Hope by Michael Albert - Came across this Facebook is a diseased, Zsocial as Medicine? and the comments pissed Stephen off!
- Expectation was the use of free software and creative commons, but turns out from the article comments and this interview we find a different thought on free software..i mean open source
- Free software community according to Albert is not political and not anti-capitalist
- Matter of terminology and the use of socialism
- The free software coordination of development is not capitalist, surplus is not created and a product for the community is created.
- Michael Albert is blind to the free software movement, the free software movement enables a different mode of production
- Zsocial does nothing different than the failures of unionbook, but does nothing that Diaspora and Identi.ca do
- We wouldn’t have this show if we did not make the connection between the social movements and free software movements
28:35 Feedback loop
- We received an email from Kevin, who wrote a nice background of his in the movement
- Kevin raised two things, first if we have projects that he could participate in
- The first project is to build the community here, by installing the Vanilla Forums software
- The second is for us to basically bring in a segment to the show talking about philosophy, which will will integrate.
- Please keep the emails coming we always want to hear and it helps with future shows.
