'''Yuwei Lin:'''

"I was there, too. I gave a talk titled 'Women's collective action in the
free software world' at this workshop. I argued that voluntary work in free
software is not necessarily unpaid labour; people are motivated by a
variety of matters to get involved in free software. However, the majority
of the rewarded and visible labour is coding jobs largely done by men. In
this talk, I drew on the stories about women's practices in developing and
using free software, and tackled such overemphasis on the value of coding
and men's work. I called for attention to invisible values of mutual
helping, mutual learning, participating, and sharing experiences. I also
called for acknowledgement of women's participation (and hence diverse ways
of coding and hacking) in the free software world."


Tere Vaden introduced the concept of [[Triple-Free Software]]:

"triple-free peer production (whether in free software, media,
education...) includes the ownership of the means of production down to
the level of electricity, the physical infra etc. I'm thinking of Gandhi
in South-Africa: when he with his colleagues wanted to start a newspaper
highlighting the racial/economic/legal issues, they could not get it
printed (economy + censorship), so they bought a printing press and
moved with it to the country where they grew their own food & wrote &
published. I'm thinking that something like this might in the long run
be necessary if we want to escape the dependency & falling back of peer
production to waged labour."
