My talk from make art 2009 about foocorp's projects at the time. "daisycha.in" later became GNU social.

2. • founded at the end of 2008
• Matt Lee, Rob Myers, Mark Cousens, Liam Smith, Chloe Phillips,
Mark Stephenson and Sally Jenkinson.
• a team of volunteers from the free software community
• Free Culture, Free Software, Free Society

3. • Inspiration (Factory, GNU)
• Problem (non-free software and culture)
• Solution (copyleft, distributed systems)
• Implementation (LAMP, distributed dev.)
• Projects (libre.fm, daisycha.in)
• Implications (forking culture)

4. Inspiration

11. 0 The freedom to run the program, for any purpose
1 The freedom to study how the program works,
and change it to make it do what you wish.
access to the source code is a precondition for this.
2 The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help
your neighbor.
3 The freedom to improve the program, and release
your improvements (and modified versions in general)
to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
