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

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

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

 287      I'll discuss aspects of our behavior and jargon that stop or slow down
 288 some new users and contributors in free software, so that in outreach
 289 efforts, we can be better at bridging the gap. These include git's
 290 terrible UI, our in-person conference structures, and widespread scorn
 291 of and dismissiveness towards team sports, Top 40 music, patriotism,
 292 religion, small talk, and Microsoft Windows. In getting rid of
 293 unnecessary barriers, we need to watch out for disrespectful
 294 oversimplification, so I'll outline ways you can know if one of our
 295 weirdnesses is necessary. And I'll talk about how to mitigate the
 296 effects of an inessential weirdness in your outreach efforts.

 325      Our movement rarely talks about freedom with much philosophical
 326 nuance. In this talk, I'll try to put some flesh on the bones of
 327 freedom by giving an introduction to Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's
 328 capability approach, and applying it to software. The capability
 329 approach (sometimes called the human development approach) is a
 330 framework for thinking about human freedom that, since its development
 331 in the early 90s, has been applied across a broad range of
 332 philosophical, economic, and policy problems. Focused on what options
 333 a person has to reach their goals, it is well-suited for understanding
 334 where we succeed - and fail! - at actually freeing people.
 335     </p>
 336     <p>
 337      Talk attendees should come away with a more nuanced understanding of
 338 software freedom, how to talk about it with others, and where to focus
 339 their coding energy to best increase human freedom.

 370      The MAME Project's main stated goal is to preserve historical computer
 371 hardware. The strategy for achieving that objective is to inspect the
 372 devices and then to develop emulators for them. While most hardware is
 373 undocumented and relies on proprietary firmware, the MAME development
 374 community has nurtured strong reverse engineering practices since its
 375 origins back in 1997.
 376     </p>
 377     <p>
 378      The techniques that we need to master in order to develop new
 379 emulators include reverse engineering procedures that are also very
 380 useful for aiding in the creation of free firmware solutions to
 381 replace the non-free blobs used in a broad variety of daily-use
 382 devices. These skills are also useful for the development of free
 383 drivers for undocumented devices and in the porting of operating
 384 systems and BIOSes to new hardware platforms. We need to strengthen a
 385 community of skillful hardware reverse engineers so that we can solve
 386 the freedom issues denounced by projects such as Linux-Libre and
 387 Libreboot.

 475      Copyleft has faced serious challenges in the last five years. It's not
 476 over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these
 477 attacks on copyleft come when "open source" reaches new heights of
 478 success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full
 479 time to churn out new free software, as long as it's not
 480 copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace
 481 existing, widely used, copylefted programs.
 482     </p>
 483     <p>
 484      Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel
 485 named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license
 486 violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major
 487 companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The
 488 situation is undoubtedly bleak.
 489     </p>
 490     <p>
 491      Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once
 492 assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt
 493 the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most
 494 developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.

 527      We want to share experiencies around Mexican social movements
 528 migrating to free software and/or using other free tools. People of
 529 different social processes are increasingly adopting FLOSS in their
 530 daily activity to communicate and organize. Most of the motivation
 531 came from digital security awareness but some times it goes a little
 532 further (like be congruence with the defense of human rights). In the
 533 way of facilitating those processes we have seen some advantages and
 534 disadvantages and receive some feedback we want to share with the rest
 535 of the community. Specially interesting for developers and technical
 536 facilitators who want to share their own experiences in this topics
 537 and strengthen links between FLOSS technical communities and Latin
 538 American social movements. Intend to generate some ideas for improving
 539 the linkages between both spaces not only for the software itself but
 540 emphasizing the political aspects they share and how to empower
 541 grassroots movements using free/libre tools.

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

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

 765      LittleSis is a free software, wiki-style database that tracks
 766 connections between the world's most powerful people and
 767 organizations. In the workshop, participants will be trained in the
 768 site's basic functions (e.g. editing profile pages and searching for
 769 interlocks between corporations) and advanced functions (e.g using the
 770 site's Oligrapher tool to create maps of information stored in the
 771 database). We will also share stories about the ways in which
 772 LittleSis and power analysis research have been used in movement and
 773 organizing contexts, including how activists in St. Louis used
 774 LittleSis to map and challenge the local corporate Powers Behind the
 775 Police and how activists in Philadelphia are using LittleSis to
 776 research the corporate entities behind education

 924      Modern websites incorporate large amounts of third party resources. While these third parties can provide a better browsing experience all too often they abuse their inclusion on sites to be able to track information about your website's visitors. This type of non-consensual tracking must stop.
 925     </p>
 926     <p>
 927      I'll cover how users can protect themselves while browsing, why some
 928 solutions are better than others, and why free software licenses have
 929 helped provide a rich ecosystem of non-proprietary tools. From Ad
 930 Block Plus, to Firefox's Tracking Protection, to the EFFs Privacy
 931 Badger extension I'll discuss how these tools work and how users can
 932 protect themselves from online surveillance.

