That's an interesting idea. Sounds appropriate for the goals of the extra readings. You've proposed not only a new section but also 3 resources for that section. But you haven't shared why these resources were chosen instead of others. Are these well regarded classics? Are these new resources that have received rave reviews? Used in university courses or recommended by online communities of hackers? |
Well, the first essay by Eric S. Raymond is considered a classic. The last one is an older documentary about the history of Linux, and I believe it captures the essence of hacker culture very well. (It hooked me onto free software some years ago, really, but it's more than personal). |
I noticed that OSSU does not mention hacker culture. Although it is somewhat unrelated to computer science studies, I recognize that the very existence of OSSU aligns with hacker culture: we learn, we share, and we strive to replicate what is typically done at universities. This culture itself originated in renowned institutions such as MIT and Berkeley.
Therefore, I propose including a section on hacker culture in the additional readings for those who are interested.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
