Dear Marie, I am a big fan of Moglen's freedom box experiment. However, 
it is also my belief that in the networked digital environment, norms/ 
principles/ frameworks/ policy based initiatives have to work hand in 
hand with progressive practices from below. The latter alone are not 
going to be enough; such is the, well, networked logic of the networked 
environment ... I think the 'progressive techie' has to partially come 
out of the stand alone 'open source' mentality and think anew in the 
networked digital space, whose logics are quite different. Progressive 
politics and progressive grass-root practices have to meld together. 
This is the most pressing need for the current times.

regards, parminder
