Governance, Diversity, and Controversy in Open Technology Projects

About this event

In recent years, conflicts over values and practices have emerged in hacking and free/libre and open source (FLOSS) communities, centering around diversity and inclusion. This talk presents ethnographic research on feminist hacking and "diversity" efforts in mainstream hacking, which have gathered momentum in these communities in recent years. It explores how participants work through thorny issues of inclusion through their practices with artifacts and with one another. It illustrates how there is more at stake in "hacking diversity" than a politics of representation can capture, and argues that how diversity advocates bound their interventions matters for both hacking communities and "tech" more broadly.
