The programmers-in-residence initiative invites
Free/Libre Open Source software developers to spend a
few months at mi2lab - Multimedia institute's media lab
in Zagreb, Croatia working on a choice of projects. The
initiative is open to participants from a range of
developing and transition countries (Eastern and
Southeastern Europe, Cental Asia and Caucausus, and
Africa).
>From http://residence.mi2.hr:
"The mi2lab residence program and work on free software
development was conceived as an extension of the
Multimedia Institute's successful work in the specific
context of bringing together software developers,
arts/artists, theorists and broader aspects of cultural
production.
A software developer in mi2lab residence can expect a
stimulating environment of mi2lab free software
developers, the local sound and video art community, and
theorists around the GNU GPL based publishing label
EGOBOO.bits. The net.culture club mama - the Multimedia
Institute's public interface - is a meeting place for
the local DJ scene, activists, artists, geeks, nerds and
anima afecionados, while through the net.culture club
mama regular program an interested developer will get an
insight into the recent new media art, tactical media
and critical theory production.
We believe that free software development in such an
environment creates synergies needed to sensitize the
software scene to social issues and sensitizing the
non-techie activist and art community to the importance
of using and the quality of free software."
