 ses work on the front lines in Gaza to make medical devices accessible by
 creating free designs and validating them according to medical industry st
 andards. These efforts have been part of a larger initiative to lay a foun
 dation for a post-liberation Gaza in which FLOSS medical devices must comp

 a wide variety of governance structures are used in free software projects

 \," and beyond. This presentation provides a survey of existing governance

 stoppable ascendance of a few large corporations in computing. Everything
 seems to be increasingly centralized in such corporations (a trend popular
 ly called the "cloud\," although Richard Stallman has repeatedly criticize
 d the use of that buzzword). This presentation will explain why such centr
 alization and the triumph of first movers is facilitated by three technolo
 gical factors: the end of Moore's Law\, compiling complex algorithms into
 hardware (which may reach its climax in quantum computing)\, and the value
  of aggregating large amounts of data.

DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, Application Programming Interfaces (API
 s) have acted as the pillars of application development. They provide mech
 anisms which allow applications to communicate with each other. Developers
  can integrate various APIs into their code to create entirely new applica
 tions. Unfortunately\, users of an API are held hostage to the licensing o
 f its creator. If an API is not free software compliant\, then none of its
  users can build free software off of it. Using the Google Maps API as a c
 ase study\, we will examine the ethical and technological implications of
 providing open\, but not free\, access to an API.

DESCRIPTION:GPL enforcement is an integral part of software freedom\, but
 we lack systematic evidence on what kind of benefits successful enforcemen
 t can provide us. In this session\, I discuss a case in which GPL enforcem
 ent led to quantifiable benefits for customers: GPL violations by Cisco/Li
 nksys\, and the emergence of OpenWRT. In 2003\, Cisco/Linksys was found to
  be in violation of the GPL by distributing GNU/Linux source code with its
  WRT54G. Successful negotiations by the FSF led Cisco/Linksys to release s
 ource code\, creating a wide array of custom firmware projects.  In this t
 alk\, I collect data on wireless routers\, custom firmware compatibility\,
  and match this to Amazon.com reviews. I show that users value routers com
 patible with OpenWRT\, and that these products have higher reviews and sel
 l more. This talk highlights the importance of measuring the impact of GPL
  enforcement\, and shows how GPL enforcement can benefit customers.

DESCRIPTION:OpenStreetMap (OSM) began in 2004 as a reaction to the high co
 st of geospatial information. Initially data was mostly collected by handh
 eld GPS\, so the OSM of 2004 looks very different from the OSM of 2019. OS
 M is still powered by individual mappers collecting data\, but the variety
  of ways the information is created and the ways it is used and distribute
 d has expanded greatly. This talk will briefly review the history of OSM\,
  why it is so important\, how it has changed\, and where it might be heade
 d in the future.

 ct. No code will be appropriate in all contexts\; free software projects'
 needs and cultures differ enough so that no single code of conduct can cov
 er them all. Groups need to establish their own codes\, according to their
  needs and current culture. Before arguing what codes of conduct should sa
 y\, how they should be implemented\, and who should enforce them\, we need
  to consider what these codes might protect and why. Then\, in the future\
 , any given group might think better about criteria for proposed communica
 tion guidelines or codes of conduct.

 users and developers. Users use software\, while developers write it. How
 does one transition between just using software and making it? One easy wa

DESCRIPTION:Free software will not win by "merely" replacing proprietary s
 oftware. We need to lead with a vision of how the world could be. A volunt
 ary community\, one where people participate by choice\, does not have to
 replicate the power structures\, gatekeeping\, or casual cruelty of the sy
 stems it seeks to replace. We could make free software the most empowering
  place to build software. Free software tools could enable new ways of cra
 fting user experiences that proprietary software providers seem unwilling
 to offer. Free software could transform the relationship between users and
  developers\, so that users feel like partners instead of sales metrics. F
 ree software communities should be seeking to outdo proprietary software's
  methods and social norms in every possible way. We've made a great start
 by empowering many technical and semi-technical users\, but we can't stop
 there. (What kind of utopia only has coders in it?) Let's build a kinder a
 nd more practical free software movement to empower all kinds of people!

  risks of placing too much trust in software and hardware designers with i

DESCRIPTION:Words like "wizardry" and "incantation" have long been used to
  describe skillful computational feats. But neither computers nor their us
 ers are performing feats of magic\; for systems to think\, we must tell th
 em how. Today\, users most often follow a carefully choreographed workflow
  that thinks for them\, limited by a narrow set of premeditated possibilit
 ies. But there exist concepts that offer virtually no limits on freedom of
  expression or thought\, blurring the distinction between "user" and "prog
 rammer." This session demonstrates a range of practical possibilities when
  a machine acts as an extension of the user's imagination\, for the techni
 cal and nontechnical alike.

DESCRIPTION:We are living in a society where -- as mere individuals -- it
 seems out of our control and in the hands of those who have the power to p
 ublish and distribute information swiftly and widely\, or who can refuse t
 o publish or distribute information. Algorithms now sort us into Global da
 tabases like PRISM or ECHELON\, and there are devices such as StingRay cel
 l phone trackers used to categorize our every movement.  We may build our
 own profiles online\, but we do not have access to the meta-profile built
 by the corporate entities that our queries traverse as we navigate online\
 , purchasing goods and services as well as logging into sites where we hav
 e accounts. The level of intrusion into our most private thoughts should b
 e alarming\, yet most fail to heed the call as they feel small\, alone\, a
 nd unable to defy the scrutiny of disapproval from the powers that govern
 societal norms and their peers. Together\, we can change this. Micky will
 engage your mind on a journey to open an ongoing discussion to rediscover
 and reawaken your own creative thought processes. Together\, we build a co
 nversation that should never end as it will join us together transparently
  maintaining our freedoms\, with free software as the foundation. Where do
  we find our personal power\, and how do we use it as developers? Do we ha
 ve a collective goal? Have you checked your social credit rating lately? O
 thers have.
