102 | <p>User freedom is threatened by the growing complexity of current | |
103 | deployment and packaging directions. Running software (especially | |
e61f9182 ZR |
104 | server/networked software) is becoming too hard for the average user, |
105 | so many users are turning to the dangerous path of relying on large | |

106 | corporations to do their computing for them. What can GNU do to turn |
107 | the tide here? Enter GNU Guix and GuixSD! This talk will walk | |

aa062ce5 | 109 | reproducible systems. A path will be laid out on how Guix could be |

131 | <p>The bad news is that educational technology has largely failed to |
132 | deliver on its promise. Its focus on efficiency rather than on learning | |
133 | has resulted in a further reinforcement of education as a system of | |
134 | instruction to curricula rather than one of student-driven construction | |
135 | of knowledge.</p> | |
136 | <p>The good news is that Free/Libre Software is the starting point towards | |
137 | a solution--not just because it tends to focus on putting powerful tools | |
138 | into the hands of its end-users, but also because Free/Libre Software | |
139 | espouses a culture of doing and sharing in a context of critique, | |
140 | reflection, and personal responsibility.</p> | |
141 | <p>In this session, we will review some tangible ways in which Free/Libre | |
142 | Software is having and can have a positive impact on education and some | |
143 | things we can and should be doing better. We will then discuss | |
144 | strategies for advocating for Free/Libre Software in education systems | |
145 | both in the US and globally. The next generation of computer users are | |
146 | in school today. We need to ensure that the next generation is empowered | |
147 | to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by Free/Libre Software.</p> | |

203 | some new users and contributors in free software, so that in outreach |

230 | <p>Our movement rarely talks about freedom with much philosophical | |
e61f9182 ZR |
231 | nuance. In this talk, I'll try to put some flesh on the bones of |
232 | freedom by giving an introduction to Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's | |
233 | capability approach, and applying it to software. The capability | |
234 | approach (sometimes called the human development approach) is a | |
235 | framework for thinking about human freedom that, since its development | |
236 | in the early 90s, has been applied across a broad range of | |
237 | philosophical, economic, and policy problems. Focused on what options | |
238 | a person has to reach their goals, it is well-suited for understanding | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
239 | where we succeed - and fail! - at actually freeing people.</p> |
240 | <p>Talk attendees should come away with a more nuanced understanding of | |
e61f9182 | 241 | software freedom, how to talk about it with others, and where to focus |
aa062ce5 ZR |

262 | <p>The MAME Project's main stated goal is to preserve historical computer | |
e61f9182 | 263 | hardware. The strategy for achieving that objective is to inspect the |
e3bfa5f3 | 264 | devices and then develop emulators for them. While most hardware is |
e61f9182 ZR |
265 | undocumented and relies on proprietary firmware, the MAME development |
266 | community has nurtured strong reverse engineering practices since its | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
267 | origins back in 1997.</p> |
268 | <p>The techniques that we need to master in order to develop new | |
e61f9182 ZR |
269 | emulators include reverse engineering procedures that are also very |
270 | useful for aiding in the creation of free firmware solutions to | |
271 | replace the non-free blobs used in a broad variety of daily-use | |
272 | devices. These skills are also useful for the development of free | |
273 | drivers for undocumented devices and in the porting of operating | |
274 | systems and BIOSes to new hardware platforms. We need to strengthen a | |
275 | community of skillful hardware reverse engineers so that we can solve | |
276 | the freedom issues denounced by projects such as Linux-Libre and | |

335 | <p>Copyleft has faced serious challenges in the last five years. It's not | |
e61f9182 ZR |
336 | over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these |
337 | attacks on copyleft come when "open source" reaches new heights of | |
338 | success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full | |
339 | time to churn out new free software, as long as it's not | |
340 | copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
341 | existing, widely used, copylefted programs.</p> |
342 | <p>Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel | |
e61f9182 ZR |
343 | named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license |
344 | violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major | |
345 | companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
346 | situation is undoubtedly bleak.</p> |
347 | <p>Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once | |
e61f9182 ZR |
348 | assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt |
349 | the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
350 | developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.</p> |

