31SUMMARY:Technopolice: One year of activism against surveillance techno\r
32 logies\r
33DESCRIPTION:Technopolice is a French movement aiming to\r
34 analyze and document the spread of surveillance\r
35 technologies in our cities and lives, in order to defend\r
36 civil rights and liberties. The movement was initiated by\r
37 La Quadrature du Net in 2019, and was followed by other\r
38 organizations and individuals in a decentralized way. In\r
39 this talk we will go through:\n\n - one year of study and\r
40 activism in the Technopolice movement;\n\n - how we\r
41 collectively gather information on these ongoning\r
42 projects;\n\n - how we legally, technically, ethically and\r
43 socially analyze and debate on them;\n\n - how we try to\r
44 make them visible and understandable to non-technical\r
45 users;\n\n - how people, artists, activists, and citizens\r
46 can resist;\n\n - how we can all spread the word, that\r
47 this is not our future, and not the one that we have\r
48 chosen;\n\n - how we value freedom, transparency,\r
49 ethics;\n\n - how we value common goods and that our\r
50 future is ours to build.\r

68DESCRIPTION:Software Heritage collects, preserves, and\r
69 shares software source code from major software\r
70 development forges, free software distributions, package\r
71 manager repositories, and more. As such, Software Heritage\r
72 is the premier digital preservation initiative whose goal\r
73 encompasses the long-term archival of free software\r
74 commons for generations to come.\n\nThe Software Heritage\r
75 archive is the largest publicly accessible archive of\r
76 software source code, having collected 10 billion unique\r
77 source code files and 2 billion unique commits from more\r
78 than 140 million software projects.\n\nThis talk will\r
79 provide an update about the Software Heritage project,\r
80 focusing on increased archive coverage, integration with\r
81 other initiatives, and way to practically use the archive,\r
82 for both end users and developers.\r

97SUMMARY:Bridging the digital divide in education with free software an\r
98 d hardware\r
99DESCRIPTION:In the current digital era, knowledge systems\r
100 are available and accessible in many forms digitally,\r
101 making learning a easier process for almost everyone who\r
102 has access to them. For instance, a primary school student\r
103 is able to work on electronics, robotics, and programming.\r
104 On the flipside, there are underprivileged students who do\r
105 not have access to even a basic computer due to lack of IT\r
106 infrastructure in their schools. This creates a digital\r
107 divide.\n\nTo bridge the divide, we can use free software\r
108 like GNU/Linux, free hardware designs, and freely licensed\r
109 educational materials. The BalaSwecha project makes use of\r
110 all these to develop a GNU/Linux distribution based on\r
111 interactive learning principles for children studying in\r
112 underprivileged and underfunded schools. The presentation\r
113 will deal about details and execution of this community\r
114 project.\r

130DESCRIPTION:This session will briefly address why free\r
131 software is important in education and provide examples of\r
132 how proprietary software is rapidly deployed in\r
133 schools.\n\n This presentation aims to help people:\n\n -\r
134 rise up against this injustice, big and small,\n\n - share\r
135 time and resources which will be shared by and for\r
136 participants,\n\n - provide a safe discussion space to\r
137 address issues in education,\n\n - generate ideas for how\r
138 to become active in their community to be included in an\r
139 Action Guide,\n\n - connect with others who are interested\r
140 in helping the cause for free software in education\r

156SUMMARY:Lessons Framasoft has learned\r
157DESCRIPTION:Framasoft is a small, French nonprofit, made up\r
158 of only thirty-five members and ten employees.\n\nWe've\r
159 been promoting free/libre software and its culture for\r
160 more than fifteen years. From a collaborative free\r
161 software directory to a publishing house, from hosting\r
162 more than thirty-five free/libre services (our Dégooglify\r
163 the Internet campaign) to initiating a libre hosts\r
164 collective (CHATONS), from PeerTube (free and federated\r
165 alternative to YouTube) to Mobilizon (same, but for\r
166 Facebook groups and events)...\n\nWe've tried a lot of\r
167 things to help change the world, one byte at the\r
168 time!\n\nWe want to share our experience outside of French\r
169 boarders, so it can be studied and (hopefully) copied and\r
170 adapted to other languages and cultures.\r

