72 <p>What could possibly make thousands of free software advocates, ham

74 obscure FCC rulemaking proposal on wireless radios. Eric Schultz, one
75 of the leaders of the Save Wifi Initiative, discusses the details of
76 the extreme proposals of FCC to control how you use your
77 devices. You'll learn the history of regulators quietly locking down
78 wireless radios and how it's unintentionally extending to a lockdown

102 <p>User freedom is threatened by the growing complexity of current
103 deployment and packaging directions. Running software (especially
104 server/networked software) is becoming too hard for the average user,
105 so many users are turning to the dangerous path of relying on large
106 corporations to do their computing for them. What can GNU do to turn
107 the tide here? Enter GNU Guix and GuixSD! This talk will walk
108 through Guix's unique positioning to provide totally free and
109 reproducible systems. A path will be laid out on how Guix could be
110 used as a foundation to run and maintain computing for

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

226 <p>Our movement rarely talks about freedom with much philosophical
227 nuance. In this talk, I'll try to put some flesh on the bones of
228 freedom by giving an introduction to Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's
229 capability approach, and applying it to software. The capability
230 approach (sometimes called the human development approach) is a
231 framework for thinking about human freedom that, since its development
232 in the early 90s, has been applied across a broad range of
233 philosophical, economic, and policy problems. Focused on what options
234 a person has to reach their goals, it is well-suited for understanding
235 where we succeed - and fail! - at actually freeing people.</p>
236 <p>Talk attendees should come away with a more nuanced understanding of
237 software freedom, how to talk about it with others, and where to focus
238 their coding energy to best increase human freedom.</p>

258 <p>The MAME Project's main stated goal is to preserve historical computer
259 hardware. The strategy for achieving that objective is to inspect the
260 devices and then develop emulators for them. While most hardware is
261 undocumented and relies on proprietary firmware, the MAME development
262 community has nurtured strong reverse engineering practices since its
263 origins back in 1997.</p>
264 <p>The techniques that we need to master in order to develop new
265 emulators include reverse engineering procedures that are also very
266 useful for aiding in the creation of free firmware solutions to
267 replace the non-free blobs used in a broad variety of daily-use
268 devices. These skills are also useful for the development of free
269 drivers for undocumented devices and in the porting of operating
270 systems and BIOSes to new hardware platforms. We need to strengthen a
271 community of skillful hardware reverse engineers so that we can solve
272 the freedom issues denounced by projects such as Linux-Libre and
273 Libreboot.</p>

331 <p>Copyleft has faced serious challenges in the last five years. It's not
332 over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these
333 attacks on copyleft come when "open source" reaches new heights of
334 success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full
335 time to churn out new free software, as long as it's not
336 copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace
337 existing, widely used, copylefted programs.</p>
338 <p>Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel
339 named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license
340 violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major
341 companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The
342 situation is undoubtedly bleak.</p>
343 <p>Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once
344 assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt
345 the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most
346 developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.</p>

400 <p>Loomio is free software that we created after experiencing the
401 transformative potential of participatory decision making, and its
402 limitations, during the Occupy movement in New Zealand. Scaling is
403 impossible if people have to be in the same place at the same time so
404 we developed software that allows online groups to be inclusive and
405 fast, enabling deliberative discussion that taps the collective
406 intelligence of the group while moving actively to shared agreement
407 and action. Loomio is free to maximize access and inclusion, knowing
408 that people who are on the margins of power are the least likely to
409 have a voice. This session will engage participants in how Loomio
410 works -- in fact they can sign up ahead of time to inform the session!
411 I'll share lessons and challenges from cases across the 95 countries

500 compare notes, network, and outline the ecosystem of services needed
501 to support the operations of community land trusts, worker
502 co-operatives, sharing networks, and other democratic economic
503 initiatives. We'll also explore how free software technology can help
504 activists organize and manage investments, alliances, and information
505 resources. Hopefully both hardware and software solutions will be
506 discussed. I'll facilitate the session and am open to the
507 "unconference" style, where the content of the session is decided by
508 whoever shows up. I'll prepare an overview of the topic, with an
509 emphasis on designing tactics for people without a background in
510 technology. Security, control, and sustainability will be core
511 concepts.</p>

608 gave the project its name. Google Drive, Google Calendar, Skype,
609 Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Doodle, Yahoo Groups, and many

612 <p>Framasoft are resisting this trend. They have come up with a several
613 year roadmap to set up alternative services. These services are
614 thought of as digital commons. They are free, gratis, and open to
615 all. Framasoft is a French not-for-profit whose goal is to
616 decentralize the Internet by promoting self-hosting. They work to
617 empower everyone to install and run their own services. The project
618 already offers more than 15 alternative services and welcomes about
619 1,000,000 visits per month. </p>

664 <p>Projects with a significant number of contributors and users will face
665 decisions where they are no longer able to fulfill the needs and
666 desires of all stakeholders. When this happens some people become
667 upset. A subset of those people become so upset they vent their
668 frustrations on Twitter. I have collected tweets that express a
669 negative sentiment towards decisions made within free software
670 communities and by decision makers for free software projects. These
671 were then categorized based on the decision type (e.g. licensing) and
672 outcome (e.g. switching licenses). I hope to create a greater
673 community understanding of decision making processes, develop a

791 liberties like the USA PATRIOT Act and National Security Letters. In
792 the post-Snowden era, libraries have taken this activism further and are