370 | <p>We want to share experiencies around Mexican social movements | |
e61f9182 ZR |
371 | migrating to free software and/or using other free tools. People of |
372 | different social processes are increasingly adopting FLOSS in their | |
373 | daily activity to communicate and organize. Most of the motivation | |
374 | came from digital security awareness but some times it goes a little | |
375 | further (like be congruence with the defense of human rights). In the | |
376 | way of facilitating those processes we have seen some advantages and | |
377 | disadvantages and receive some feedback we want to share with the rest | |
378 | of the community. Specially interesting for developers and technical | |
379 | facilitators who want to share their own experiences in this topics | |
380 | and strengthen links between FLOSS technical communities and Latin | |
381 | American social movements. Intend to generate some ideas for improving | |
382 | the linkages between both spaces not only for the software itself but | |
383 | emphasizing the political aspects they share and how to empower | |

384 | grassroots movements using free/libre tools.</p> |

403 | <p>Patents, copyright and trademarks are sometimes conflated, and can all |
404 | limit your freedoms to control your computing and lives. For right, we | |
405 | have an answer - copyleft. Patents are being fought on a number of | |
406 | fronts, and work continues. However, trademarks can also seriously | |
407 | hinder progress as well.</p> | |
408 | <p>Due to some specific clauses in the implementation of trademarks, it's | |
409 | hard to allow people to use the 'brand' without the potential for losing | |
410 | it. We need an easy and understood way of bringing the freedoms the GPL | |
411 | ensures to this third leg of intellectual property law.</p> | |
412 | <p>This talk will set out the background and problems with trademark | |
413 | implementation, how it's being (mis)used, and thoughts for what we need | |
414 | in the future.</p> | |

807 | <p>Librarians have long been defenders of democratic ideals like free |
808 | speech and privacy, not only providing access to information and | |
809 | technology freely, but also by fighting back against threats to civil | |
810 | liberties like the USA PATRIOT Act and National Security Letters. In | |

840 | <p>By sheer luck and opportunity, a group of four doctors in 2004 at a | |
e61f9182 | 841 | restaurant used napkins to sketch the data model of what they thought |
aa062ce5 ZR |
842 | would be a simple electronic medical records system.</p> |
843 | <p>Fast track to today, this simple medical records system is known as | |
e61f9182 ZR |
844 | OpenMRS (Open Medical Record System), a free medical records system in |
845 | use in over 42 countries in the world. For example, when Google worked | |
846 | on the ‘Ebola tablet’ under project Buendia, OpenMRS powered it. After | |
847 | the national disaster in Haiti struck, OpenMRS powered the new | |
848 | Mirebalais hospital. Six countries committed to deploy OpenMRS as | |
849 | their national EMR system including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, | |
850 | Philippines and Bangladesh. OpenMRS has never hired developers for the | |
851 | decade of existence, yet every single day people from all over the | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
852 | world come to our platform and ask us how can they get involved?</p> |

902 | <p>The free software movement has done well in the last few years, and | |
e61f9182 ZR |
903 | has even inspired a new generation of activists advocating for |
904 | software freedom. However, in a software-driven society where | |
905 | everything from cars, watches, and even medical devices run on | |
906 | non-free software, the free software community has its work cut out | |
907 | for it. In order to enact significant social change, we need to work | |
908 | with legislators, other activists, and local community leaders. Their | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
909 | help is crucial.</p> |
910 | <p>How do we connect our community to other groups? In order to gain | |
e61f9182 ZR |
911 | support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on |
912 | how non-free software can affect their everyday lives negatively. Even | |
913 | the most non-technical person can become engaged with the social and | |
914 | technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session | |
915 | will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software | |
916 | movement can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society | |

