That line of thinking is absolutely correct and most sensible. I guess
we should also learn to impart skills to any willing learner who has
(just) minimum resources at hand. Here, the minimal set of resources
needed are (a) an email account and (b) access to internet and a
computer. To enable anyone to these set of skills is real empowerment,
I guess. A space-centric will make the camp look more like a
proprietary skill development camp - closed, opaque, exclusive - which
are hall marks of a proprietary camp. We should be able to provide
skills and space to participate in any kind of software development,
saying that resource-centric projects like Smart City are unethical
and anti-FOSS in outlook - as such projects make the concept of space
inevitable in software development process !! Therefore, I strongly
believe that conceding to demands of an exclusive space for
participating in a development/debugging exercise goes contrary to the
spirit of FOSS, that we should be upholding the true spirit of
equality and justice and arguing in favour of an online, distributed,
anti-space-centric mode.
