Ahoy,
Further to my grumpy rant, here is some of my own work for people to dissect
and criticise :)
'The Hacker Ethic and Meaningful Work', my undergraduate dissertation in
Philosophy. In it I tried to develop a unified hacker / free software ethic
that addresses the question of meaningful work, highlighting a few conceptual
problems along the way. I then tried to clarify and answer some of them with
the Marxist theory of alienation.

Comments are appreciated, as I intend to clean it up and see if I can't get it
published somewhere this summer (if it's good enough).
Some random fun trivia on it: Stallman described it as "deeply flawed", but
said he didn't have time to explain why. I suspect it begins with the word
"Marx" :)
Regards,
Tom
