  • A Topological Space for Design, Participation and Production. Tracking Spaces of Transformation
    The Journal of Peer Production New perspectives on the implications of peer production for social change Journal of Peer Production Issue 13: OPEN http://peerproduction.net — ISSN 2213-5316 A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR DESIGN, PARTICIPATION AND PRODUCTION. TRACKING SPACES OF TRANSFORMATION Sandra Álvaro Sánchez ‘Space of transformation’ is a concept borrowed from Serres’ communication theory and here redefined after the evolution of the post-digital milieu and the materialistic critique of the same. Hackerspaces, fablabs, medialabs and other shared machines shops are defined here as spaces of transformation, places for the encounter between humans and non-humans, where disciplines are bridged together, hitherto severed, giving place to collective practices related to education, production and society. Shared machine shops are sited locally but also connected globally. Online, they share innovative forms of production, education and collective organization, giving place to a complex ecosystem. This article presents an analysis of the topology of this ecosystem conducted by means of tracking and visualizing the online interactions between the hackerspaces listed at the platform Hackerspaces.org. The application of network analysis is aimed to answer the research questions: First, how shared machine shops are locally and globally connected? Second, what links hackerspaces among them and these with new social issues? The concept of shared machine shops as spaces of transformation and the study of their mutual relations allows for an understanding of the transformative capacity of these spaces and how they are producing a new space for social innovation through its mutual interchange of information. Keywords: hackerspaces, network analysis, design, social innovation, space of transformation development of new organizational forms related to By Sandra Álvaro Sánchez peer-production, and the prototyping of new material products, linked to entrepreneurship and Download as PDF innovation, as well as, of new educational projects.

Mark has been the CFO of Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago since 2010. Prior to that, he served as CFO of the Noble Network of Charter Schools, and as a principal consultant with Diamond Management and Technology, Inc. He has a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgetown University and an MBA from The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Mark also spent three years with the U.S. Peace Corps serving in Mali and Mauritania, West Africa, as a Small Business Development Consultant. ALA OFFICES ALA Library and Knowledge Management The new ALA catalog In the past year, the ALA Library staff have migrated the ALA Library’s catalog and related functions to OCLC’s WorldShare®Management Services (WMS). Although record clean-up and resolution of issues identified in the data migration continue, the cut over from the legacy system to WMS was complete in February. In addition to migrating the catalog, the ALA Library staff collaborated with several other units to rebuild the intranet function of the legacy system into “staff only” pages off http://www.ala.org/support/, along with a guide to the online resources managed by the ALA Library, at http://www.ala.org/support/ala-digital-library. In the four months of active usage, inter-library loan requests have increased, with staff requests nearly doubling and requests to borrow, increasing by a third.

  • Ethical Considerations for Research on Communal Publics
    Selected Papers of #AoIR2017: The 18th Annual Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers Tartu, Estonia / 18-21 October 2017 Tracing Controversies in Hacker Networks: Ethical Considerations for Research on Communal Publics This paper reflects on the ethical implications of research tracing controversies in digital, communal publics. It addresses two interrelated questions: How private or public are communication platforms used by digitally networked communities? And how should Internet researchers assess, define and treat online environments which are technically public, but suggest varying privacy expectations on the part of involved users? These questions are relevant to a wide range of Internet research. Privacy expectations have been discussed with regards to the ethics of using Twitter, Facebook, as well as other social media data (Zimmer and Proferes 2014; Ess 2013, 35ff.; Markham and Buchanan 2012, 6ff.; Zimmer 2010). In this paper, I focus on ethical implications of communal debates on controversial subjects. Specifically, I examine how gender- and diversity-related tensions and incidents have been discussed in hacker communities. I argue that the content reflecting such controversies commonly travels across various platforms which imply different degrees of privacy expectations and therefore require distinct ethical considerations. I particularly highlight the relevance of three factors for ethical decision-making when analysing controversies: the privacy expectations suggested by traversed platforms and users’ interactions; the vulnerability and public/private status of affected individuals; and the (moral) concerns which are at stake in respective debates. Within hacker communities, issues related to gender and diversity have increasingly been subject of controversial discussions. This is on the one hand linked to the emergence of feminist hackerspaces and ‘geek feminism’ (Fox et al.

