We must regain control! 6 What’s wrong with Apt/Yum/Pacman/etc.? Global state (/usr) that prevents multiple versions of a package from coexisting. Non-atomic installation, removal, upgrade of software. No way to roll back. Nondeterminstic package builds and maintainer-uploaded binaries. (though this is changing!) Reliance on pre-built binaries provided by a single point of trust. Requires superuser privileges. 7 The problem is bigger Proliferation of language-specific package managers and binary bundles that complicate secure system maintenance.

  • Enabling Learning by Teaching: Intuitive Composing of E-Learning Modules
    Enabling Learning by Teaching: Intuitive Composing of E-Learning Modules Alexander Berntsen Stian Ellingsen Emil Henry Flakk [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 2nd November 2015 Abstract In an effort to foster learning by teaching, we propose the development of a canvas system that makes composing e-learning modules intuitive. We try to empower and liberate non-technical module users by lowering the bar for turning them into module authors, a bar previously set far too high. In turn, this stimulates learning through teaching. By making a damn fine piece of software, we furthermore make module authoring more pleasant for experienced authors as well. We propose a system that initially enables users to easily compose H5P modules. These modules are successively easy to share and modify. Through gamification we encourage authors to share their work, and to improve the works of others.

It’s difficult to find the words for this year’s annual letter. I write to you at the end of a devastating year, with hope for better times and a flick- ering possibility of transformation on the horizon. Every single one of us has been profoundly altered by the pandemic and second order crises. The pandemic has forced us all to find our North Star and muddle our way through waves of change. This is true of individuals, and organizations – OSI and the humans who power it included. It is with great pride I say to you: even as we coped with the pandemic’s fallout, the people of OSI and open source at large have been hard at work charting a course to a more robust Open Source Initiative and a more resilient open source ecosystem.

They are, in a sense, owned by humankind as a whole. Both have played an important role in solving the situation that existed in the nineties, where it had become pretty much impossible to create or use software without paying tribute to the Microsoft monopoly which held everything in its grip. The possibility to freely create, improve, share, and use software is called Software Freedom. It is very much comparable to for instance Freedom of Press.

  • Hacking the Web 2.0 User Agency and the Role of Hackers As Computational Mediators
    Hacking the Web 2.0 User agency and the role of hackers as computational mediators andrea rota Thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, January 2016 With amendments (April 2016) I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. Additionally to the above copyright notice as required by the School, I declare that I release this dissertation under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license. 1 Abstract This thesis studies the contested reconfigurations of computational agency within the do- main of practices and affordances involved in the use of the Internet in everyday life (here labelled lifeworld Internet), through the transition of the Internet to a much deeper reliance on computation than at any previous stage. Computational agency is here considered not only in terms of capacity to act enabled (or restrained) by the computational layer but also as the recursive capacity to reconfigure the computational layer itself, therefore in turn affecting one’s own and others’ computational agency.
