Halfway through this, on the train that morning: Paris Marx and tante discussing open source, past and present, the wordpress mess, open-source AI, Richard M. Stallman and a few related aspects. As it says on the tin:
I think we have actually reached the limitations of what the Open Source term and concept can do for us and I am not sure it’s enough for the future. Because software projects for the commons and a sort of social good need to face the fact that they are political and therefore need to include actual political representation of all stakeholders as well as democratic and transparent modes of decision making (at least when reaching a certain traction/user base).
Worth checking out for sure, as always.
