15 sed communities or should we be looking outside? If free software is to su
16 cceed (forever!) I believe we need to do both. Maintaining our ideals as w
17 e take free software to new places\, introduce it to new people\, and bend
18 it to new purposes depends on our willingness to grow both individually a

35 DESCRIPTION:A battle is underway at the US Department of Defense (DoD) to
36 improve the way DoD develops\, secures\, and deploys software. The Nationa
37 l Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is not common reading for most people\,
38 but buried within the DoD’s 2\,000-page budget authorization is a provi
39 sion to free source code. The lively history behind this provision is simu
40 ltaneously frustrating and encouraging\, with private industry giants\, Co
41 ngress\, and other federal agencies jockeying around the effort to free th
42 e code at DoD. Come listen to this important\, but perhaps lesser known\,
43 chapter of the free software narrative\, and learn how a small group of im
44 passioned digital service experts are defying all odds to continue the fig
45 ht for free software adoption.

59 DESCRIPTION:Modern vehicles are nodes on a network with a high degree of a
60 utonomy. As they've become more connected\, they've incorporated more free
61 software. But the fundamentally proprietary nature of car and truck manuf
62 acturers has led to regulatory and compliance issues that have unclear out
63 comes. The outcomes are increasingly pertinent to software freedom\, espec
64 ially as the use of free software shifts domains from consumer-focused to
65 safety-critical. This session will discuss problems around modern vehicles

100 DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will reconstruct a real 3D object using a
101 camera and free software! Photogrammetry is the reconstruction of 3D info
102 rmation about objects from a photograph or multiple photographs -- like 3D
103 scanning but with cameras. While closed source tools to do this are quite
104 well marketed and hyped\, it might come as a surprise that we can accompl
105 ish similar results with free software. The workshop will go over some of
106 these tools\, and their use and installation\, and participants should be
107 able to go home and do the same with their own computers and cameras. Some
108 familiarity with command line tools\, software installation\, and 3D grap
109 hics might help\, but the workshop should be understandable to people with
110 any level of technical ability. Please bring your own laptop and\, if you

172 DESCRIPTION:If you develop or distribute software of any kind\, you are vu
173 lnerable to whole categories of attacks upon yourself or your loved ones.
174 This includes blackmail\, extortion or "just" simple malware injection! By
175 targeting software developers such as yourself\, malicious actors\, inclu
176 ding nefarious governments\, can infect and attack thousands -- if not mil
177 lions -- of end users. How can we prevent these disasters? The idea behind
178 reproducible builds is to allow verification that no flaws have been intr
179 oduced during build processes\; this prevents against the installation of
180 backdoor-introducing malware on developers' machines\, ensuring attempts a
181 t extortion and other forms of subterfuge are quickly uncovered and thus u
182 ltimately futile. Through a story of three different developers\, this tal
183 k will engage you on this growing threat to you\, and how it affects every
184 one involved in the production lifecycle of software development\, as well
185 as how reproducible builds can help prevent against it.

280 recent proposed/enacted policies and laws. We will also briefly discuss t

316 preserve\, and share the entire body of free software that is published on
317 the Internet in source code form\, together with its development history.
318 Since its public announcement in 2016\, the project has assembled the lar
319 gest collection of freely available software source code for about 4 billi
320 on unique source code files and 900 million commits\, coming from more tha
321 n 60 million projects. Initially focused on the collection and preservatio
322 n goals -- which were at the time urgent\, due to the recurrent disappeara
323 nces of development forges -- Software Heritage has since rolled out sever
324 al mechanisms to peruse its archive\, making progress on the sharing goal.

603 DESCRIPTION:Many things in life come with limitations -- often because we
604 don't have unlimited time\, energy\, or other resources. But software ofte
605 n feels like it should be an exception\, because it's immaterial and weigh
606 tless\, built from scratch out of logic. It doesn't literally rust or rot.
607 So idealistic software developers have consistently envisioned software s
608 ystems that will escape the shortcomings that frustrate users. Meanwhile\,
609 researchers keep discovering kinds of tradeoffs that seem to be built int
610 o the very structure of certain problems\; as the Rolling Stones said\, "Y
611 ou can't always get what you want." Inherent tradeoffs have popped up in p
612 olitical science\, computer science\, and even ethical philosophy\, with c
613 onjectures and often formal proofs that\, in various regards\, can't be we
614 dged into any system that will give people all that they want out of it. L
615 imitative theorems are now a major research theme\, and more are being fou
616 nd all the time. These tradeoffs seem to have very practical consequences\
617 , among other things\, for privacy and anonymity software\, and for social
618 networks: each design may have to give up things some users value in orde
619 r to achieve other goals. Thinking about these limitations and what they d
620 o or don't mean can help inform discussions of software design\, especiall

931 a surgically precise targeted cyber attack. A malware virus called NotPety

1102 DESCRIPTION:GuixSD is a GNU/Linux distribution built from the ground up to
1103 empower users to exercise the four freedoms they've been granted by free
1104 software. In this talk\, you will learn how GuixSD makes it easy to inspec

1122 DESCRIPTION:OBS Studio is a FLOSS application that puts you in the directo
1123 r's chair for live streaming or recording. It is built as an application t
1124 o help video game or creative streamers share their computer screens with
1125 a live audience\, but its power goes well beyond that. Anyone who is using
1126 their computer to tell a story can benefit from the professional touch th
1127 at OBS can provide. It can manage multiple capture devices\, independently
1128 combine captured window areas\, and overlay text and graphics. In this pr
1129 esentation\, I'll show you what this software can do\, and what you can do
1130 with it. A simple example: presenters often like to include their social
1131 media handle on their slides. When the presenter goes to the terminal\, th
1132 is isn't displayed. If the presenter uses OBS studio to control the projec
1133 tor display\, OBS studio can trivially be configured to overlay anything.

1149 DESCRIPTION:Music Blocks is a visual programming language for exploring mu
1150 sical concepts. It was developed by Walter Bender (SugarLabs) and Devin Ul
1151 ibarri (New England Conservatory)\, along with contributions from countles
1152 s youth from all over the world. Bring a laptop to this hands-on workshop\
1153 , and engage yourself in coding while having fun with music. Walter and De
1154 vin will be on site to guide you through what Music Blocks has to offer\,
1155 and to help you with any questions you may have. This workshop will be kid
1156 -friendly\, for years 7 and up. It is recommended that you bring your lapt
1157 op with Chromium and/or Firefox pre-installed\, as well as your own earbud
1158 s or headphones. Some laptops and peripherals may be provided\, but there
1159 is no guarantee. Adults are allowed too\, but the coordinators will priori
1160 tize kids in attendance.

1176 explore how the programs fit together in the context of software freedom
1177 generally. Karen will review her work around medical devices and critical
1178 infrastructure and show how seemingly disparate initiatives fit into a sin
1179 gle advocacy narrative.

1193 DESCRIPTION:Elections in the US rely heavily on software. Whether we cast
1194 our votes using a computer\, or on paper ballots that are then scanned\, s
1195 oftware interprets our votes\, counts them\, tabulates the results\, and c
1196 alls the winner. Almost all of this software is proprietary\, and owned by
1197 a handful of large companies. A few jurisdictions have plans to move to f
1198 ree software\, are funding its development\, or are already using it. I'll
1199 give an overview of free software projects for election-related software
1200 around the US\, with a focus on San Francisco's project\, where I'm on the
1201 Technical Advisory Committee.