185SUMMARY:Freeing networks where we need freedom most\r
186DESCRIPTION:The struggle for the freedom of Internet is ever\r
187 growing. Corporations, and their partner in crime,\r
188 governments, come up with new clever ideas to restrict\r
189 free flow of information. Overlords of the truth are\r
190 trying to recover old control, which the Internet has\r
191 eroded everywhere in favor of the people.\n\nNetworking\r
192 and freedom of communication are meant to be great\r
193 equalizers. That would be true if carriers of\r
194 communication signals could come out of thin air. Like the\r
195 land and means of production, our signals depend on\r
196 existing infrastructure, and the lords who own them are an\r
197 obstacle to the freedom of the people. Freifunk is a\r
198 non-commercial, grassroots initiative to support free\r
199 computer networks in the German region. We try to apply\r
200 the same principles in Turkey, bringing power back to the\r
201 people.\r

236SUMMARY:"Logiciel libre, société libre": Free software activism in Fra\r
237 nce and Europe\r
238DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1996, April is the main French\r
239 advocacy association devoted to promoting and protecting\r
240 free/libre software. Since 1996, it has been a major\r
241 player in the democratization and the spread of free\r
242 software and open standards to the general public,\r
243 professionals and institutions in the French-speaking\r
244 world. It also acts as a watchdog on digital freedoms,\r
245 warning the public about the dangers of private interests\r
246 keeping an exclusive stranglehold on information and\r
247 knowledge.\n\nFree software cannot develop fully without a\r
248 benevolent political and legislative environment. That is\r
249 where April plays a crucial role in France and Europe,\r
250 along with allied organizations. Its actions, thanks to\r
251 its volunteers and its staff, are precious for everyone\r
252 who produces and/or uses free software. It is the\r
253 organization's small contribution to the free software\r
254 movement. Étienne Gonnu, an April staff member, will\r
255 present on how it operates, the current French and\r
256 European issues April is working on, and share future\r
257 perspectives, strategies, successes, and challenges.\r

272SUMMARY:The defense of the GNOME Foundation\r
273DESCRIPTION:In August 2019, GNOME was notified that it was\r
274 being sued in the state of California over a broad patent\r
275 which allegedly covered Shotwell, a photo management\r
276 application. The plaintiff? A prolific filer of patent\r
277 suits, and a patent assertion entity. This was the first\r
278 time that a free software project has been sued for patent\r
279 infringement.\n\nThis talk is the story from the executive\r
280 director of the GNOME Foundation, on how he responded and\r
281 the strategies taken to not only defeat the suit, but to\r
282 secure a groundbreaking agreement which means that this\r
283 particular PAE will never be able to sue any free software\r
284 project ever again.\r

300SUMMARY:Gamifying education the libre way\r
301DESCRIPTION:Gamification is a concept that has flourished in\r
302 the digital age. By leveraging the high interactivity and\r
303 enticing incentives of game design with tight feedback\r
304 loops, difficult concepts can be absorbed with little\r
305 effort. But can a complex and controversial topic such as\r
306 climate change be transformed into a fun and exciting\r
307 learning opportunity? In this talk, we will explore how\r
308 the philosophy of free software has been used to do\r
309 exactly that by showing what we did to create and modify\r
310 our own game and discuss how it can be applied in\r
311 empowering educators and students to gamify their own\r
312 interests.\r

332 to everyone is the best shot we’ve got at reducing e-waste\r
333 and starting to make our high-tech lives\r
334 sustainable.\n\nRight to repair is working to make that\r
335 happen--to restore a small amount of freedom to the\r
336 hardware world. We've introduced legislation in over 20\r
337 states and are pushing manufacturers to release schematics\r
338 and security patches for embedded systems.\n\nLearn the\r
339 latest in the fight from one of the leaders of the\r