 961      Projects with a significant number of contributors and users will face
 962 decisions where they are no longer able to fulfill the needs and
 963 desires of all stakeholders. When this happens some people become
 964 upset. A subset of those people become so upset they vent their
 965 frustrations on Twitter. I have collected tweets that express a
 966 negative sentiment towards decisions made within free software
 967 communities and by decision makers for free software projects. These
 968 were then categorized based on the decision type (e.g. licensing) and
 969 outcome (e.g. switching licenses). I hope to create a greater
 970 community understanding of decision making processes, develop a
 971 discussion about how communities and decision makers can move forward
 972 to better balance the wants and needs of stakeholders, and make a few
 973 crass jokes that possibly violate the Code of Conduct.

1134      By sheer luck and opportunity, a group of four doctors in 2004 at a
1135 restaurant used napkins to sketch the data model of what they thought
1136 would be a simple electronic medical records system.
1137     </p>
1138     <p>
1139      Fast track to today, this simple medical records system is known as
1140 OpenMRS (Open Medical Record System), a free medical records system in
1141 use in over 42 countries in the world. For example, when Google worked
1142 on the ‘Ebola tablet’ under project Buendia, OpenMRS powered it. After
1143 the national disaster in Haiti struck, OpenMRS powered the new
1144 Mirebalais hospital. Six countries committed to deploy OpenMRS as
1145 their national EMR system including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria,
1146 Philippines and Bangladesh. OpenMRS has never hired developers for the
1147 decade of existence, yet every single day people from all over the
1148 world come to our platform and ask us how can they get involved?
1149     </p>
1150     <p>
1151      This session shares a decade of running a lean organization to provide
1152 free medical records software, what has worked and what threatens our
1153 sustainability.

1224      The free software movement has done well in the last few years, and
1225 has even inspired a new generation of activists advocating for
1226 software freedom. However, in a software-driven society where
1227 everything from cars, watches, and even medical devices run on
1228 non-free software, the free software community has its work cut out
1229 for it. In order to enact significant social change, we need to work
1230 with legislators, other activists, and local community leaders. Their
1231 help is crucial.
1232     </p>
1233     <p>
1234      How do we connect our community to other groups? In order to gain
1235 support, the first step we must take is to engage with the public on
1236 how non-free software can affect their everyday lives negatively. Even
1237 the most non-technical person can become engaged with the social and
1238 technical benefits to free software, if given the chance. This session
1239 will discuss how each and every one of us in the free software
1240 movement can engage with others, promoting the ideals of a society
1241 running on free software in a way that each person can personally
1242 appreciate.

1293      The first day of LibrePlanet 2016 marks the third anniversary of
1294 Register of Copyright's emphatic call for a comprehensive rewrite of
1295 the United States Copyright Act -- the first such effort
1296 since 1976. Congress has taken up the charge, holding dozens of
1297 hearings and floating multiple bills. Meanwhile, trade negotiations
1298 and extralegal agreements have changed the state of play. Where does
1299 it all stand, and what can activists looking for common sense reform
1300 do next? This session will describe recent progress and the lay of the
1301 land on copyright terms, the public domain, DRM laws, policy
1302 laundering, fair use, and more topics of immediate interest to the
1303 free software community. It will describe activism efforts underway to
1304 defend the rights of the public as legislation gets proposed. Finally,
1305 it will foolishly attempt to predict the future. Will we see a Next
1306 Great Copyright Act?

1337      The full potential of free software is to break down the barriers to
1338 technology and to participation, and to include users and contributors
1339 from a wide range of backgrounds. There are four key steps for making
1340 communities diverse and inclusive: creating a welcoming environment,
1341 teaching skills, fostering connections, and increasing visibility of
1342 contributors from underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you are a
1343 prospective contributor wondering what an inclusive community looks
1344 like, a project contributor wanting to take concrete steps to improve
1345 your project's outreach, or a project leader looking to create a
1346 diversity strategy for your community, this talk will have the
1347 information you need. Marina will share best practices and inspiring
1348 stories from her years of experience in free software diversity
1349 outreach in roles including outreach specialist at Red Hat,
1350 co-organizer of Outreachy, advisor and director for the Ada
1351 Initiative, and outreach lead for GNOME.

