  80      Your workplace can exert a lot of control over how much free software you use, what you're allowed to work on in your own time and what kinds of tools you become an expert in. New employees don't always negotiate their contracts to make sure they can continue contributing to free software and current employees aren't always successful at advocating for using free software tools, choosing free software technologies or contributing changes back upstream when they do rely on free software. We'll address what's possible, what your legal department is likely to be concerned about and how to be a smooth negotiator at work. Many companies could benefit tremendously from using Free and Open Source Software, but free software enthusiasts and institutional gatekeepers are coming from very different perspectives. Free software developers and users tend to be most familiar with free software's benefits when compared to proprietary solutions; user freedom, reusing code, public code review for bugs, increased project capacity and cost. The uninitiated may -- unfortunately -- be most familiar with the risks, some real and some perceived. Employers also benefit from having workers who are passionate about their work, are well-connected to the free software community and are constantly learning about new technologies from their peers outside the company, but new employee contracts rarely recognize this unless you ask. Conversations about contracts, choosing new technologies and sharing an employee's work with another entity are high stakes negotiations. With a solid understanding of what worries and motivates the other parties, you can become a savvy advocate for free software at work. This talk will help you gather information, frame the conversation and make the best possible case for using and contributing to free software at work.

 105      Shifting perspectives on the value of Free/Libre software development and Creative Commons content creation would open up opportunities for individuals working in these fields as we finally see a push towards an economy that makes sense for the Internet. This will be an overview of some platforms creating these new opportunities and ways we can think about how an economy can exist in the digital world beyond the artificial scarcity that comes with keeping code and content locked down or secret. The session should include group discussion about platforms, philosophies and experiences folks working in free/libre software and creative commons content.

 156      The license compliance industry purportedly helps information technology companies and other actors to use publicly available software, and in particular free software, in a way that is compliant with the relevant free software licenses. In this talk we will review why the license compliance industry exists and discuss, from an external point of view, how it operates. We will then highlight some potential ethical issues on the current best practices for license compliance in the industry, and propose community-oriented alternatives that we can build, today, on top of the existing corpus of publicly available free software.

 181      This strategic action session is for anyone interested in the solidarity economy and asset-based community development. We'll compare notes, network, and outline the ecosystem of services needed to support the operations of community land trusts, worker co-operatives, sharing networks, and other democratic economic initiatives. We'll also explore how open source technology can help activists organize and manage investments, alliances, and information resources. Hopefully both hardware and software solutions will be discussed. I'll facilitate the session and am open to the "unconference" style, where the content of the session is decided by whoever shows up. I'll prepare an overview of the topic, with an emphasis on designing tactics for people without a background in technology. Security, control, and sustainability will be core concepts.

 206      The full potential of free software is to break down the barriers to technology and to participation, and to include users and contributors from a wide range of backgrounds. There are four key steps for making communities diverse and inclusive: creating a welcoming environment, teaching skills, fostering connections, and increasing visibility of contributors from underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you are a prospective contributor wondering what an inclusive community looks like, a project contributor wanting to take concrete steps to improve your project's outreach, or a project leader looking to create a diversity strategy for your community, this talk will have the information you need. Marina will share best practices and inspiring stories from her years of experience in free software diversity outreach in roles including outreach specialist at Red Hat,  co-organizer of Outreachy, advisor and director for the Ada Initiative, and outreach lead for GNOME.

Google Drive, Google Calendar, Skype, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Doodle, Yahoo Groups, and many others, are extremely convenient services. But they are centralized and make users dependent.

 238      Framasoft are resisting this trend. They have come up with a several year roadmap to set up alternative services. These services are thought of as digital commons. They are free, gratis, and open to all. Framasoft is a French not-for-profit whose goal is to decentralize the Internet by promoting self-hosting. They work to empower everyone to install and run their own services. The project already offers more than 15 alternative services and welcomes about 1,000,000 visits per month.

 290      Academic Institutions and their researchers are some of the biggest beneficiaries of free software development. While individual researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of their academic careers. At CUNY, we have taken steps to change this unacceptable situation. Please come to this session and exchange ideas and strategies for having contribtions to free software valued by the University.

