Our next meeting is Friday at 5pm, building 12 (business bulding) room
1135. RJ will give a lecture on Open Source and Marxism. I'm very
excited about it. Bring your friends, the bigger the audience, the
more interesting the discussions will be, and the more chance for a
cool lecture next time.
Open Source and Marxism
- Ralph Bean
Consider the fantastic success of the Open Source community to be a
Rorschach test where each interested commentator projects their
political dream. Most existing caricatures range from a true
meritocracy to a libertarian utopia to the seed of technocracy. Well,
put on your historical-materialism-hat and join Ralph for a discussion
on the profound significance, exciting potentials and inherent
contradictions of the Open Source phenomena from the Marxist
perspective.
