software Foundation.</p>
 146 <p>Since the mid-1990s, <a href="https://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board/#stallman">Richard
 147 Stallman</a>, also
 148 known as RMS, has spent most of his time in political advocacy for
 149 free software, and spreading the ethical ideas of the movement, as
 150 well as campaigning against both software patents and dangerous
 151 extension of copyright laws. Before that, Stallman developed a number
 152 of widely used programs that are components of GNU, including the
 153 original Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, the GNU symbolic debugger
 154 (gdb), GNU Emacs, and various others.</p>
