== Universe hacking ==
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), hardware, and content development can be the grounds for impressive technical feats -- but they're also spaces where radical political, social, legal, psychological, and cultural shifts can begin to take hold. This talk explores the interplay of four levels of "universe hacking" via (re)telling stories from FOSS projects both large and small. What does Creative Commons have to do with terraforming? How is FOSS@MAGIC like a Biosphere?
Mel has both worked in and done research on FOSS communities, and will explain all this with plenty of cartoons and sci-fi analogies, so come and find out!
== About Mel ==
Mel Chua is a contagiously enthusiastic hacker, writer, and educator with over a decade of teaching and curriculum development experience and a track record of leadership in Free, remedy Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities. Mel is a Research Assistant Professor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, teaches electrical engineering, and does research on open source and engineering curricular cultures.
