[liberationtech] [cpsr-activists] CPSR Curriculum?

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

I disagree. 

I read the ACM code in its entirety, and although very difficult to follow in the current rarefied mega-Corporate environment, it is what it should be for professionals that should be serving society first instead of profiting from it regardless of consequences.

I also commend the very participatory process the ACM went through to create it in the first place. I surely gave my input, and now I felt I was heard and represented in the end product.

Regards / Saludos / Grato
