SeniorMicky Metts is a seasoned web technologist and cooperative organizer with 14+ years building community-centered software and movements from Boston. As a member of the Agaric worker-owned collective and founder of CustomChat, she blends hands-on Drupal, VOIP and GNU/Linux engineering with strategic advocacy for free software and cooperative economics. Micky advises and speaks for national networks like the US Solidarity Economy Network, USFWC and MayFirst, turning technical tools like CiviCRM into vehicles for community power and shared ownership.
