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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

342 that bans breaking encryption on hardware that you
343 rightfully own.

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

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

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

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

538 you’re building? Have you ever tried to join a free
539 software community that didn’t make you feel welcome?
540 Let’s learn about what can make free software communities
541 active, equitable, and resilient, and how we can encourage
542 community collaboration, bug reporting, and contributions.

560 decentralized services designed around the principle of
561 least authority: the 3NWeb free software protocols and
562 client. 3NWeb use cases include encrypted messaging and
563 storage, which we will demonstrate. The protocols can be
564 run over anonymous networks such as Tor. We need to share
565 our knowledge and collectively move our society to be more
566 immune to crisis via increased deployment of free
567 software. 3NWeb can help the world move one more step in
568 that direction.

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

728SUMMARY:REUSE: Simple steps to declare your copyright and licenses
729DESCRIPTION:Free software licensing can be tiresome. But
730 setting the conditions for the use and reuse of your code
731 is extremely important. To make developers' lives easier,
732 there is the REUSE initiative. This presentation will
733 explain simple yet powerful best practices for defining
734 licenses and copyright holders.\n\nIn three easy steps,
735 you can make sure that for all files are labelled clearly.
736 No matter how complex you project is, REUSE keeps you
737 covered. With the additional documents and tools, you can
738 increase the time you actually can concentrate on
739 coding.\n\nJoin the session to learn about the principles
740 and see a live demo of how we make a project REUSE
741 compliant.

758DESCRIPTION:Why is it that some free software projects,
759 although started at the same time as comparable propriety
760 projects, are still playing catch-up in terms of number of
761 users and desired features? Features comparisons as well
762 as the network effect and how well known a piece of
763 software is play into this, but what features do users
764 find most important? We can’t make “better” software until
765 we know what features users actually care about. This talk
766 will explore prominent examples of free software projects
767 and look at how free software can stay ahead of the curve.

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

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

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

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

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

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

1061SUMMARY:A dispatch from the front lines of right to repair
1062DESCRIPTION:FUD fighting on the front lines of right to
1063 repair: As our homes, workplaces and public spaces fill
1064 with Internet-connected "smart" stuff, a digital right to
1065 repair is critical to protecting consumer rights, property
1066 rights and civil liberties. Despite that, electronics
1067 giants like Apple, Samsung, LG and General Electric have
1068 snuffed out scores of proposed state laws seeking to
1069 create such a right. How? By scaring legislators with
1070 tales of device hacking, cyber stalking and identity
1071 theft.\n\nCreating a legal right to repair our stuff means
1072 short-circuiting these arguments and injecting a dose of
1073 facts into hearings and public debate. In this
1074 presentation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs,
1075 provides a dispatch from the front lines of right to
1076 repair and how his group of more than 200 IT and
1077 information security professionals is doing battle to set
1078 the record straight on cybersecurity and the right to
1079 repair.

1099 advance people on a larger scale. I’ll discuss the ways
1100 that values of free software and labor movements
1101 complement one another. I will outline the practical

1121SUMMARY:An information theoretic model of privacy and security metrics
1122DESCRIPTION:An information theoretic model of privacy and
1123 security metrics - or - how I learned to stop worrying
1124 about password meters and love the dice.\n\nSince 2010,
1125 EFF has maintained a project dubbed Panopticlick, which
1126 aims to help users understand a technique called browser
1127 fingerprinting. Web trackers are able to stitch together
1128 little bits of information the users browser leaves behind
1129 into a cohesive whole, a fingerprint which follows them
1130 across their usage of the Web. Panopticlick is able to
1131 quantify the amount of information your browser leaks
1132 through the use of an information theoretical approach to
1133 privacy which determines how much information each
1134 individual metric (say, a user's list of fonts) reveals,
1135 and the relationship of these individual metrics to how
1136 much a browser reveals in general. Many of the
1137 misconceptions users have when using the site reflect an
1138 unclear picture about how their browser fingerprint is
1139 arrived at, and often leads users down a path that
1140 *decreases* their overall privacy in an attempt to
1141 increase it.

1202SUMMARY:Empower users by asking them for money
1203DESCRIPTION:I've always been a free software programmer, a
1204 contractor to the rich and already powerful so they could
1205 use free software to its fullest. But, users, normal
1206 everyday users, are left out, and their needs are often
1207 different from business, universities and other large
1208 organizations who can afford to pay developers.\n\nI
1209 wanted to develop Inkscape for users, and to do this I
1210 have started asking users to fund me directly. Four
1211 Inkscape developers currently use a personal funding
1212 platform to try and raise the money needed to make our
1213 activities more stable and user-focused. Come hear about
1214 my experiences setting up and operating in a federated and
1215 fragmented system and how we can move free software
1216 economics from business versus volunteers to a more
1217 equitable settlement for users and developers.

1252DESCRIPTION:Over 100 teams attempted to create free/libre
1253 solutions to address the shortage of ventilators caused by
1254 the COVID-19 pandemic; we created a large spreadsheet
1255 evaluating all of them along many coordinates. Slowly,
1256 teams coalesced into a global community and began
1257 cooperating. There were many successes, failures, and
1258 learnings. The community had pioneered techniques that
1259 were re-used inconsistently to organize teams. The overall
1260 effect was mixed in terms of its success developing
1261 ventilators, but very successful in advancing the global
1262 free hardware community. We present this story from the
1263 point of view of a full-time active participant in many
1264 organizations.

1285 main reasons users with no technical background don't use
1286 many free software projects in their daily routine is that
1287 some projects don't offer good usability, which drives
1288 them into choosing proprietary solutions. This talk is a

1291 applicable and simple solutions to improve free software
1292 projects' usability.\n\nThis session is a continuation on

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