| 14 | DESCRIPTION: The 21st century techno-surveillance state is the oil that ru\r |
| 15 | ns the deportation and mass incarceration machines. In Donald Trump and Je\r |
| 16 | ff Sessions' America\, it's more important than ever to fight for our core\r |
| 17 | values: freedom\, equality\, justice\, and democracy. That means using yo\r |
| 18 | ur technical skills in the service of liberation\, but it also means engag\r |
| 19 | ing as an ordinary citizen in the messy work of lobbying and organizing. T\r |
| 20 | his talk will lay out some of the greatest challenges we face in 2017\, an\r |
| 21 | d describe in detail some concrete ways we must unite to fight—not only \r |
| 22 | against the Trump regime's dastardly plans\, but also for the future we co\r |
| 23 | llectively need to build.\r |

| 58 | DESCRIPTION:This presentation will open a discussion about how we are intr\r |
| 59 | oducing new developers to programming. Most textbooks\, tutorials\, and tr\r |
| 60 | ainings begin by introducing new developers to mathematics lessons within \r |
| 61 | the language. Many courses on programming require math skills as prerequis\r |
| 62 | ites. However\, math prowess is not usually an indicator of one's potentia\r |
| 63 | l programming abilities. Those people who have been told from a young age \r |
| 64 | that they aren't good at math or generally doubt their math skills often f\r |
| 65 | eel excluded from the world of programming unnecessarily. I will pose ques\r |
| 66 | tions about whether we can be using methods other than math skills to teac\r |
| 67 | h programming languages to adult beginners. I propose logic and reasoning \r |
| 68 | skills are more important programming concepts to master to help new devel\r |
| 69 | opers succeed. Let's change the way we're teaching programming and break d\r |
| 70 | own more artificial barriers to entry for becoming a developer.\r |

| 734 | DESCRIPTION:Machine learning (ML) research has a long and still prevalent \r |
| 735 | legacy of using proprietary technology. As ML becomes more and more popula\r |
| 736 | r with industry-scale large applications\, many new and powerful proprieta\r |
| 737 | ry pushes have been trying to enter different parts of the ML application \r |
| 738 | stack. We need to be prepared for the challenges of keeping free and open \r |
| 739 | source technology in ML\, and the challenges come from both the legacy sid\r |
| 740 | e and the new proprietary push side. However\, ML is still overlooked in o\r |
| 741 | ur conversations about free and open technology\, although many open sourc\r |
| 742 | e alternatives have made ways into ML research\, development\, and industr\r |
| 743 | y applications. In this session\, we will first have a quick glimpse at th\r |
| 744 | e history ML stack in research\, development\, and applications\, then exp\r |
| 745 | lore ML's proprietary legacy and its status quo. Then we will look at wher\r |
| 746 | e the proprietary army is coming (again) while we were not looking. To con\r |
| 747 | clude\, we will discuss strategies about what we can do as - a community a\r |
| 748 | nd as individuals - to keep ML research and development free and open. Aud\r |
| 749 | ience will walk away with the big picture of many floating pieces in curre\r |
| 750 | nt ML development and applications\, and will also learn about less-explor\r |
| 751 | ed historical context of ML development\, its influence on the potential f\r |
| 752 | uture of free and open source technology in ML\, and some action recipes t\r |
| 753 | o keep ML free and open. Your thoughts\, questions\, and further discussio\r |
