Beating the drums: Why we made gender an issue

Since 2010, Libre Graphics magazine has been showcasing high quality art and design made with F/LOSS. We've also been publishing articles which offer critical perspectives on art and design practice in F/LOSS and Free Culture contexts. In winter 2014, we published an issue called "Gendering F/LOSS." Building on years of discussion in diverse F/LOSS communities, we used the issue to look at the state of gender in F/LOSS art and design. In this presentation, we explain why we made gender an issue, literally.
