The Hacker Ethos meets The FOSS Ethos

Presented at DerbyCon 2.0 Reunion (2012), Sept. 28, 2012, 7 p.m. (50 minutes).

The Hacker Community has long enjoyed the fruits of the Free Open Source Software movement, but are they really a part of the community, or just some dark growth people prefer would be excised? In this talk we explore what FOSS really means, and how Hackers can use it to better their community.

Presenters:

• Rick Farina / Zero_Chaos   as Rick Farina
  A member of the hacker community for a decade, and finally mad enough to submit a talk highlighting the flaws of the community.
