DESCRIPTION:As free software activists\, do we focus on our own project-ba\r
 sed communities or should we be looking outside? If free software is to su\r
 cceed (forever!) I believe we need to do both. Maintaining our ideals as w\r
 e take free software to new places\, introduce it to new people\, and bend\r
  it to new purposes depends on our willingness to grow both individually a\r
 nd collectively. Change is never simple so I hope that we will be gentle w\r
 ith each other as we try new things and work to build an even bigger movem\r
 ent.\r

DESCRIPTION:A battle is underway at the US Department of Defense (DoD) to \r
 improve the way DoD develops\, secures\, and deploys software. The Nationa\r
 l Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is not common reading for most people\,\r
  but buried within the DoD’s 2\,000-page budget authorization is a provi\r
 sion to free source code. The lively history behind this provision is simu\r
 ltaneously frustrating and encouraging\, with private industry giants\, Co\r
 ngress\, and other federal agencies jockeying around the effort to free th\r
 e code at DoD. Come listen to this important\, but perhaps lesser known\, \r
 chapter of the free software narrative\, and learn how a small group of im\r
 passioned digital service experts are defying all odds to continue the fig\r
 ht for free software adoption.\r

DESCRIPTION:Modern vehicles are nodes on a network with a high degree of a\r
 utonomy. As they've become more connected\, they've incorporated more free\r
  software. But the fundamentally proprietary nature of car and truck manuf\r
 acturers has led to regulatory and compliance issues that have unclear out\r
 comes. The outcomes are increasingly pertinent to software freedom\, espec\r
 ially as the use of free software shifts domains from consumer-focused to \r
 safety-critical. This session will discuss problems around modern vehicles\r

 t/ecosystem for document preparation. The presentation is intended for a g\r
 eneral audience who have no prior knowledge of LaTeX\, but are interested \r
 in creating beautiful electronic documents (manual\, slides\, letters\, et\r
 c.). We will answer the following questions: When can LaTeX be a good choi\r
 ce? How do you get started with LaTeX? How do you migrate existing non-LaT\r
 eX documents (Markdown\, OpenDocument\, etc.) to LaTeX?\r

DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will reconstruct a real 3D object using a\r
  camera and free software! Photogrammetry is the reconstruction of 3D info\r
 rmation about objects from a photograph or multiple photographs -- like 3D\r
  scanning but with cameras. While closed source tools to do this are quite\r
  well marketed and hyped\, it might come as a surprise that we can accompl\r
 ish similar results with free software. The workshop will go over some of \r
 these tools\, and their use and installation\, and participants should be \r
 able to go home and do the same with their own computers and cameras. Some\r
  familiarity with command line tools\, software installation\, and 3D grap\r
 hics might help\, but the workshop should be understandable to people with\r
  any level of technical ability. Please bring your own laptop and\, if you\r
  have one\, a camera.\r

DESCRIPTION:If you develop or distribute software of any kind\, you are vu\r
 lnerable to whole categories of attacks upon yourself or your loved ones. \r
 This includes blackmail\, extortion or "just" simple malware injection! By\r
  targeting software developers such as yourself\, malicious actors\, inclu\r
 ding nefarious governments\, can infect and attack thousands -- if not mil\r
 lions -- of end users. How can we prevent these disasters? The idea behind\r
  reproducible builds is to allow verification that no flaws have been intr\r
 oduced during build processes\; this prevents against the installation of \r
 backdoor-introducing malware on developers' machines\, ensuring attempts a\r
 t extortion and other forms of subterfuge are quickly uncovered and thus u\r
 ltimately futile. Through a story of three different developers\, this tal\r
 k will engage you on this growing threat to you\, and how it affects every\r
 one involved in the production lifecycle of software development\, as well\r
  as how reproducible builds can help prevent against it.\r

 y\, and reasons\, to write random data prior to setting up encrypted stora\r

 fferences between using free and non-free software\, especially those rela\r

  recent proposed/enacted policies and laws. We will also briefly discuss t\r

DESCRIPTION:The ambition of the Software Heritage project is to collect\, \r
 preserve\, and share the entire body of free software that is published on\r
  the Internet in source code form\, together with its development history.\r
  Since its public announcement in 2016\, the project has assembled the lar\r
 gest collection of freely available software source code for about 4 billi\r
 on unique source code files and 900 million commits\, coming from more tha\r
 n 60 million projects. Initially focused on the collection and preservatio\r
 n goals -- which were at the time urgent\, due to the recurrent disappeara\r
 nces of development forges -- Software Heritage has since rolled out sever\r
 al mechanisms to peruse its archive\, making progress on the sharing goal.\r
  In this talk\, we will review the status of the Software Heritage project\r
 \, emphasizing how users and developers can\, today\, benefit from the ava\r
 ilability of a great public library of source code.\r

 left was invented to solve the many problems of project governance\, assur\r
 ing the rights of users and creating equal footing for all contributors. T\r
 he licensing infrastructure today also has increased in complexity\, with \r
 proprietary relicensing business models\, excessive use of CLAs\, and tric\r

DESCRIPTION:Embedded devices are all around us\, and have become deeply "e\r
 mbedded" into our daily lives: from microcontrollers to "smart"-watches\, \r
 routers\, and televisions\, they are all around us. Many of us don't think\r
  twice about the root of control in these devices\, or even the software t\r
 hat runs on them. In some cases\, manufacturers lock users out from contro\r
 lling these devices\, and cause a security nightmare when they stop suppor\r
 ting them. This session will cover a wide range of topics including: what \r
 libreCMC is\, the project's goals / developments\, and why free software i\r
 s crucial in securing control and freedom in embedded devices.\r

