This session includes steps and concrete solutions for anyone--especially non-programmers wanting to learn how to build things with free software--starting with Drupal. If you are a coder, I will reveal ways that you can get involved in building things; if you are not a coder you will learn about the large network that already exists. You can create a sustainable existence building things with free software. Drupal is free software and a framework to build your dreams. There are free Drupal tutorials and a large global community of people that are helpful. Platform Cooperativism pulls it all together with an ecosystem of people actively building platforms that are owned by the people that use them. This session will include ample time for questions, and a general discussion on ways to bring your creative skills to movements and communities.