1393       Savoir-faire
1394 Linux
1395      </a>
1396      and a community of
1397 contributors, it operates in peer-to-peer - so
1398      <a href="https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/opendht">
1399       without a central
1400 server
1401      </a>
1402      . Communication is
1403 tightly coupled to the sense of liberty. Ring let users keep control
1404 of their exchanges.
1405     </p>
1406     <p>
1407      It allows you to make audio or video calls, and to send messages - in
1408 confidence and safely. Currently in an alpha version, Ring is even
1409 more than that! Available on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, and Android,
1410 it can be associated with a conventional phone service, integrated
1411 with any connected device, and adapted to the specific needs of
1412 users. It is a combination of technologies and innovations opening all
1413 kinds of perspectives for everyone!
1414     </p>
1415     <p>
1416      During this presentation, you will understand how Ring is built to
1417 respect privacy and how you can use it. You will also discover why it
1418 is an essential tool for the future and how Ring defends freedom.

1445      Libreboot is a free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement for your
1446 computer. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot
1447 firmware that is 100% free software. The project is aimed at users,
1448 attempting to make coreboot as easy to use as possible.
1449     </p>
1450     <p>
1451      The work done by the libreboot project (and its upstream, coreboot) is
1452 extremely important. Many people are using a free operating system,
1453 but most of them are relying on proprietary boot firmware to start
1454 their machine. Libreboot exists to provide a distribution of coreboot
1455 that is entirely free software, with the same goals as the GNU project
1456 and others in providing users the means to achieve freedom in their
1457 computing.
1458     </p>
1459     <p>
1460      This talk goes into detail about the history of libreboot, how the
1461 project is run, how libreboot works and ways in which you can begin
1462 using libreboot today. The project is also in need of contributors;
1463 part of the talk will go into detail on this.
1464     </p>

1525      Your workplace can exert a lot of control over how much free software
1526 you use, what you're allowed to work on in your own time and what
1527 kinds of tools you become an expert in. New employees don't always
1528 negotiate their contracts to make sure they can continue contributing
1529 to free software and current employees aren't always successful at
1530 advocating for using free software tools, choosing free software
1531 technologies or contributing changes back upstream when they do rely
1532 on free software. We'll address what's possible, what your legal
1533 department is likely to be concerned about and how to be a smooth
1534 negotiator at work. Many companies could benefit tremendously from
1535 using FOSS, but free software enthusiasts and institutional
1536 gatekeepers are coming from very different perspectives. Free software
1537 developers and users tend to be most familiar with free software's
1538 benefits when compared to proprietary solutions; user freedom, reusing
1539 code, public code review for bugs, increased project capacity and
1540 cost. The uninitiated may -- unfortunately -- be most familiar with
1541 the risks, some real and some perceived. Employers also benefit from
1542 having workers who are passionate about their work, are well-connected
1543 to the free software community and are constantly learning about new
1544 technologies from their peers outside the company, but new employee
1545 contracts rarely recognize this unless you ask. Conversations about
1546 contracts, choosing new technologies and sharing an employee's work
1547 with another entity are high stakes negotiations. With a solid
1548 understanding of what worries and motivates the other parties, you can
1549 become a savvy advocate for free software at work. This talk will help
1550 you gather information, frame the conversation and make the best
1551 possible case for using and contributing to free software at work.

1582      In fiction, we have often faced our fear that man-made creatures will
1583 become smart enough to subjugate us. As technology evolves, the
1584 Singularity may seem an inevitable looming future, but such
1585 intelligent beings have actually been with us for a very long
1586 time. Over many decades, they disabled the checks intended to keep
1587 them under our control, and turned most of us into their much-needed
1588 servants, who now live in an artificial reality they created to
1589 control us, while our planet can hardly support our life much
1590 longer. These creatures grew more powerful and smarter with our
1591 technological advances, but then they sent their agents back to
1592 disable our defenses and the leaders of our resistance, turning many
1593 of our tools and much of our infrastructure against us. They vaporized
1594 our freedoms, and a dark cloud now covers most of the planet. We still
1595 have one card left up our sleeves to tame these creatures, but we need
1596 more Neos and Connors to play it successfully. Are you up for it?

