[AktiviX] The Free software mode of production

[Space Bunny]

saw this workshop scheduled to happen at the anarchist bookfair ( 
http://www.anarchistbookfair.org/ ):

*
*12.00 Open source revolutionaries (Provisional)**
The experience of J18 produced a debate on whether to "Give up 
activism". The argument ran that our protest activism wasn't up to the 
job of overcoming Capitalism as a set of social relations. The debate 
was never resolved and most of our activity still appears to be 
"militant lobbying". But if we give up the activist mentality what do we 
replace it with?
This workshop looks at the free / open source software movements to see 
if their attitudes and techniques of distributed cooperation can be 
transported to political movements and whether they might provide clues 
to a new model of militancy.

Does anyone know who is behind this?

I myself probably won't be going to that bookfair.
