Reflecting on value and invisible labor in collaborative projects, or why community govenance is important
abstract
The talk will discuss various types of invisible labor in collaborative projects, the values they create, and how such value is distributed within and beyond the community. The talk will cover actual examples, as well as reflections on literature on related topics. E.g. nerd politics (Postill 2018) and heteromatd labor - labor through somewhat voluntary/willing participation mediated by computer systems that is often unpaid or under-rewarded (Ekiba and Nardi, 2017). The distribution of value, material or symbolic, created by collaborative projects is a core issue in community governance.