  • Founding a Hackerspace
    Founding a Hackerspace An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to: Project Advisor: Francis Hoy Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by Joseph Schlesinger Md Monirul Islam Kelly MacNeill Date: Professor Frank Hoy Project Advisor Abstract This report is the written component of our project that explores the hackerspace phenomenon. The report discusses the background and history of hackerspaces along with the social context of the modern hackerspace. Interviews of various hackerspaces were conducted and analyzed in order to gain insight into their operation and management. The research conducted was used to establish a hackerspace as a for-profit business. We describe the process of launching this entity, MakeIt Labs LLC in Lowell, MA. Also included is the business plan created for MakeIt Labs. Acknowledgements We would like to show our gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that helped us with our project by supplying us with data about the hackerspace community. These individuals allowed us know first-hand what it was like to be part of the maker community. Specifically, we would like to thank the founders and members of the following hackerspaces for giving their valuable time and valuable information: Hacker Dojo, NYC Resistor, Sprout & Co, BUILDS, and Noisebridge. Our appreciation goes to all the people who have put information about hackerspaces online. Finally, we would like to thank our project advisor, Frank Hoy, for his assistance and guidance throughout the project experience.

  • Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture
    This is r0ket science! Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture By Dunajcsik Péter maxigas Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Jean-Louis Fabiani Jakob Rigi Budapest, Hungary 2012 CEU eTD Collection This is r0ket science! Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture 2011 August, Finowfurt airport, Germany. Around 5000 hackers gather for a week in tents and hangars to celebrate knowledge, sharing and creativity. The conference is called Chaos Communication Camp, and all participants receive a conference badge called the r0ket. It displays your name on an LCD panel, but it does much more than that: it is a primitive computer and wireless device designed to trigger all the cultural allergies of hackers. You can play the famous retro game Space Invaders on it, and the high scores of the game are shared amongst the crowd. Two hours after takeoff the high score system is already hacked: somebody leads the top of the list with -27500 points. Before the end of the conference, the badge is used as a component in a Do It Yourself Geiger counter, as a remote control for drones, as an electronic torch, and a dozen other amazing purposes. It has no price and it cannot be bought, but anybody can build one from basic components following the online documentation. It is a typical result of the work that goes on in more than 500 hackerspaces around the world. CEU eTD Collection A serious attempt to dissect the relevance of the hacker movement should first and foremost start by looking at practice.

The following review by Judy Anderson covers two books. Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet Julian Assange with Jacob Appelbaum, Andy Moller- Magun, and Jérémie Zimmermann. New York: OR Books, 2012. 186 pp. $16 The Snowden Files Luke Harding. New York: Vintage Books, 2014. 346 pp. $14.95 The continuing saga of WikiLeaks and the fate of Edward Snowden remain a story of conflicting viewpoints. Those interested in exploring the reasoning behind such hacking and exposure will find that Cypherpunks supplies the back- ground and philosophy of the techies who feel strongly that the Internet must remain a free zone for privacy in communication, economic activity, and move- ment/travel. The Snowden Files shows another, more reserved, approach but with the same end—to alert people to the government’s invasion of their per- sonal privacy that, legally, it is only permitted access after proper procedures are followed against specific individuals.

  • Peer Production with Use of 3D Printing at Hackerspaces
    Vanguard of the 3D printed future: Peer production with use of 3D printing at hackerspaces By Daniel Wykretowicz Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Jakob Rigi Andreas Dafinger CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 April 15, 2013. metalab, Vienna Andreas is printing a 3D scanned object. Even though it was a test run, he did not have to alternate the scanned file. He just pressed 'scan' and then 'print'.“It works almost as good as the Replicator from Star Trek” - I thought. In the approximately same time the first fully 3D printed gun called CEU eTD Collection “liberator” was proven functional. It was fabricated for the cost of less than 25$ with an inexpensive desktop 3D printer similar to the one at metalab. It fired 9 rounds. (Forbes 2013) Acknowledgements In a first place, I would like to thank my supervisor Jakob Rigi for encouraging me to explore a reality of hackerspaces. I would also like to thank my second supervisor Andreas Dafinger for the active feedback during my research and afterwards. On behalf of Jascha, one of my informants, I would like to thank NASA and European Space Agency for bringing humans to the space. I dedicate this thesis to all the people who keep the information free.

  • Le « Hack » Ou Innover L’Adapter À Leurs Besoins
    SHOWROOM HEIG-VD – Route de Cheseaux 1 Horaires : 10h-16h L’HISTOIRE DU HACKING Dans l’imaginaire collectif, on associe volontiers les hackers à des pirates, voire à des robins des bois de l’informatique. Mais qu’en est-il réellement ? Cette exposition montre comment le hacking est intimement lié au développement de l’informatique : il propose une vision atypique et souvent disruptive de la technologie qui a influencé, entre autres, la conception de l’ordinateur personnel et d’Internet. Les hackers peuvent être des bidouilleurs, des professionnels, des militants, des pirates, mais aussi des femmes – si elles sont peu nombreuses, elles n’en jouent pas moins un rôle important. Ces différentes figures du hacking partagent une même passion pour défricher les terres inconnues et pour l’innovation. Au cours de son histoire, le hacking a participé à la création de nouvelles technologies et de nouvelles activités professionnelles, comme en témoignent l’Orientation Sécurité informatique et le Pôles Y-Security de la HEIG-VD.