341 most evil section of the DMCA, the dreaded Section 1201\r
342 that bans breaking encryption on hardware that you\r
343 rightfully own.\r

377SUMMARY:Manufactura Independente: 10 years of designing in the libre\r
378DESCRIPTION:In 2010, we started Manufactura Independente, a\r
379 space to develop our design practice using free/libre\r
380 software. At the time we had just finished our studies and\r
381 learnt the hard way how proprietary software and file\r
382 formats can own your work. While our first dip in the\r
383 waters was tough -- installing a new OS, understanding new\r
384 tools, rejecting proprietary options -- the path was\r
385 clear: we were in control, we became users, contributors\r
386 and owners of the tools we employed. With each project we\r
387 set out to explore tools and principles, going beyond\r
388 "open" towards a framing of copyleft and freedom in the\r
389 graphic arts. 10 years went by and we want to underscore\r
390 that anniversary by sharing our work, tools and stories of\r
391 how we grew to love the GNU, and how free software ideals\r
392 came to redefine our design practice, and are more\r
393 relevant than ever today.\r

408SUMMARY:Usable security for end-users: How Tor improves usability with\r
409 out compromising user privacy\r
410DESCRIPTION:The Tor network, used by 2.5 million users every\r
411 day, protects their privacy via “onion routing,” which\r
412 directs Internet traffic – email, instant messages, online\r
413 posts, Web form visits, and more – through a multilayered\r
414 network that obfuscates who the user is, thus concealing\r
415 their identity and location.\n\nBecause our design\r
416 prioritizes privacy, our tools gather very little\r
417 information about our users. Early in 2018, we began our\r
418 User Research Program, where we incorporated user research\r
419 as part of our outreach security trainings by doing\r
420 interviews and collecting user feedback on the tools we\r
421 taught participants during the training. So far, this\r
422 program has reached an audience of over 800 people in\r
423 countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, India, Indonesia,\r
424 Kenya and Uganda. The methods of conducting open user\r
425 research and collecting usability feedback mentioned above\r
426 have been informing design decisions in every stable Tor\r
427 Browser release since 7.5 (and we’re up to\r
428 10.0.2!).\n\nDuring this presentation we will share our\r
429 human-centered design methodologies and the impact they\r
430 had in releasing usable free software PET's.\r

446DESCRIPTION:Does your GPU work with free graphics drivers?\r
447 Nowadays, chances are good! What about with free firmware?\r
448 In this talk, we'll look at the state of free software for\r
449 graphics hardware: where we are, how far we've come, and\r
450 where we're going. We'll talk about why some vendors\r
451 support free software and tell the epic tales of\r
452 reverse-engineering the hardware of those that don't. Will\r
453 free software prevail?\n\nThe story of the free graphics\r
454 movement, complete with protagonist hackers, proprietary\r
455 antagonists, and plot twists on the road to freedom.\r

470SUMMARY:Adopting free software ideals\r
471DESCRIPTION:Adopting free software ideals can be confusing\r
472 and challenging for individuals, filled with cognitive\r
473 dissonance and questioning of practicality. Am I a bad\r
474 person if I use nonfree software? What example should I\r
475 set as a free software activist or advocate? How does that\r
476 relate to responsibilities of developers and\r
477 distributors?\n\nThis is a talk about practical ethics and\r
478 ideals. It is personal, drawing upon my experiences and\r
479 evolution over the past fifteen years. It contains some\r
480 awkward discussions that free software activists like to\r
481 avoid, and hopes to guide those seeking to adopt more free\r
482 software ideals, but fear they may not be able to meet\r
483 such high standards. It's a talk about evolution and\r
484 growth.\n\nBut complacency in the face of conflict can\r
485 also dilute our ideals. So this is also a talk about\r
486 balancing ideals in the context of one's own unique\r
487 circumstances, while at the same time preserving a strong\r
488 message about software freedom.\r

