125 DESCRIPTION:Free software licenses constrain how software can be used\, wh

127 a wide variety of governance structures are used in free software projects
128 \, from "one person\, one vote" democracy to "benevolent dictator for life
129 \," and beyond. This presentation provides a survey of existing governance
130 structures used by free software projects such as Python\, Debian\, and o
131 thers. Together\, we'll explore how governance decisions have affected the

195 stoppable ascendance of a few large corporations in computing. Everything
196 seems to be increasingly centralized in such corporations (a trend popular
197 ly called the "cloud\," although Richard Stallman has repeatedly criticize
198 d the use of that buzzword). This presentation will explain why such centr
199 alization and the triumph of first movers is facilitated by three technolo
200 gical factors: the end of Moore's Law\, compiling complex algorithms into
201 hardware (which may reach its climax in quantum computing)\, and the value
202 of aggregating large amounts of data.

262 DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, Application Programming Interfaces (API
263 s) have acted as the pillars of application development. They provide mech
264 anisms which allow applications to communicate with each other. Developers
265 can integrate various APIs into their code to create entirely new applica
266 tions. Unfortunately\, users of an API are held hostage to the licensing o
267 f its creator. If an API is not free software compliant\, then none of its
268 users can build free software off of it. Using the Google Maps API as a c
269 ase study\, we will examine the ethical and technological implications of
270 providing open\, but not free\, access to an API.

338 DESCRIPTION:GPL enforcement is an integral part of software freedom\, but
339 we lack systematic evidence on what kind of benefits successful enforcemen
340 t can provide us. In this session\, I discuss a case in which GPL enforcem
341 ent led to quantifiable benefits for customers: GPL violations by Cisco/Li
342 nksys\, and the emergence of OpenWRT. In 2003\, Cisco/Linksys was found to
343 be in violation of the GPL by distributing GNU/Linux source code with its
344 WRT54G. Successful negotiations by the FSF led Cisco/Linksys to release s
345 ource code\, creating a wide array of custom firmware projects. In this t
346 alk\, I collect data on wireless routers\, custom firmware compatibility\,
347 and match this to Amazon.com reviews. I show that users value routers com
348 patible with OpenWRT\, and that these products have higher reviews and sel
349 l more. This talk highlights the importance of measuring the impact of GPL
350 enforcement\, and shows how GPL enforcement can benefit customers.

594 DESCRIPTION:OpenStreetMap (OSM) began in 2004 as a reaction to the high co
595 st of geospatial information. Initially data was mostly collected by handh
596 eld GPS\, so the OSM of 2004 looks very different from the OSM of 2019. OS
597 M is still powered by individual mappers collecting data\, but the variety
598 of ways the information is created and the ways it is used and distribute

615 DESCRIPTION:I'll be discussing what codes of conduct are intended to prote
616 ct. No code will be appropriate in all contexts\; free software projects'
617 needs and cultures differ enough so that no single code of conduct can cov
618 er them all. Groups need to establish their own codes\, according to their
619 needs and current culture. Before arguing what codes of conduct should sa
620 y\, how they should be implemented\, and who should enforce them\, we need
621 to consider what these codes might protect and why. Then\, in the future\
622 , any given group might think better about criteria for proposed communica
623 tion guidelines or codes of conduct.

681 users and developers. Users use software\, while developers write it. How
682 does one transition between just using software and making it? One easy wa

717 DESCRIPTION:Free software will not win by "merely" replacing proprietary s
718 oftware. We need to lead with a vision of how the world could be. A volunt
719 ary community\, one where people participate by choice\, does not have to
720 replicate the power structures\, gatekeeping\, or casual cruelty of the sy
721 stems it seeks to replace. We could make free software the most empowering
722 place to build software. Free software tools could enable new ways of cra
723 fting user experiences that proprietary software providers seem unwilling
724 to offer. Free software could transform the relationship between users and
725 developers\, so that users feel like partners instead of sales metrics. F
726 ree software communities should be seeking to outdo proprietary software's
727 methods and social norms in every possible way. We've made a great start
728 by empowering many technical and semi-technical users\, but we can't stop
729 there. (What kind of utopia only has coders in it?) Let's build a kinder a
730 nd more practical free software movement to empower all kinds of people!

781 DESCRIPTION:Words like "wizardry" and "incantation" have long been used to
782 describe skillful computational feats. But neither computers nor their us
783 ers are performing feats of magic\; for systems to think\, we must tell th
784 em how. Today\, users most often follow a carefully choreographed workflow
785 that thinks for them\, limited by a narrow set of premeditated possibilit
786 ies. But there exist concepts that offer virtually no limits on freedom of
787 expression or thought\, blurring the distinction between "user" and "prog
788 rammer." This session demonstrates a range of practical possibilities when
789 a machine acts as an extension of the user's imagination\, for the techni
790 cal and nontechnical alike.
