127Millions of people have demanded an end to the NSA's mass spying programs. But we can't rely on governments to end government surveillance. Free software and end-to-end crypto is key. To protect the world from bulk spying, we need to make software that's secure <em>and</em> easy to use.</p>

148OpenPGP is the standard upon which modern cryptography systems are built upon. The Free Software OpenPGP implementation, GnuPG, is used ubiquitously throughout the free software world, and many people depend on safe and secure communications while using it. This talk will cover the basics of OpenPGP's format, and a very brief overview of how crypto systems, such as GnuPG, encode and send your data. This talk may assume technical knowledge for some parts.</p>

160Copyleft licenses, particularly the GPL and LGPL, are widely used throughout the free software community. Over the last few years, recent debates have led many to various conclusions about the popularity of copyleft. This talk will discuss where copyleft stands today, how it interacts with the modern free software world, and how copyleft advocates may need to adapt to th future of Free Software licensing.</p>

187In addition to information sharing and helpfulness, geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. This obligation to know is expressed by way of jargon-laden exhortations such as "check the FAQ"(frequently asked questions) and "RTFM" (read the fucking manual). Additionally, the geek lexicon includes designations of the stature of the knower and the extent of what he or she knows (e.g., "newbie"). Online feminists, especially "geek feminists," are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions, and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know, with some interesting differences. For instance, geek feminism includes a term for designating rudimentary (i.e., "101") knowledge, for "derailing" questions, and has novel concerns with respect to stature and extent of knowing (e.g., the Unicorn Law, impostor syndrome, and mansplaining).</p>

202The government is tracking who you call and when. Snoops are reading your emails. Internet companies like Facebook, Google, and Yahoo are working with companies you've never heard of to compile deep, secret profiles of millions of us, sell the data, and make billions. We're being surveilled from all sides. This panel will address practical responses to the creeping techno-surveillance state. How are individuals and communities responding when so many of our private details are being hoovered up, in secret and for secret purposes? What are the best practices for navigating the spy-infested waters of the Internet? We've reached a point in which opting-out is no longer an option. Instead, we must arm ourselves with new digital habits, policy solutions and grassroots pressure to protect our digital rights. The NSA, the defense establishment, and Silicon Valley are incredibly powerful. How can we possibly fight back? What are the policy solutions that will roll back the laws that enable government spying and hold companies accountable when they collude in these programs or go too far with their own corporate surveillance practices? How can individuals work with others to pressure Congress, governmental agencies, and Internet companies to do the right thing and protect our privacy?</p>

208The lack of a mouse and the presence of "the mouse" are having a detrimental impact on global elementary education. The rush to adopt tablets is putting passive tools of consumption into the hands of young learners at a time in their development when "making" is paramount. The "Disneyification" of media further erodes the opportunity for personal expression by young learners. In this panel we will characterize these threats and discuss strategies for combating them.</p>

263Today we often use binaries that someone claims were built from particular source code, but we usually have no way to check that the source and binaries we've been actually given correspond to one another.

284In Orwell's 1984, Newspeak had its vocabulary reduced so that subversive ideas could not be expressed. Likewise, user-programmable general-purpose computers are losing ground to ones that don't let users express the computations they wish to perform, unless they are available in exclusive appstores. Unable to program, users lose the freedom to improve software, and even the notion that they could! Failing to realize the importance of essential software freedoms, they fail to demand them! That's double plus unGNU! Let's fix it!</p>

309For a long time, hackers have been creating a lot of free software. Each free software project is an important contribution to ensure that all software users have the freedom to control their computers. Free software use has been increasing, but impediments to its development still exist today. From copyright threats to patents, including treacherous computing, bundled sales of computer with software, FUD, and threats to net neutrality, the causes for concern are numerous. Free software cannot develop fully without a benevolent political and legislative environment. That is where April plays a crucial role in France and Europe, along with allied organizations. Its actions, thanks to its volunteers and its staff, are precious for everyone who produces and/or use free software. It is the organization's small contribution to the free software movement. We will present April, how it operates, the current European issues they are working on, and future perspectives and share strategies, successes, and challenges.</p>

3412013 taught us that our computers are less secure than we'd hoped. What is the role of free software in improving our security? Does improving security mean compromising our freedoms? Or can we simultaneously increase user freedom <em>and</em> improve system security?</p>

347Since 2010, the GNOME Foundation's Outreach Program for Women has provided 130 women with an opportunity to participate in remote internships with twenty three free software organizations. It has helped participants become established free software contributors and has made a deep impact on the communities that have participated. We'll present what currently makes the program successful and will seek input from the audience about how the program can be expanded to offer opportunities to other underrepresented people, in addition to women.</p>

353The session will present an overview of the "natural fit" between free software and the values of government agencies in a democracy (transparency; openness; participation and empowerment; cost-savings; collaboration), and then proceed to discuss recent successes -- and persistent challenges -- in the campaign to get public-sector organizations to adopt, accommodate -- and ideally support and create -- free software tools and open standards.</p>

379The open science movement is a grassroots and growing effort to make science publicly accessible. While securing open access to published results is the most well known open science issue, activists are also working towards: breaking down the barriers between scientist and non-scientist through participatory research and citizen science; opening up the data and methods of published studies to allow reproducible results and meta-analysis; and highlighting the importance of contributions beyond patents and papers, such as the creation of free hardware and free software tools.</p>
380
381<p>In this panel, activists at the intersection of open science and free software will discuss how the two movements can learn from each other and work together. How do free software and open science differ in their approaches to shared goals of communal knowledge? What technical barriers to open science exist, and how can free software advocates help? How can open science projects build free software communities?</p>