DESCRIPTION:Many things in life come with limitations -- often because we \r
 don't have unlimited time\, energy\, or other resources. But software ofte\r
 n feels like it should be an exception\, because it's immaterial and weigh\r
 tless\, built from scratch out of logic. It doesn't literally rust or rot.\r
  So idealistic software developers have consistently envisioned software s\r
 ystems that will escape the shortcomings that frustrate users. Meanwhile\,\r
  researchers keep discovering kinds of tradeoffs that seem to be built int\r
 o the very structure of certain problems\; as the Rolling Stones said\, "Y\r
 ou can't always get what you want." Inherent tradeoffs have popped up in p\r
 olitical science\, computer science\, and even ethical philosophy\, with c\r
 onjectures and often formal proofs that\, in various regards\, can't be we\r
 dged into any system that will give people all that they want out of it. L\r
 imitative theorems are now a major research theme\, and more are being fou\r
 nd all the time. These tradeoffs seem to have very practical consequences\\r
 , among other things\, for privacy and anonymity software\, and for social\r
  networks: each design may have to give up things some users value in orde\r
 r to achieve other goals. Thinking about these limitations and what they d\r
 o or don't mean can help inform discussions of software design\, especiall\r
 y for communications tools whose value depends on broad adoption. And we'r\r
 e having to get used to the idea that in some ways\, we'll never create pe\r
 rfect software.\r

DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2017\, software powering the critical infrast\r
 ructure of Ukraine came to a grinding halt after the country was hit with \r
 a surgically precise targeted cyber attack. A malware virus called NotPety\r
 a irreversibly encrypted the files of hundreds of thousands of computers. \r
 The impact was devastating: the Chernobyl radiation moderating system was \r
 shut down\, governmental institutions lost access to critical data\, and t\r
 he total damage was estimated to cost over $100 million. This example\, am\r
 ong others\, points to an increasing weaponization of vulnerabilities in p\r
 roprietary software to accomplish these attacks. This session explores the\r
  ways in which proprietary software acts as a catalyst for the spread of c\r
 yber attacks\, and will explore the use of free software and how it can be\r
  used to build resilient\, virus-resistant digital infrastructure.\r

  all. This talk will have a look at some of the challenges that GNOME and \r
 free software desktops face at the moment\, a brief look into a possible f\r

DESCRIPTION:When you think of free software\, what things come to mind? Fr\r
 eedom\, obviously\, but what others? A shared community? An open culture? \r
 Within free software culture\, there is a perception and expectation of op\r
 enness and collaboration within the community: all are welcome to the tabl\r
 e\, and your contributions speak for you. When you get outside the communi\r
 ty by enough\, however\, the answer changes. Contemptuous\, confusing\, el\r
 itist\, and abrasive are words that some outsiders use to describe free so\r
 ftware communities. Some go out of their way to avoid the communities we'v\r
 e worked so hard to build. Why? In this talk\, I'll look at some of root c\r
 auses of these opinions and attitudes\, as well as how to solve some them \r
 and make our communities more approachable by outsiders by using real-worl\r
 d examples of the good\, bad\, and the ugly. Building off a decade of comm\r
 unity involvement on the fringe of free software\, plus an academic focus \r
 in organizational and community communications\, I'll help us make free so\r
 ftware a welcoming place for newcomers\, so we can all become strong advoc\r
 ates for free software!\r

DESCRIPTION:For nonprofits\, accepting credit card donations has become ea\r
 sier and easier\, whether through a donation processing company or directl\r
 y through a payment network like Stripe. Sadly\, though\, until now\, nonp\r
 rofits have had limited options: either accepting some non-free Javascript\r
  for an elegant donation experience with minimal PCI compliance rules\, or\r
  requiring complex integrations or PCI compliance burdens on the backend. \r
 Eric Schultz\, Lead Developer with CommitChange\, and core contributor to \r
 CommitChange.org\, the free donation processing and donation management sy\r
 stem running CommitChange\, highlights how nonprofits can use free softwar\r
 e to improve donor experience without compromising their mission. Addition\r
 ally\, Eric will discuss the history of CommitChange.org\, how it can be u\r
 sed for crowdfunding\, why it was licensed under the AGPL with a few uniqu\r
 e additional permissions\, and how nonprofits and their supporters can wor\r
 k together to improve fundraising software to improve people's lives.\r

DESCRIPTION:OBS Studio is a FLOSS application that puts you in the directo\r
 r's chair for live streaming or recording. It is built as an application t\r
 o help video game or creative streamers share their computer screens with \r
 a live audience\, but its power goes well beyond that. Anyone who is using\r
  their computer to tell a story can benefit from the professional touch th\r
 at OBS can provide. It can manage multiple capture devices\, independently\r
  combine captured window areas\, and overlay text and graphics. In this pr\r
 esentation\, I'll show you what this software can do\, and what you can do\r
  with it. A simple example: presenters often like to include their social \r
 media handle on their slides. When the presenter goes to the terminal\, th\r
 is isn't displayed. If the presenter uses OBS studio to control the projec\r
 tor display\, OBS studio can trivially be configured to overlay anything. \r
