Below are notes. I'm working on building this activity [https://github.com/openhatch/ethics-and-history here]- once it's done, I'll update the notes below.
==Format of Activity==
Students will be presented with a brief summary including links to further sources. They will be asked to read at least the summary (if not the linked sources) and to do the following:
* Write a (briefer) summary and add it to a group timeline that is part of a shared repository.
* Put issues that the story raises into the issue tracker.
** If that issue already exists, they should add to the issue instead of making a new one.
** Issues should be tagged with relevant terms such as the different freedoms, DRM, etc. (Make a more complete list.)
* (Potential/optional):
** read through the other summaries as they are put up and vote somehow whether they support the actions of the free software advocate involved
** do further research and add primary sources to the repository/wiki
==Incidents to Investigate==
Areas to investigate more:
* older stuff - how did software become un-free? military roots
* piracy - how does it relate?
Incidents:
* Stallman and the printer
* Skype: 2006, discovered to resist analysis [http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-europe-06/bh-eu-06-biondi/bh-eu-06-biondi-up.pdf]; 2008, discovered to (in China) have censorship and surveillance on certain keywords [http://www.nartv.org/mirror/breachingtrust.pdf] including insecure survillance database [http://www.nartv.org/2008/10/02/tom-skype-q-a/]; 2013: such censorship + surveillance continues to this day [http://cs.unm.edu/~jeffk/tom-skype/]
* Linus Torvalds?
* Blake Ross and Mozilla/Firefox?
