Hi!

I've love to be able to let the list know that on the 29th June, we will
be screening Revolution OS
as part of our theme for the Manchester Film Cooperative on 'movement'.

http://www.manchesterfilm.coop/

Because we are a Cooperative, the themes, and films we screen are voted
on by members. We make no profit of course and are run in the
Cooperatives alternative model. We screen films in the upstairs venue of
the fabulous Kings Arms with interested people: activitists, people on
the left, concerned citizens and more.

We'd love to get the Free Software community involved in the screening
on the 29th June, since it is also part of an initiative to get the
Cooperative movement to speak to the Free Software communities. The last
weeks of June are this year's official Cooperatives Fortnightly. You see
the connection.

I have, personally, written about the ecologies of free software (final
section of book to be published as soon as I get these proofs finished,
it's called the/ International Political Economy of Work and
Employability/, with Palgrave), a piece with Paul A Taylor  (2009)
‘Exploitation of the Self in Community-Based Software Production:
Workers’ Freedoms or Firm Foundations?’, /Capital and Class /97: 99-120,
and I put on the event Media Ecologies and Postindustrial Production
last November http://www.espach.salford.ac.uk/sssi/p2p/ which brought
practitioners and thinkers from across the world to sunny Salford! I'd
love to get more involved in your community as well so am happy to see
the events you guys put on.

Anyway hope this sounds interesting and hope to see you at the King's
Arms on the 29th June. We need a speaker too if anyone is
interested--all this requires is a chair for the discussions we hold at
the end, complete with delicious King's Arms beers.

All the best, Phoebe
