Sad I didn't get to ask my question for Jacob Bruggeman & Megan Finn after their “Undone Codes:Ethics in the #ACM 1966-1992” presentation:“Would you like to be a# FOSS activist & licensing policy wonk for 2
years so we can switch jobs for a bit?…b/c your jobs seem waaaaay cooler than mine
& I at least wanna try it!”
Also, Ken Burns: history of computing ethics is your next series, please!
