 105                             <p>The effort to re-decentralize the web has been under
 106                               way for a number of years, but what's really happening
 107                               under the hood? Various projects like Diaspora, GNU
 108                               social, GNU MediaGoblin, Friendica Red, and Pump.IO all
 109                               exist, but not all these projects can talk to each
 110                               other. How can we fix that? A demo of PyPump will be
 111                               given, as well as a rundown on the progress of the W3C

 133                         <p>What if the classic horror trope of the good doctor who
 134                               becomes a monster at night were reversed? Instead of the
 135                               good Dr. Jekyll transforming into the rampaging Mr. Hyde,
 136                               advocates of free who work in nonfree environments can
 137                               feel as if they only get to put on their altruistic
 138                               persona at night. For academics advocating free software
 139                               and free culture in particular, libre ethics are often at
 140                               odds with both administrative structures and expected
 141                               teaching outcomes. This session explores the struggles of
 142                               advocating free in both research and teaching.</p>

 164                             <p>TAFTA, CETA, and TISA are far-reaching trade agreements
 165                               posing major threats to online freedom and creating legal
 166                               uncertainty for all Internet players. They set forth an
 167                               ever stronger protection of copyright and patents. They
 168                               'recycle' the most toxic parts of ACTA, the
 169                               anti-counterfeiting trade agreement which was rejected in
 170                               2012. The presentation focuses on the software aspects of
 171                               TAFTA, CETA, TISA. We will call for action against these
 172                               global treaty projects and offer alternative proposals,
 173                               which favour Free Software Everywhere.</p>

 221                               issuing publicly-trusted certificates, at no charge, by
 222                               the millions. Called Let's Encrypt, this CA is an
 223                               initiative of several organizations. Our free software and
 224                               protocol will let sysadmins run a single command to turn
 225                               on HTTPS on their servers in about a minute, helping
 226                               eliminate obstacles to activating encryption for every Web
 227                               server. I'll describe how it all works and give a demo. We

 247                         <p>Reusing works licensed under free licenses seems pretty
 248                           simple, but it can often be quite time consuming. One image
 249                           or a few lines of source code might be okay, but keeping
 250                           track of the license and attribution of a thousand different
 251                           pieces, or when quoting from massive data sets such as
 252                           Wikipedia? Whoah! Don’t we have computers to do that for
 253                           us!? We do, but there’s no widespread support for including
 254                           licensing or author information when sharing or reusing
 255                           digital works. This session will discuss how this should
 256                           work in a free knowledge environment, and could it be that
 257                           many problems regarding copyright and "piracy" in our
 258                           digital society could be solved with free software?</p>
 259
 260                         <p>In order to relate effectively to the digital works we
 261                               see online, attribution (who made or built something)
 262                               matters. Proper attribution is the start of being able to
 263                               explore digital works online in their right context. This
 264                               talk will focus on the philosophical background of why
 265                               attribution matters, the benefits that free software can
 266                               bring to the way we work with pieces of art (lolcats and
 267                               Shakespeare alike), and where we're heading in the
 268                               future.</p>

 331                 <p>The free software movement has twin goals:
 332                 promoting access to software through users' freedom to
 333                 share, and empowering users by giving them control
 334                 over their technology. For all our movement's success,
 335                 we have been much more successful at the former. I
 336                 will use data from free software and from several
 337                 related movements to explain why promoting empowerment
 338                 is systematically more difficult than promoting access
 339                 and I will explore how our movement might address the
 340                 second challenge in the future.</p>

 389                             <p>Typically, GPL enforcement activity involves
 390                             copyright infringement actions which compel license
 391                             violators to correct errors in their GPL compliance,
 392                             defending the policy goals of the GPL: the rights of
 393                             developers and users to copy, share, modify and
 394                             redistribute.</p>
 395                             <p>While traditional enforcement is often undeniably
 396                             necessary for embedded electronics products, novel
 397                             approaches to GPL violations are often possible and
 398                             even superior for more traditional software
 399                             distributions.</p>
 400                             <p>Recently, Software Freedom Conservancy engaged in
 401                             an enforcement action whereby, rather than fight the
 402                             violator in court, we instead provided resources and
 403                             assistance to a vetted GPL-compliant fork of a
 404                             violating codebase.</p>
 405                             <p>This talk discusses which scenarios make this
 406                             remedy optimal and the lessons learned. The talk
 407                             includes some licensing and technical content about
 408                             vetting the licensing information of codebases.</p>
