106 What could possibly make thousands of free software advocates, ham
107radio operators, researchers and physicians stand together? One
108obscure FCC rulemaking proposal on wireless radios. Eric Schultz, one
109of the leaders of the Save Wifi Initiative, discusses the details of
110the extreme proposals of FCC to control how you use your
111devices. You'll learn the history of regulators quietly locking down
112wireless radios and how it's unintentionally extending to a lockdown
113of the operating systems of devices. Finally, you'll find out some of
114the problems with proposed workarounds for the the FCC lock down
115proposals.

151 User freedom is threatened by the growing complexity of current
152deployment and packaging directions. Running software (especially
153server/networked software) is becoming too hard for the average user,
154so many users are turning to the dangerous path of relying on large
155corporations to do their computing for them. What can GNU do to turn
156the tide here? Enter GNU Guix and GuixSD! This talk will walk
157through Guix's unique positioning to provide totally free and
158reproducible systems. A path will be laid out on how Guix could be
159used as a foundation for easy to run and maintain computing for
160everyone, how you can get Guix and GuixSD running, and how to get
161involved in the most hacking-friendly package manager/distro duo ever!

190 Being a free software user isn't easy, especially when you're a
191college student. I spent a year at a school that taught Visual Basic
192as its primary programming language for freshmen and sophomores, where
193"Introduction to Programming" was an overview of the Windows OS, and
194where most of the professors would only accept papers typed in Times
195New Roman -- and I survived. In this session, I'll give students tips
196for making it through college while still adhering to the values we
197hold as free software users -- including alternative fonts, making a
198GNU/Linux live disk for use on public computers, avoiding the "Netflix
199and Chill" dilemma, and most importantly, ways to discuss free
200software with professors and fellow students. After leaving this
201session, students will feel empowered and able to hold their own as
202free users in a proprietary campus.

287 I'll discuss aspects of our behavior and jargon that stop or slow down
288some new users and contributors in free software, so that in outreach
289efforts, we can be better at bridging the gap. These include git's
290terrible UI, our in-person conference structures, and widespread scorn
291of and dismissiveness towards team sports, Top 40 music, patriotism,
292religion, small talk, and Microsoft Windows. In getting rid of
293unnecessary barriers, we need to watch out for disrespectful
294oversimplification, so I'll outline ways you can know if one of our
295weirdnesses is necessary. And I'll talk about how to mitigate the
296effects of an inessential weirdness in your outreach efforts.

325 Our movement rarely talks about freedom with much philosophical
326nuance. In this talk, I'll try to put some flesh on the bones of
327freedom by giving an introduction to Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's
328capability approach, and applying it to software. The capability
329approach (sometimes called the human development approach) is a
330framework for thinking about human freedom that, since its development
331in the early 90s, has been applied across a broad range of
332philosophical, economic, and policy problems. Focused on what options
333a person has to reach their goals, it is well-suited for understanding
334where we succeed - and fail! - at actually freeing people.

337 Talk attendees should come away with a more nuanced understanding of
338software freedom, how to talk about it with others, and where to focus
339their coding energy to best increase human freedom.

370 The MAME Project's main stated goal is to preserve historical computer
371hardware. The strategy for achieving that objective is to inspect the
372devices and then to develop emulators for them. While most hardware is
373undocumented and relies on proprietary firmware, the MAME development
374community has nurtured strong reverse engineering practices since its
375origins back in 1997.
376 </p>
337a8e7d 377 <p>
e61f9182
ZR
378 The techniques that we need to master in order to develop new
379emulators include reverse engineering procedures that are also very
380useful for aiding in the creation of free firmware solutions to
381replace the non-free blobs used in a broad variety of daily-use
382devices. These skills are also useful for the development of free
383drivers for undocumented devices and in the porting of operating
384systems and BIOSes to new hardware platforms. We need to strengthen a
385community of skillful hardware reverse engineers so that we can solve
386the freedom issues denounced by projects such as Linux-Libre and
387Libreboot.

475 Copyleft has faced serious challenges in the last five years. It's not
476over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these
477attacks on copyleft come when "open source" reaches new heights of
478success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full
479time to churn out new free software, as long as it's not
480copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace
481existing, widely used, copylefted programs.
482 </p>
483 <p>
484 Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel
485named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license
486violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major
487companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The
488situation is undoubtedly bleak.

491 Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once
492assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt
493the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most
494developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.