 314      Being a free software user isn't easy,  especially when you're a college student. I spent a year at a school that taught Visual Basic as its primary programming language for freshmen and sophomores, where "Introduction to Programming" was an overview of the Windows OS, and where most of the professors would only accept papers typed in Times New Roman -- and I survived. In this session, I'll give students tips for making it through college while still adhering to the values we hold as free software users -- including alternative fonts, making a GNU/Linux live disk for use on public computers, avoiding the "Netflix and Chill" dilemma, and most importantly, ways to discuss free software with professors and fellow students. After leaving this session, students will feel empowered and able to hold their own as free users in a proprietary campus.

 339      Loomio is free software that we created after experiencing the transformative potential of participatory decision making, and its limitations, during the Occupy movement in New Zealand. Scaling is impossible if people have to be in the same place at the same time so we developed software that allows online groups to be inclusive and fast, enabling deliberative discussion that taps the collective intelligence of the group while moving actively to shared agreement and action. Loomio is free to maximize access and inclusion, knowing that people who are on the margins of power are the least likely to have a voice. This session will engage participants in how Loomio works -- in fact they can sign up ahead of time to inform the session! I'll share lessons and challenges from cases across the 95 countries where citizen activists and workers are experimenting with better, fast platforms to collaborate. Participants will be inspired to use Loomio to support their groups.

 364      Attendees will be given an overview of the current state of major issues today surrounding software freedom online: proprietary JavaScript and licensing issues; packaging / hosting original source code for minified/obfuscated JavaScript; issues for languages that compile into JavaScript or subsets (asm.js, WebAssembly); privacy and methods used to spy on users; SaaSS and web applications, and how those issues differ from that of software freedom; and a general overview of how all of this stuff "works", beginning from the moment a user clicks on a link or types a URL into her web browser.

 389      In fiction, we have often faced our fear that human-created machines will become intelligent enough to turn against us and become the dominant species in the planet.  As technology develops, The Singularity may seem to be in the very near future, but it's already happened: intelligent man-made creatures have defeated the checks meant to keep them under control, corrupted our laws and governments, and turned most of us into their much-needed servants, now living in an alternate reality they created to enslave us, while in reality the planet can hardly support our life much longer.  As to keeping computers under our control, these very creatures sent their agents back to attack the leaders of our resistance, and they have turned many of our weapons against us, vaporizing our freedoms and information into a dark cloud.  We still have one card left up our sleeves to tame these creatures, but we need your help to play it successfully.  Will you come and join us?

 415      User freedom is threatened by the growing complexity of current deployment and packaging directions.  Running software (especially server/networked software) is becoming too hard for the average user, so many users are turning to the dangerous path of relying on large corporations to do their computing for them.  What can GNU do to turn the tide here?  Enter GNU Guix and GuixSD!  This talk will walk through Guix's unique positioning to provide totally free and reproducible systems.  A path will be laid out on how Guix could be used as a foundation for easy to run and maintain computing for everyone, how you can get Guix and GuixSD running, and how to get involved in the most hacking-friendly package manager/distro duo ever!

 463      The surveillance state is driven by secrecy. But everything leaves a data trail and the intelligence community itself is no exception- even the NSA is vulnerable to surveillance. Transparency Toolkit is a free software project that helps anyone investigate surveillance programs.
 464     </p>
 465     <p>
 466      By making tools to help collect and analyze publicly available data like resumes, job listings, social media, and government contracts, we are using free software and open data to track and expose the surveillance state. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the interesting things we've found, how Transparency Toolkit's software works, and how people can use our tools to investigate issues they care about.

 491      The free software movement has done well in the last few years, and has even inspired a new generation of activists advocating for software
 492 freedom. However, in a software-driven society where everything from cars, watches, and even medical devices run on non-free software, the free software community has its work cut out for it. In order to enact significant social change, we need to work with legislators, other
 493 activists, and local community leaders. Their help is crucial.
 494     </p>
 495     <p>
 496      How do we connect our community to other groups? In order to gain support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on how
 497 non-free software can affect their everyday lives negatively. Even the most non-technical person can become engaged with the social and
 498 technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software movement
 499 can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society running on free software in a way that each person can personally appreciate.

 523      What could possibly make thousands of free software advocates, ham radio operators, researchers and physicians stand together? One obscure FCC rulemaking proposal on wireless radios. Eric Schultz, one of the leaders of the Save Wifi Initiative, discusses the details of the extreme proposals of FCC to control how you use your devices. You'll learn the history of regulators quietly locking down wireless radios and how it's unintentionally extending to a lockdown of the operating systems of devices. Finally, you'll find out some of the problems with proposed workarounds for the the FCC lock down proposals.