821 <p>By sheer luck and opportunity, a group of four doctors in 2004 at a
822 restaurant used napkins to sketch the data model of what they thought
823 would be a simple electronic medical records system.</p>
824 <p>Fast track to today, this simple medical records system is known as
825 OpenMRS (Open Medical Record System), a free medical records system in
826 use in over 42 countries in the world. For example, when Google worked
827 on the ‘Ebola tablet’ under project Buendia, OpenMRS powered it. After
828 the national disaster in Haiti struck, OpenMRS powered the new
829 Mirebalais hospital. Six countries committed to deploy OpenMRS as
830 their national EMR system including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria,
831 Philippines and Bangladesh. OpenMRS has never hired developers for the

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

966 <p>The full potential of free software is to break down the barriers to
967 technology and to participation, and to include users and contributors
968 from a wide range of backgrounds. There are four key steps for making

1035 <p>Libreboot - free software BIOS replacement (boot firmware), based on
1036 coreboot, for laptops and servers, and x86 (Intel/AMD) and ARM hardware.</p>
1037 <p>Libreboot is a free software BIOS replacement (boot firmware), based
1038 on coreboot, for Intel, AMD and ARM based systems. Backed by the Free
1039 Software Foundation, the aim of the Libreboot project is to provide
1040 individuals and companies with an escape from proprietary firmware in
1041 their computing. Libreboot is also being reviewed for entry as an
1042 official component of the GNU system.</p>
1043 <p>Boot firmware is the low-level software that runs when you turn your
1044 computer on, which initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader
1045 for your operating system. Libreboot currently supports laptops and
1046 servers, on x86 (Intel and AMD) and ARM (Rockchip RK3288), with more
1047 hardware support on the horizon. The purpose of this talk is to
1048 describe the history of the project, why it started, why it's
1049 important, where it's going and, most importantly, to tell people how
1050 they can get involved.</p>
1051 <p>Francis also runs the Minifree (formerly Gluglug) at
1052 <a href="https://minifree.org/">https://minifree.org/</a>, a company that sells computers with libreboot

1089 <p>Your workplace can exert a lot of control over how much free software
1090 you use, what you're allowed to work on in your own time and what
1091 kinds of tools you become an expert in. New employees don't always
1092 negotiate their contracts to make sure they can continue contributing
1093 to free software and current employees aren't always successful at
1094 advocating for using free software tools, choosing free software
1095 technologies or contributing changes back upstream when they do rely
1096 on free software. We'll address what's possible, what your legal
1097 department is likely to be concerned about and how to be a smooth
1098 negotiator at work. Many companies could benefit tremendously from
1099 using FLOSS, but free software enthusiasts and institutional
1100 gatekeepers are coming from very different perspectives. Free software
1101 developers and users tend to be most familiar with free software's
1102 benefits when compared to proprietary solutions; user freedom, reusing
1103 code, public code review for bugs, increased project capacity and
1104 cost. The uninitiated may -- unfortunately -- be most familiar with
1105 the risks, some real and some perceived. Employers also benefit from
1106 having workers who are passionate about their work, are well-connected
1107 to the free software community and are constantly learning about new
1108 technologies from their peers outside the company, but new employee
1109 contracts rarely recognize this unless you ask. Conversations about
1110 contracts, choosing new technologies and sharing an employee's work
1111 with another entity are high stakes negotiations. With a solid
1112 understanding of what worries and motivates the other parties, you can
1113 become a savvy advocate for free software at work. This talk will help
1114 you gather information, frame the conversation and make the best
1115 possible case for using and contributing to free software at work.</p>

1138 intelligent beings have actually been with us for a very long

1142 control us, while our planet can hardly support our life much

1169 <p>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.</p>
1170 <p>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.</p>

1282 <p>Digital resources such as software programs can be easily copied and
1283 shared, but distribution is restrained by technical, legal, and
1284 cultural means. The free culture community is not the first to fight
1285 "artificial scarcity." What can we learn from other communities and
1286 movements?</p>
1287 <p>This presentation will be a series of case studies covering a variety
1288 of other forms of artificial scarcity, including food waste, housing
1289 vacancy, and the destruction of excess retail merchandise. We'll focus
1290 on efforts to combat this scarcity, highlighting what's worked and
1291 drawing lessons from what hasn't.</p>
1292 <p>By exploring the connections between free culture and other

1294 new opportunities to stand up for the public commons.</p>

1408 <p>Gender and racial diversity initiatives have been an important social
1409 force in the free software movement in the last several years. These
1410 social justice campaigns have been successful: see for example
1411 PyCon. However, those further marginalized, such as transgender
1412 hackers, may not feel properly included in these initiatives. They
1413 have turned to free software as a model for their own liberation as
1414 well as a way to critique the culture of the status quo and mainstream
1415 diversity initiatives.</p>
1416 <p>This talk, co-given by a trans hacker and an anthropologist,
1417 highlights how free software offers powerful models and critiques of
1418 the lack of gender diversity in the free software movement by
1419 retelling several ethnographic stories of a free software project led
1420 by and comprised of trans women.</p>
1421 <p>By presenting these ethnographic stories we wish to springboard with
1422 the audience a conversation of the value of challenges from below to
1423 diversity initiatives in free software and the tech industry at large.</p>

1443 <p>Blender is a versatile Free 3D animation program that is most famously
1444 used as an artist tool. However, it also has a rich, pythonic and
1445 consistent api that allows extending and controlling the
1446 application. We'll explore techniques to use this api for creating 3D
1447 meshes, that could be a foundation/ inspiration for generative
1448 architecture or art.</p>
