Dear all

I really enjoyed Dan Dart's talk on Tuesday night this week, and thank you to Bob for introducing me afterwards and to the rest of you for talking to me. I attach the survey that you filled in, again, my sincere thanks.

Would any of you on the list mind having a look at the survey and perhaps filling it in and sending it back to me address@hidden ? I include details of the project on the document and I'm more than happy to answer any other questions you may have if you email me. I will come to the Arduino talk this Saturday night at Mad Lab too so will bring some hardcopies then too. I have promised to buy a drink for people who fill it in x-}

Kind regards, Phoebe

Hi all

I fell silent, my apologies. I am doing some work with the Freee Arts Collective and have been involved in that for the past few days.

As a way of introduction, I work at Salford University and I research peer to peer production and related, for example my article Peer to Peer Production, a Revolutionary or Neoliberal Mode of Subjectivation?: aka Subjectivity in the Ecologies of P2P Production

I am now interested in writing about what people who work in free software feel the main impacts on their bodies is. That probably sounds quite ridiculous, what I mean is, and this sort of builds on the Ghosht's research in Maastrict and Taylor's work on activists in the Netherlands some years ago, I am curious about whether typical working conditions have changed for free software producers, as it were. I would love to get a chance to speak to you all about this, so if you would be ok to have me at one your meetings, that would be amazing, and we can talk about the related aspects there but I am also interested in potentially interviewing some of you about these issues so would probably ask to meet with you separately as well.

What's in it for you? I can definitely offer at least one soft or hard drink!

Kind regards,

Phoebe

Hi Team and Phoebe

Phoebe and I have been discussing a possibly topic for one of our
monthly meetings. Instead of full talk we could have a small talk on
the topic below and then have a group discussion? See editing email
below for more details. Thoughts?

Regards,
Mike.