503SUMMARY:Jami and how it empowers users\r
504DESCRIPTION:Jami is free software for universal\r
505 communication which respects the freedoms and privacy of\r
506 its users. Jami is an official GNU package with a main\r
507 goal of providing a framework for virtual communications,\r
508 along with a series of end-user applications for\r
509 audio/video calling and conferencing, text messaging, and\r
510 file transfer.\n\nWith the outbreak of the COVID-19\r
511 pandemic, working from home has become the norm for many\r
512 workers around the world. More and more people are using\r
513 videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with their\r
514 loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed\r
515 by many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and\r
516 freedom of users.\n\nThis talk gives an introduction to\r
517 Jami, a free/libre, truly distributed, and peer-to-peer\r
518 solution, and explains why and how it differs from all\r
519 other existing solutions and how it empowers users.\r

601SUMMARY:The challenges of change for values-centered nonprofits\r
602DESCRIPTION:Organizational change is never easy. It can be\r
603 particularly challenging in values-centered non-profits,\r
604 where calls for healthy organizational change can be seen\r
605 as criticism or a threat to the core values. This\r
606 conversation between two long-time nonprofit leaders will\r
607 dive into organizational change at two tech- and\r
608 values-centered nonprofits, the Sunlight Foundation (where\r
609 former leaders were accused of sexual harassment) and at\r
610 the Wikimedia Foundation (where a sweeping strategic\r
611 process has resulted in a broader vision that goes beyond\r
612 free licensing to explicitly include equity). By seeing\r
613 how one organization tried to rebuild after crisis, and\r
614 another proactively reimagined its role in the broader\r
615 free ecosystem, attendees should come away with ideas for\r
616 how their own communities (small and large) can address\r
617 the past and look towards the future.\r

729DESCRIPTION:Free software licensing can be tiresome. But\r
730 setting the conditions for the use and reuse of your code\r
731 is extremely important. To make developers' lives easier,\r
732 there is the REUSE initiative. This presentation will\r
733 explain simple yet powerful best practices for defining\r
734 licenses and copyright holders.\n\nIn three easy steps,\r
735 you can make sure that for all files are labelled clearly.\r
736 No matter how complex you project is, REUSE keeps you\r
737 covered. With the additional documents and tools, you can\r
738 increase the time you actually can concentrate on\r
739 coding.\n\nJoin the session to learn about the principles\r
740 and see a live demo of how we make a project REUSE\r
741 compliant.\r

806SUMMARY:Plom: Paperless Open Marking\r
807DESCRIPTION:We will present Paperless Open Marking (Plom), a\r
808 software system for giving tests on paper, but marking and\r
809 returning them online. We (undergraduate students) worked\r
810 on this software as a summer project.\n\nPlom was\r
811 developed because existing grading software was usually\r
812 proprietary, too expensive, did not allow for the\r
813 complexity of multiversioned tests required for crowded\r
814 exam rooms, and might not respect local privacy laws. Plom\r
815 respects privacy of student data: all data stays on your\r
816 server, and markers do not see student names or IDs while\r
817 they are marking.\n\n Plom is GPLv3 licensed and is\r
818 currently in use at the University of British Columbia. As\r
819 an undergraduate student team, we made significant\r
820 improvements to the functionality and correctness of Plom,\r
821 and are excited to share our contributions with you.\r