527 We want to share experiencies around Mexican social movements
528migrating to free software and/or using other free tools. People of
529different social processes are increasingly adopting FLOSS in their
530daily activity to communicate and organize. Most of the motivation
531came from digital security awareness but some times it goes a little
532further (like be congruence with the defense of human rights). In the
533way of facilitating those processes we have seen some advantages and
534disadvantages and receive some feedback we want to share with the rest
535of the community. Specially interesting for developers and technical
536facilitators who want to share their own experiences in this topics
537and strengthen links between FLOSS technical communities and Latin
538American social movements. Intend to generate some ideas for improving
539the linkages between both spaces not only for the software itself but
540emphasizing the political aspects they share and how to empower
541grassroots movements using free/libre tools.

572 Loomio is free software that we created after experiencing the
573transformative potential of participatory decision making, and its
574limitations, during the Occupy movement in New Zealand. Scaling is
575impossible if people have to be in the same place at the same time so
576we developed software that allows online groups to be inclusive and
577fast, enabling deliberative discussion that taps the collective
578intelligence of the group while moving actively to shared agreement
579and action. Loomio is free to maximize access and inclusion, knowing
580that people who are on the margins of power are the least likely to
581have a voice. This session will engage participants in how Loomio
582works -- in fact they can sign up ahead of time to inform the session!
583I'll share lessons and challenges from cases across the 95 countries
584where citizen activists and workers are experimenting with better,
585fast platforms to collaborate. Participants will be inspired to use
586Loomio to support their groups.

717 This strategic action session is for anyone interested in the
718solidarity economy and asset-based community development. We'll
719compare notes, network, and outline the ecosystem of services needed
720to support the operations of community land trusts, worker
721co-operatives, sharing networks, and other democratic economic
722initiatives. We'll also explore how free software technology can help
723activists organize and manage investments, alliances, and information
724resources. Hopefully both hardware and software solutions will be
725discussed. I'll facilitate the session and am open to the
726"unconference" style, where the content of the session is decided by
727whoever shows up. I'll prepare an overview of the topic, with an
728emphasis on designing tactics for people without a background in
729technology. Security, control, and sustainability will be core
730concepts.

765 LittleSis is a free software, wiki-style database that tracks
766connections between the world's most powerful people and
767organizations. In the workshop, participants will be trained in the
768site's basic functions (e.g. editing profile pages and searching for
769interlocks between corporations) and advanced functions (e.g using the
770site's Oligrapher tool to create maps of information stored in the
771database). We will also share stories about the ways in which
772LittleSis and power analysis research have been used in movement and
773organizing contexts, including how activists in St. Louis used
774LittleSis to map and challenge the local corporate Powers Behind the
775Police and how activists in Philadelphia are using LittleSis to
776research the corporate entities behind education
777privatization. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to
778use LittleSis, as well as inspiration for how they can start their own
779movement research teams to map the powers that be in their
780communities.

887thought of as digital commons. They are free, gratis, and open to
888all. Framasoft is a French not-for-profit whose goal is to
889decentralize the Internet by promoting self-hosting. They work to
890empower everyone to install and run their own services. The project

8921,000,000 visits per month. #### End online tracking! Privacy Badger

924 Modern websites incorporate large amounts of third party resources. While these third parties can provide a better browsing experience all too often they abuse their inclusion on sites to be able to track information about your website's visitors. This type of non-consensual tracking must stop.

961 Projects with a significant number of contributors and users will face
962decisions where they are no longer able to fulfill the needs and
963desires of all stakeholders. When this happens some people become
964upset. A subset of those people become so upset they vent their
965frustrations on Twitter. I have collected tweets that express a
966negative sentiment towards decisions made within free software
967communities and by decision makers for free software projects. These
968were then categorized based on the decision type (e.g. licensing) and
969outcome (e.g. switching licenses). I hope to create a greater
970community understanding of decision making processes, develop a
971discussion about how communities and decision makers can move forward
972to better balance the wants and needs of stakeholders, and make a few
973crass jokes that possibly violate the Code of Conduct.