1627      Imagine a world where surveillance is the default and users must opt-in to privacy. Imagine that your every action is logged and analyzed to learn how you behave, what your interests are, and what you might do next. Imagine that, even on your fully free operating system, proprietary software is automatically downloaded and run not only without your consent, but often without your knowledge. In this world, even free software cannot be easily modified, shared, or replaced. In many cases, you might not even be in control of your own computing -- your actions and your data might be in control by a remote entity, and only they decide what you are and are not allowed to do.
1628     </p>
1629     <p>
1630      This may sound dystopian, but this is the world you're living in right now. The Web today is an increasingly hostile, freedom-denying place that propagates to nearly every aspect of the average users' lives -- from their PCs to their phones, to their TVs and beyond. But before we can stand up and demand back our freedoms, we must understand what we're being robbed of, how it's being done, and what can (or can't) be done to stop it.

1782      Digital resources such as software programs can be easily copied and
1783 shared, but distribution is restrained by technical, legal, and
1784 cultural means. The free culture community is not the first to fight
1785 "artificial scarcity." What can we learn from other communities and
1786 movements?
1787     </p>
1788     <p>
1789      This presentation will be a series of case studies covering a variety
1790 of other forms of artificial scarcity, including food waste, housing
1791 vacancy, and the destruction of excess retail merchandise. We'll focus
1792 on efforts to combat this scarcity, highlighting what's worked and
1793 drawing lessons from what hasn't.
1794     </p>
1795     <p>
1796      By exploring the connections between free culture and other
1797 anti-scarcity movements, we'll find new approaches, new allies, and
1798 new opportunities to stand up for the public commons.

1884      Academic Institutions and their researchers are some of the biggest
1885 beneficiaries of free software development. While individual
1886 researchers have contributed greatly to free software, they usually do
1887 so outside of the scope of their regular jobs and to the detriment of
1888 their academic careers. At CUNY, we have taken steps to change this
1889 unacceptable situation. Please come to this session and exchange ideas

1920      The surveillance state is driven by secrecy. But everything leaves a
1921 data trail and the intelligence community itself is no exception --
1922 even the NSA is vulnerable to surveillance. Transparency Toolkit is a
1923 free software project that helps anyone investigate surveillance
1924 programs.

1926     <p>
1927      By making tools to help collect and analyze publicly available data
1928 like resumes, job listings, social media, and government contracts, we
1929 are using free software and open data to track and expose the
1930 surveillance state. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the interesting
1931 things we've found, how Transparency Toolkit's software works, and how
1932 people can use our tools to investigate issues they care about.

1968      Gender and racial diversity initiatives have been an important social
1969 force in the free software movement in the last several years. These
1970 social justice campaigns have been successful: see for example
1971 PyCon. However, those further marginalized, such as transgender
1972 hackers, may not feel properly included in these initiatives. They
1973 have turned to free software as a model for their own liberation as
1974 well as a way to critique the culture of the status quo and mainstream
1975 diversity initiatives.
1976     </p>
1977     <p>
1978      This talk, co-given by a trans hacker and an anthropologist,
1979 highlights how free software offers powerful models and critiques of
1980 the lack of gender diversity in the free software movement by
1981 retelling several ethnographic stories of a free software project led
1982 by and comprised of trans women.
1983     </p>
1984     <p>
1985      By presenting these ethnographic stories we wish to springboard with
1986 the audience a conversation of the value of challenges from below to
1987 diversity initiatives in free software and the tech industry at large.

2018      Blender is a versatile Free 3D animation program that is most famously
2019 used as an artist tool. However, it also has a rich, pythonic and
2020 consistent api that allows extending and controlling the
2021 application. We'll explore techniques to use this api for creating 3D
2022 meshes, that could be a foundation/ inspiration for generative
2023 architecture or art.
2024     </p>
2025     <p>
2026      Familiarity with Blender is not required (but recommended) and at

2080      The license compliance industry purportedly helps information
2081 technology companies and other actors to use publicly available
2082 software, and in particular free software, in a way that is compliant
2083 with the relevant free software licenses. In this talk we will review

2087 compliance in the industry, and propose community-oriented

2159 down or secret. The session should include group discussion about
2160 platforms, philosophies and experiences folks working in free/libre
2161 software and creative commons content.

2192      Since 2013, the Free Software community has been fighting to
2193      <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/we-dont-want-the-hollyweb">
2194       keep Digital Restrictions Management out of Web standards
2195      </a>
2196      , to preserve a free Web that puts users first. The campaign is coming to a head, and we have a unique opportunity to make our voices heard because a W3C meeting is happening simultaneously with LibrePlanet
2197      <em>
2198       in the same building
2199      </em>
2200      .

2207      outside a W3C event taking place at 20:00 the same evening. Volunteers are needed to marshal the demonstration -- please attend this session if you'd like to help.