860SUMMARY:Openwifi project: The dawn of the free/libre WiFi chip\r
861DESCRIPTION:In past decades, free software has played a key\r
862 role towards the free and trusted Internet. In recent\r
863 years, free software processor projects like RISC-V have\r
864 pushed forward to construct free devices and computers.\r
865 However, the radio connectivity of the device still relies\r
866 on the black box silicons (WiFi, BLE, cellular chips). The\r
867 Openwifi project (https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi)\r
868 aims to offer an free WiFi chip design that could act as\r
869 the missing piece of the free software and hardware\r
870 puzzle. As the initial step, the Openwifi project has\r
871 implemented the 802.11a/g full-stack on an FPGA-based\r
872 software defined radio (SDR) platform. The 802.11n feature\r
873 is funded by NLnet and is under development. This\r
874 presentation will give you the project overview and\r
875 discuss the future of the project.\r

890SUMMARY:Machine agency: Infrastructure for creative automation\r
891DESCRIPTION:How can we harness the precision of machines for\r
892 the creativity of individuals? Automation and computer\r
893 control of machines is increasingly widespread. However,\r
894 it's often employed for dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks.\r
895 This is partially because setting up these systems is\r
896 complex and time consuming. How can we instead lower the\r
897 threshold to automation such that it can be employed for\r
898 experimental and explorational practices? In this talk, I\r
899 will describe my research group's machine designs, and\r
900 perhaps more importantly, discuss the attributes that\r
901 makes them buildable, tailorable, and extendable by\r
902 others.\r

917SUMMARY:SecureDrop Workstation: Handling unsafe documents safely\r
918DESCRIPTION:SecureDrop is a whistleblowing platform\r
919 originally created in 2012 for journalists to accept\r
920 leaked documents safely from anonymous sources. It's used\r
921 by dozens of news organizations including The Guardian,\r
922 The Washington Post and The New York Times. This talk\r
923 introduces the SecureDrop Workstation, the next-generation\r
924 platform aimed at helping journalists communicate with\r
925 sources in a high-security environment. Based on Qubes OS,\r
926 the SecureDrop Workstation leverages Xen hypervisor\r
927 isolation to manage sensitive source material safely,\r
928 including viewing, archiving, and processing documents.\r
929 The talk will review the results of the recent security\r
930 audit focusing on the Workstation, and outline future\r
931 directions for the project as it approaches general\r
932 availability.\r

947SUMMARY:Remote education: My children's freedom and privacy at stake\r
948DESCRIPTION:During COVID-19 confinement, I saw how all\r
949 teachers were choosing proprietary video conferencing\r
950 programs over free software for the continuation of online\r
951 lessons.\n\nI had two options: do nothing about it and let\r
952 proprietary video conferencing tools spread among my\r
953 children and their classmates, or try to fight back\r
954 against this injustice.\n\nMy paramount concern was for my\r
955 own children. I knew in advance what it meant to start\r
956 this battle. Moreover, this could affect my children’s\r
957 feelings. They were not attending school and they were\r
958 already facing a very complex challenge by being forced to\r
959 stay at home. On the other hand, I was also afraid of\r
960 having some kind of retaliation from their teachers\r
961 against them because of my fight.\n\nI didn’t want any of\r
962 these things to happen. I needed to decide what to do, and\r
963 evaluate if my commitment towards the free software\r
964 movement was more important than my own children, or if I\r
965 had to let it go this time.\n\nI concluded that the answer\r
966 was not either face a big fight or do nothing, I could do\r
967 something in between; that at least would be better than\r
968 doing nothing.\r

983SUMMARY:Ingestum: A FOSS NLP document ingestion library\r
984DESCRIPTION:Many NLP projects that depend upon the analysis\r
985 of documents are impaired by the difficulty of\r
986 transforming source material into a computer-readable\r
987 format. For example, PDF files are designed for human\r
988 consumption but can look like a bag full of words to a\r
989 computer. To address this problem engineers at Sorcero\r
990 developed Ingestum, a library that is used to "devour"\r
991 content sources, outputting a format that can be used for\r
992 additional processing. Ingestum has four main\r
993 concepts:\n\nSources - common content sources that feed\r
994 the ingestion process, e.g. PDF, HTML, PNG, WAV, Twitter,\r
995 email, et al. \n\nDocuments - the intermediary and final\r
996 states of a source during the ingestion process.\r
997 \n\nTransformers - a transformation function that can be\r
998 applied a document, e.g. removing hyphens from a text\r
999 document. \n\nConditionals - a logic conditional operation\r
1000 that can be use to modify the behavior of a transformer.\r

