Save for another pack

The images listed below are unsuitable for this pack:

  • My preference is generally to illustrate or suggest (in an abstract or concrete way) the essence of the pattern. I agree that this one is a rough one to find images for. Note that it's not talking about software etc. that is free, but socio-technological systems that promote emancipation for the users. From the pattern, "Digital emancipation, as opposed to digital inclusion, aims at income generation and identity creation rather than merely "bridging the digital divide." While access to digital networks is increasing, especially within developing countries, there is less confidence and actual, verified outcomes when it comes to job opportunities, entrepreneurship, solidarity, and organization of civil society. Digital Emancipation refers to greater autonomy and skills to avoid, when necessary, automation and digitalization when necessary, rather than an overall commitment to a "digital life." New forms of exchange, gifts, collaboration, and collective action involve not only technical choices but a fundamental consideration for the emancipatory potential of policy and technological options." - Doug Schuler - 01:56, 18 August 2012
    • Agreed, it is not about the software which is an enabler. I have added a few more below which go beyond that. - Kim Tucker 17:39, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
  1. GNU emancipating Linux :-) - Kim Tucker 17:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
    • Removed from gallery - image not suitable for this pack
    • The .svg image is licensed under the GPL which is for software. Compatability with cc-by-sa may be tricky (although the licences are well matched in intent) - Kim Tucker 17:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
      • See the Resources page for links to licensing related information (and discuss here whether this image is usable).
  2. Richard Stallman - founder of the free software (aka Libre software) movement. Libre software is a core enabler of digital emancipation.
  3. Baby GNU out of a Debian labelled box - found on the Freedombox Wikipedia page.

Gaining consensus

If enough people become involved and consensus is lacking, we can vote on images for the first edition of the cards (and continue with the collection work).

See the Resources page for guidance on finding suitable images.

How to "vote"

At this stage there is no formal voting process. Placing a vote of '+1', '0' or '-1' under the image of interest at the start of a comment line followed by your dated signature ('--~~~~')[9] means: 

+1 - I really like this image for this pattern
 0 - I have considered this image and don't object to its use on this card
-1 - Personally, I would not choose this image for this card

To "vote" for an image add a line below the image which looks like this (in wiki text): 

#* +1 --~~~~

when you Save, the four tildes ('~') will result in something like the second line in the following (using the "Saami Family in 1900" as an example from above):

  1. Saami Family in 1900

Feel free to add a comment on why you like/dislike an image.
