FOSS Academic

Goal 2, Initiate

For about a year I've been teasing at Goal 2 for this blog, which is to write a book about FOSS. It's probably not surprising to hear that I needed to narrow that focus down. FOSS is a massive phenomenon, and any given area within it deserves lengthy analysis. For example, Biella Coleman's classic book Coding Freedom focuses heavily on the Debian distribution. One could imagine similar books about the Linux Kernel, or Canonical, or Arch, or web servers.

Given my background as a scholar, however, it makes sense that I should pursue a book-length project focusing on FOSS social media.