1063 repair: As our homes, workplaces and public spaces fill\r
1064 with Internet-connected "smart" stuff, a digital right to\r
1065 repair is critical to protecting consumer rights, property\r
1066 rights and civil liberties. Despite that, electronics\r
1067 giants like Apple, Samsung, LG and General Electric have\r
1068 snuffed out scores of proposed state laws seeking to\r
1069 create such a right. How? By scaring legislators with\r
1070 tales of device hacking, cyber stalking and identity\r
1071 theft.\n\nCreating a legal right to repair our stuff means\r
1072 short-circuiting these arguments and injecting a dose of\r
1073 facts into hearings and public debate. In this\r
1074 presentation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs,\r
1075 provides a dispatch from the front lines of right to\r
1076 repair and how his group of more than 200 IT and\r
1077 information security professionals is doing battle to set\r
1078 the record straight on cybersecurity and the right to\r
1079 repair.\r

1122DESCRIPTION:An information theoretic model of privacy and\r
1123 security metrics - or - how I learned to stop worrying\r
1124 about password meters and love the dice.\n\nSince 2010,\r
1125 EFF has maintained a project dubbed Panopticlick, which\r
1126 aims to help users understand a technique called browser\r
1127 fingerprinting. Web trackers are able to stitch together\r
1128 little bits of information the users browser leaves behind\r
1129 into a cohesive whole, a fingerprint which follows them\r
1130 across their usage of the Web. Panopticlick is able to\r
1131 quantify the amount of information your browser leaks\r
1132 through the use of an information theoretical approach to\r
1133 privacy which determines how much information each\r
1134 individual metric (say, a user's list of fonts) reveals,\r
1135 and the relationship of these individual metrics to how\r
1136 much a browser reveals in general. Many of the\r
1137 misconceptions users have when using the site reflect an\r
1138 unclear picture about how their browser fingerprint is\r
1139 arrived at, and often leads users down a path that\r
1140 *decreases* their overall privacy in an attempt to\r
1141 increase it.\r

1287 some projects don't offer good usability, which drives\r
1288 them into choosing proprietary solutions. This talk is a\r
1289 more mature follow-up to my talk "How to make more users\r
1290 love free software," where I'll give realistic ideas and\r
1291 applicable and simple solutions to improve free software\r
1292 projects' usability.\n\nThis session is a continuation on\r
1293 Clarissa's presentation from LibrePlanet 2020.\r

1312DESCRIPTION:What good is a pen if the paper it touches can\r
1313 refuse to show its ink? What good is your app when your\r
1314 API key is revoked? Through metaphor and with a unique\r
1315 apprenticeship-based pedagogy, Tech Learning Collective\r
1316 (TLC) is empowering users by doing exactly what code boot\r
1317 camps and corporate-funded "learn to code" programs don't:\r
1318 TLC tells students to ignore new Web frameworks and focus\r
1319 instead on the lowest layers of an IT stack like physical\r
1320 network and hardware storage devices. At TLC,\r
1321 infrastructure is the heart of a free software curriculum\r
1322 eschewing common rush-to-employment training paradigms in\r
1323 favor of Socratic classrooms where practicing Bash\r
1324 commands seamlessly meld with lectures about Gnostic\r
1325 influences on Ethernet, the relationship between Gregorian\r
1326 chants and bootloaders, and more. Come see why and how\r
1327 TLC's holistic approach to IT education is creating\r
1328 communities of activist sysadmins out of people who\r
1329 wouldn't otherwise have called themselves "techies."\r
