In the early years of the 21st century, as free software communities matured, they began to recognize that their contributor bases were overwhelmingly composed of men. A 2006 European Union policy report revealed that fewer than 2% of free software practitioners were women, which catalyzed attention to these matters (Nafus, Leach, & Krieger, 2006). Many hackers decided that what Grenzfurthner & Schneider (2009) called the “classical nerd scheme”, which has tended to favor men and elites, was insufficient to realize their goals (Dunbar-Hester, 2016; Eglash, 2002). With increasing urgency, groups formed to support individuals defined as “others” in open source and hacking. Significantly, the rough consensus and running code ethos that supported practitioners’ self-organization around technical production was reoriented to hack their communities. These voluntaristic efforts to reconstitute open technology communities are the subject of this chapter.
