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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<p><a href="https://degooglisons-internet.org/?l=en">Project "De-google-ify
Internet"</a> aims at offering
as many alternative services as possible to those threatening our
digital freedoms. Google is not the only player there, even though it
gave the project its name. Google Drive, Google Calendar, Skype,
Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Doodle, Yahoo Groups, and many
others, are extremely convenient services. But they are centralized
and make users dependent.</p>
<p>Framasoft are resisting this trend. They have come up with a several
year roadmap to set up alternative services. These services are
thought of as digital commons. They are free, gratis, and open to
all. Framasoft is a French not-for-profit whose goal is to
decentralize the Internet by promoting self-hosting. They work to
empower everyone to install and run their own services. The project
already offers more than 15 alternative services and welcomes about
1,000,000 visits per month.  </p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>I'll cover how users can protect themselves while browsing, why some
solutions are better than others, and why free software licenses have
helped provide a rich ecosystem of non-proprietary tools. From Ad

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

<p>Librarians have long been defenders of democratic ideals like free
speech and privacy, not only providing access to information and
technology freely, but also by fighting back against threats to civil
liberties like the USA PATRIOT Act and National Security Letters. In
the post-Snowden era, libraries have taken this activism further and are
teaching FLOSS privacy-enhancing technologies to their patrons in free
computer classes, and installing these tools on library PCs. Nima Fatemi
and Alison Macrina of Library Freedom Project will talk about how LFP
kickstarted this movement of radical crypto-librarians, and how FLOSS
tools like Tor Browser, Signal, OTR, GPG, and Tails are being deployed
and taught in libraries to an overwhelmingly positive reception. Nima
and Alison will also discuss LFP's newest project, bringing Tor exit
relays into libraries, what happened when the Department of Homeland
Security tried to shut down that project at a small New Hampshire
library – and how the local and global community fought back and won.</p>

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

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

<p>The first day of LibrePlanet 2016 marks the third anniversary of
Register of Copyright's emphatic call for a comprehensive rewrite of
the United States Copyright Act -- the first such effort
since 1976. Congress has taken up the charge, holding dozens of
hearings and floating multiple bills. Meanwhile, trade negotiations
and extralegal agreements have changed the state of play. Where does
it all stand, and what can activists looking for common sense reform
do next? This session will describe recent progress and the lay of the
land on copyright terms, the public domain, DRM laws, policy
laundering, fair use, and more topics of immediate interest to the
free software community. It will describe activism efforts underway to
defend the rights of the public as legislation gets proposed. Finally,
it will foolishly attempt to predict the future. Will we see a Next
Great Copyright Act?</p>

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

tightly coupled to the sense of liberty. Ring let users keep control
of their exchanges.</p>
<p>It allows you to make audio or video calls, and to send messages - in
confidence and safely. Currently in an alpha version, Ring is even
more than that! Available on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, and Android,
it can be associated with a conventional phone service, integrated
with any connected device, and adapted to the specific needs of
users. It is a combination of technologies and innovations opening all
kinds of perspectives for everyone!</p>
<p>During this presentation, you will understand how Ring is built to
respect privacy and how you can use it. You will also discover why it
is an essential tool for the future and how Ring defends freedom.</p>

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

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

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

<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>
<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>

researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do
so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of

<p>The surveillance state is driven by secrecy. But everything leaves a
data trail and the intelligence community itself is no exception --
even the NSA is vulnerable to surveillance. Transparency Toolkit is a
free software project that helps anyone investigate surveillance
programs.</p>
<p>By making tools to help collect and analyze publicly available data
like resumes, job listings, social media, and government contracts, we
are using free software and open data to track and expose the
surveillance state. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the interesting
things we've found, how Transparency Toolkit's software works, and how
people can use our tools to investigate issues they care about.</p>

<p>Gender and racial diversity initiatives have been an important social
force in the free software movement in the last several years. These
social justice campaigns have been successful: see for example
PyCon. However, those further marginalized, such as transgender
hackers, may not feel properly included in these initiatives. They
have turned to free software as a model for their own liberation as
well as a way to critique the culture of the status quo and mainstream
diversity initiatives.</p>
<p>This talk, co-given by a trans hacker and an anthropologist,
highlights how free software offers powerful models and critiques of
the lack of gender diversity in the free software movement by
retelling several ethnographic stories of a free software project led
by and comprised of trans women.</p>
<p>By presenting these ethnographic stories we wish to springboard with
the audience a conversation of the value of challenges from below to
diversity initiatives in free software and the tech industry at large.</p>

<p>Blender is a versatile Free 3D animation program that is most famously
used as an artist tool. However, it also has a rich, pythonic and
consistent api that allows extending and controlling the
application. We'll explore techniques to use this api for creating 3D
meshes, that could be a foundation/ inspiration for generative
architecture or art.</p>
<p>Familiarity with Blender is not required (but recommended) and at
least a basic knowledge of Python would be helpful for this workshop.</p>

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

<p>Through our Defective by Design campaign, the Free Software Foundation is organizing against a proposal by Hollywood and major software companies to weave DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) into Web standards. The campaign is coming to a head this year, as the proposed restriction standards near a final decision by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).</p>
<p>The session will start with an overview of the campaign's history. Then we'll have a collaborative brainstorming session to explore future directions for the campaign, what victory would look like, how to mobilize other groups and which media outlets we should focus on. Participants will leave the session with a sense of the FSF's campaign tactics and new opportunities for involvement in the campaign.</p>
