The document discusses the role of open source in education and the collective production of knowledge. It touches on several topics including globalization, science and technology, networks and connections, new languages that have emerged from technology, appropriation of technologies by social movements, and possibilities for collaboration using open source tools and environments. Open source is presented as a way to proliferate discourses and knowledge in a non-hierarchical manner by allowing marginalized voices to participate. Examples of open source projects and social movements that have utilized technology and open networks are provided.