1054 | <p>Libreboot - free software BIOS replacement (boot firmware), based on | |
1055 | coreboot, for laptops and servers, and x86 (Intel/AMD) and ARM hardware.</p> | |
1056 | <p>Libreboot is a free software BIOS replacement (boot firmware), based | |
1057 | on coreboot, for Intel, AMD and ARM based systems. Backed by the Free | |
1058 | Software Foundation, the aim of the Libreboot project is to provide | |
1059 | individuals and companies with an escape from proprietary firmware in | |
1060 | their computing. Libreboot is also being reviewed for entry as an | |
1061 | official component of the GNU system.</p> | |
1062 | <p>Boot firmware is the low-level software that runs when you turn your | |
1063 | computer on, which initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader | |
1064 | for your operating system. Libreboot currently supports laptops and | |
1065 | servers, on x86 (Intel and AMD) and ARM (Rockchip RK3288), with more | |
1066 | hardware support on the horizon. The purpose of this talk is to | |
1067 | describe the history of the project, why it started, why it's | |
1068 | important, where it's going and, most importantly, to tell people how | |
1069 | they can get involved.</p> | |
1070 | <p>Francis also runs the Minifree (formerly Gluglug) at | |
1071 | <a href="https://minifree.org/">https://minifree.org/</a>, a company that sells computers with libreboot | |

1108 | <p>Your workplace can exert a lot of control over how much free software | |
e61f9182 ZR |
1109 | you use, what you're allowed to work on in your own time and what |
1110 | kinds of tools you become an expert in. New employees don't always | |
1111 | negotiate their contracts to make sure they can continue contributing | |
1112 | to free software and current employees aren't always successful at | |
1113 | advocating for using free software tools, choosing free software | |
1114 | technologies or contributing changes back upstream when they do rely | |
1115 | on free software. We'll address what's possible, what your legal | |
1116 | department is likely to be concerned about and how to be a smooth | |
1117 | negotiator at work. Many companies could benefit tremendously from | |
e3bfa5f3 | 1118 | using FLOSS, but free software enthusiasts and institutional |
e61f9182 ZR |
1119 | gatekeepers are coming from very different perspectives. Free software |
1120 | developers and users tend to be most familiar with free software's | |
1121 | benefits when compared to proprietary solutions; user freedom, reusing | |
1122 | code, public code review for bugs, increased project capacity and | |
1123 | cost. The uninitiated may -- unfortunately -- be most familiar with | |
1124 | the risks, some real and some perceived. Employers also benefit from | |
1125 | having workers who are passionate about their work, are well-connected | |
1126 | to the free software community and are constantly learning about new | |
1127 | technologies from their peers outside the company, but new employee | |
1128 | contracts rarely recognize this unless you ask. Conversations about | |
1129 | contracts, choosing new technologies and sharing an employee's work | |
1130 | with another entity are high stakes negotiations. With a solid | |
1131 | understanding of what worries and motivates the other parties, you can | |
1132 | become a savvy advocate for free software at work. This talk will help | |
1133 | you gather information, frame the conversation and make the best | |
aa062ce5 ZR |
1134 | possible case for using and contributing to free software at work.</p> |

1154 | <p>In fiction, we have often faced our fear that man-made creatures will | |
e61f9182 ZR |
1155 | become smart enough to subjugate us. As technology evolves, the |
1156 | Singularity may seem an inevitable looming future, but such | |
1157 | intelligent beings have actually been with us for a very long | |
1158 | time. Over many decades, they disabled the checks intended to keep | |
1159 | them under our control, and turned most of us into their much-needed | |
1160 | servants, who now live in an artificial reality they created to | |
1161 | control us, while our planet can hardly support our life much | |
1162 | longer. These creatures grew more powerful and smarter with our | |
1163 | technological advances, but then they sent their agents back to | |
1164 | disable our defenses and the leaders of our resistance, turning many | |
1165 | of our tools and much of our infrastructure against us. They vaporized | |
1166 | our freedoms, and a dark cloud now covers most of the planet. We still | |
1167 | have one card left up our sleeves to tame these creatures, but we need | |

1188 | <p>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.</p> | |
1189 | <p>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.</p> | |

1427 | <p>Gender and racial diversity initiatives have been an important social | |
e61f9182 ZR |
1428 | force in the free software movement in the last several years. These |
1429 | social justice campaigns have been successful: see for example | |
1430 | PyCon. However, those further marginalized, such as transgender | |
1431 | hackers, may not feel properly included in these initiatives. They | |
1432 | have turned to free software as a model for their own liberation as | |
1433 | well as a way to critique the culture of the status quo and mainstream | |
