Los hackerspaces pueden ser mas que tecnologia y software libre
Language: Español

This session’s header image

A hackerspace can be a place to share, learn and teach about free software, but when it is not a requirement but only a hub, a hackerspace can be a meeting place to develop and experiment on other topics for very diverse communities.

We invite people who are part of hackerspaces or free software communities to dialogue to learn together about strategies or actions that they have taken from their spaces in the search to make spaces more inclusive.

We will share our experience by expanding the thematic axes of a hackerspace to nourish ourselves with other communities and ways of seeing the world

Why did you choose that space? How does your session align with the space description? –

Most of the technological projects that are visible speak English or some European language, we believe that dialogue between hackerspaces and communities of the global south is necessary. There are some software projects that have a broad relationship with communities in Latin America, we believe that this relationship is beneficial for both parties.

 How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session? What if 30 participants attend? What if there are 3? –

If only 3 people attend, it can be a more direct dialogue where we can respond and ask about forms of organization and type of activities carried out by hackerspaces

If there are 31 people, we will use a pad to be able to read and answer the questions that arise, also the session would be more expository than participatory, leaving only half the time for participation.

 What language would you like to host your session in? –

Spanish

 What is the goal and/or outcome of your session? –

Generate ideas on how to make technological communities more diverse and inclusive, learn from other spacers and free software communities to apply it in our contexts and regions.

Share the experience of being a hackerspace from the global south

 What happens after MozFest? We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after MozFest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session. –

Continue the dialogue after MozFest in a virtual space such as discourse or hub. The hackerspaces community has mailing lists but currently few people use these tools, we believe that due to the short time of the session, the ideas and questions, answers can be extended in another asynchronous online space.