1134 By sheer luck and opportunity, a group of four doctors in 2004 at a
1135restaurant used napkins to sketch the data model of what they thought
1136would be a simple electronic medical records system.
1137 </p>
1138 <p>
1139 Fast track to today, this simple medical records system is known as
1140OpenMRS (Open Medical Record System), a free medical records system in
1141use in over 42 countries in the world. For example, when Google worked
1142on the ‘Ebola tablet’ under project Buendia, OpenMRS powered it. After
1143the national disaster in Haiti struck, OpenMRS powered the new
1144Mirebalais hospital. Six countries committed to deploy OpenMRS as
1145their national EMR system including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria,
1146Philippines and Bangladesh. OpenMRS has never hired developers for the
1147decade of existence, yet every single day people from all over the
1148world come to our platform and ask us how can they get involved?
1149 </p>
1150 <p>
1151 This session shares a decade of running a lean organization to provide
1152free medical records software, what has worked and what threatens our
1153sustainability.

1224 The free software movement has done well in the last few years, and
1225has even inspired a new generation of activists advocating for
1226software freedom. However, in a software-driven society where
1227everything from cars, watches, and even medical devices run on
1228non-free software, the free software community has its work cut out
1229for it. In order to enact significant social change, we need to work
1230with legislators, other activists, and local community leaders. Their
1231help is crucial.

1234 How do we connect our community to other groups? In order to gain
1235support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on
1236how non-free software can affect their everyday lives negatively. Even
1237the most non-technical person can become engaged with the social and
1238technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session
1239will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software
1240movement can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society
1241running on free software in a way that each person can personally
1242appreciate.

1293 The first day of LibrePlanet 2016 marks the third anniversary of
1294Register of Copyright's emphatic call for a comprehensive rewrite of
1295the United States Copyright Act -- the first such effort
1296since 1976. Congress has taken up the charge, holding dozens of
1297hearings and floating multiple bills. Meanwhile, trade negotiations
1298and extralegal agreements have changed the state of play. Where does
1299it all stand, and what can activists looking for common sense reform

1337 The full potential of free software is to break down the barriers to
1338technology and to participation, and to include users and contributors
1339from a wide range of backgrounds. There are four key steps for making
1340communities diverse and inclusive: creating a welcoming environment,
1341teaching skills, fostering connections, and increasing visibility of
1342contributors from underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you are a
1343prospective contributor wondering what an inclusive community looks
1344like, a project contributor wanting to take concrete steps to improve
1345your project's outreach, or a project leader looking to create a
1346diversity strategy for your community, this talk will have the
1347information you need. Marina will share best practices and inspiring
1348stories from her years of experience in free software diversity
1349outreach in roles including outreach specialist at Red Hat,
1350co-organizer of Outreachy, advisor and director for the Ada
1351Initiative, and outreach lead for GNOME.

1402 . Communication is
1403tightly coupled to the sense of liberty. Ring let users keep control
1404of their exchanges.
1405 </p>
1406 <p>
1407 It allows you to make audio or video calls, and to send messages - in
1408confidence and safely. Currently in an alpha version, Ring is even
1409more than that! Available on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, and Android,
1410it can be associated with a conventional phone service, integrated
1411with any connected device, and adapted to the specific needs of
1412users. It is a combination of technologies and innovations opening all
1413kinds of perspectives for everyone!

1416 During this presentation, you will understand how Ring is built to
1417respect privacy and how you can use it. You will also discover why it
1418is an essential tool for the future and how Ring defends freedom.

1445 Libreboot is a free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement for your
1446computer. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot
1447firmware that is 100% free software. The project is aimed at users,
1448attempting to make coreboot as easy to use as possible.

1451 The work done by the libreboot project (and its upstream, coreboot) is
1452extremely important. Many people are using a free operating system,
1453but most of them are relying on proprietary boot firmware to start
1454their machine. Libreboot exists to provide a distribution of coreboot
1455that is entirely free software, with the same goals as the GNU project
1456and others in providing users the means to achieve freedom in their
1457computing.

1525 Your workplace can exert a lot of control over how much free software
1526you use, what you're allowed to work on in your own time and what
1527kinds of tools you become an expert in. New employees don't always
1528negotiate their contracts to make sure they can continue contributing
1529to free software and current employees aren't always successful at
1530advocating for using free software tools, choosing free software
1531technologies or contributing changes back upstream when they do rely
1532on free software. We'll address what's possible, what your legal
1533department is likely to be concerned about and how to be a smooth
1534negotiator at work. Many companies could benefit tremendously from
1535using FOSS, but free software enthusiasts and institutional
1536gatekeepers are coming from very different perspectives. Free software
1537developers and users tend to be most familiar with free software's
1538benefits when compared to proprietary solutions; user freedom, reusing
1539code, public code review for bugs, increased project capacity and
1540cost. The uninitiated may -- unfortunately -- be most familiar with
1541the risks, some real and some perceived. Employers also benefit from
1542having workers who are passionate about their work, are well-connected
1543to the free software community and are constantly learning about new
1544technologies from their peers outside the company, but new employee
1545contracts rarely recognize this unless you ask. Conversations about
1546contracts, choosing new technologies and sharing an employee's work
1547with another entity are high stakes negotiations. With a solid
1548understanding of what worries and motivates the other parties, you can
1549become a savvy advocate for free software at work. This talk will help
1550you gather information, frame the conversation and make the best
1551possible case for using and contributing to free software at work.

1582 In fiction, we have often faced our fear that man-made creatures will
1583become smart enough to subjugate us. As technology evolves, the
1584Singularity may seem an inevitable looming future, but such
1585intelligent beings have actually been with us for a very long
1586time. Over many decades, they disabled the checks intended to keep
1587them under our control, and turned most of us into their much-needed
1588servants, who now live in an artificial reality they created to
1589control us, while our planet can hardly support our life much
1590longer. These creatures grew more powerful and smarter with our
1591technological advances, but then they sent their agents back to
1592disable our defenses and the leaders of our resistance, turning many
1593of our tools and much of our infrastructure against us. They vaporized
1594our freedoms, and a dark cloud now covers most of the planet. We still
1595have one card left up our sleeves to tame these creatures, but we need
1596more Neos and Connors to play it successfully. Are you up for it?

dbb1000a 1627 Imagine a world where surveillance is the default and users must opt-in to privacy. Imagine that your every action is logged and analyzed to learn how you behave, what your interests are, and what you might do next. Imagine that, even on your fully free operating system, proprietary software is automatically downloaded and run not only without your consent, but often without your knowledge. In this world, even free software cannot be easily modified, shared, or replaced. In many cases, you might not even be in control of your own computing -- your actions and your data might be in control by a remote entity, and only they decide what you are and are not allowed to do.

dbb1000a 1630 This may sound dystopian, but this is the world you're living in right now. The Web today is an increasingly hostile, freedom-denying place that propagates to nearly every aspect of the average users' lives -- from their PCs to their phones, to their TVs and beyond. But before we can stand up and demand back our freedoms, we must understand what we're being robbed of, how it's being done, and what can (or can't) be done to stop it.

1782 Digital resources such as software programs can be easily copied and
1783shared, but distribution is restrained by technical, legal, and
1784cultural means. The free culture community is not the first to fight
1785"artificial scarcity." What can we learn from other communities and

1789 This presentation will be a series of case studies covering a variety
1790of other forms of artificial scarcity, including food waste, housing
1791vacancy, and the destruction of excess retail merchandise. We'll focus
1792on efforts to combat this scarcity, highlighting what's worked and
1793drawing lessons from what hasn't.
1794 </p>
1795 <p>
1796 By exploring the connections between free culture and other
1797anti-scarcity movements, we'll find new approaches, new allies, and
1798new opportunities to stand up for the public commons.

1884 Academic Institutions and their researchers are some of the biggest
1885beneficiaries of free software development. While individual
1886researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do
1887so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of
1888their academic careers. At CUNY, we have taken steps to change this
1889unacceptable situation. Please come to this session and exchange ideas
1890and strategies for having contribtions to free software valued by the
1891University.

1921data trail and the intelligence community itself is no exception --

1968 Gender and racial diversity initiatives have been an important social
1969force in the free software movement in the last several years. These
1970social justice campaigns have been successful: see for example
1971PyCon. However, those further marginalized, such as transgender
1972hackers, may not feel properly included in these initiatives. They
1973have turned to free software as a model for their own liberation as
1974well as a way to critique the culture of the status quo and mainstream
1975diversity initiatives.

2018 Blender is a versatile Free 3D animation program that is most famously
2019used as an artist tool. However, it also has a rich, pythonic and
2020consistent api that allows extending and controlling the
2021application. We'll explore techniques to use this api for creating 3D
2022meshes, that could be a foundation/ inspiration for generative

2080 The license compliance industry purportedly helps information
2081technology companies and other actors to use publicly available
2082software, and in particular free software, in a way that is compliant
2083with the relevant free software licenses. In this talk we will review
2084why the license compliance industry exists and discuss, from an
2085external point of view, how it operates. We will then highlight some
2086potential ethical issues on the current best practices for license
2087compliance in the industry, and propose community-oriented
2088alternatives that we can build, today, on top of the existing corpus
2089of publicly available free software.
