  31 SUMMARY:Technopolice: One year of activism against surveillance techno
  32  logies
  33 DESCRIPTION:Technopolice is a French movement aiming to
  34   analyze and document the spread of surveillance
  35   technologies in our cities and lives, in order to defend
  36   civil rights and liberties. The movement was initiated by
  37   La Quadrature du Net in 2019, and was followed by other
  38   organizations and individuals in a decentralized way. In
  39   this talk we will go through:\n\n - one year of study and
  40   activism in the Technopolice movement;\n\n - how we
  41   collectively gather information on these ongoning
  42   projects;\n\n - how we legally, technically, ethically and
  43   socially analyze and debate on them;\n\n - how we try to
  44   make them visible and understandable to non-technical
  45   users;\n\n - how people, artists, activists, and citizens
  46   can resist;\n\n - how we can all spread the word, that
  47   this is not our future, and not the one that we have
  48   chosen;\n\n - how we value freedom, transparency,
  49   ethics;\n\n - how we value common goods and that our
  50   future is ours to build.

  68 DESCRIPTION:Software Heritage collects, preserves, and
  69   shares software source code from major software
  70   development forges, free software distributions, package
  71   manager repositories, and more. As such, Software Heritage
  72   is the premier digital preservation initiative whose goal
  73   encompasses the long-term archival of free software
  74   commons for generations to come.\n\nThe Software Heritage
  75   archive is the largest publicly accessible archive of
  76   software source code, having collected 10 billion unique
  77   source code files and 2 billion unique commits from more
  78   than 140 million software projects.\n\nThis talk will
  79   provide an update about the Software Heritage project,
  80   focusing on increased archive coverage, integration with
  81   other initiatives, and way to practically use the archive,
  82   for both end users and developers.

  97 SUMMARY:Bridging the digital divide in education with free software an
  98  d hardware
  99 DESCRIPTION:In the current digital era, knowledge systems
 100   are available and accessible in many forms digitally,
 101   making learning a easier process for almost everyone who
 102   has access to them. For instance, a primary school student
 103   is able to work on electronics, robotics, and programming.
 104   On the flipside, there are underprivileged students who do
 105   not have access to even a basic computer due to lack of IT
 106   infrastructure in their schools. This creates a digital
 107   divide.\n\nTo bridge the divide, we can use free software
 108   like GNU/Linux, free hardware designs, and freely licensed
 109   educational materials. The BalaSwecha project makes use of
 110   all these to develop a GNU/Linux distribution based on
 111   interactive learning principles for children studying in
 112   underprivileged and underfunded schools. The presentation
 113   will deal about details and execution of this community
 114   project.

 130 DESCRIPTION:This session will briefly address why free
 131   software is important in education and provide examples of
 132   how proprietary software is rapidly deployed in
 133   schools.\n\n This presentation aims to help people:\n\n -
 134   rise up against this injustice, big and small,\n\n - share
 135   time and resources which will be shared by and for
 136   participants,\n\n - provide a safe discussion space to
 137   address issues in education,\n\n - generate ideas for how
 138   to become active in their community to be included in an
 139   Action Guide,\n\n - connect with others who are interested
 140   in helping the cause for free software in education
 141   spheres.

 157 DESCRIPTION:Framasoft is a small, French nonprofit, made up
 158   of only thirty-five members and ten employees.\n\nWe've
 159   been promoting free/libre software and its culture for
 160   more than fifteen years. From a collaborative free
 161   software directory to a publishing house, from hosting
 162   more than thirty-five free/libre services (our Dégooglify
 163   the Internet campaign) to initiating a libre hosts
 164   collective (CHATONS), from PeerTube (free and federated
 165   alternative to YouTube) to Mobilizon (same, but for
 166   Facebook groups and events)...\n\nWe've tried a lot of
 167   things to help change the world, one byte at the
 168   time!\n\nWe want to share our experience outside of French
 169   boarders, so it can be studied and (hopefully) copied and
 170   adapted to other languages and cultures.

 185 SUMMARY:Freeing networks where we need freedom most
 186 DESCRIPTION:The struggle for the freedom of Internet is ever
 187   growing. Corporations, and their partner in crime,
 188   governments, come up with new clever ideas to restrict
 189   free flow of information. Overlords of the truth are
 190   trying to recover old control, which the Internet has
 191   eroded everywhere in favor of the people.\n\nNetworking
 192   and freedom of communication are meant to be great
 193   equalizers. That would be true if carriers of
 194   communication signals could come out of thin air. Like the
 195   land and means of production, our signals depend on
 196   existing infrastructure, and the lords who own them are an
 197   obstacle to the freedom of the people. Freifunk is a
 198   non-commercial, grassroots initiative to support free
 199   computer networks in the German region. We try to apply
 200   the same principles in Turkey, bringing power back to the
 201   people.

 236 SUMMARY:"Logiciel libre, société libre": Free software activism in Fra
 237  nce and Europe
 238 DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1996, April is the main French
 239   advocacy association devoted to promoting and protecting
 240   free/libre software. Since 1996, it has been a major
 241   player in the democratization and the spread of free
 242   software and open standards to the general public,
 243   professionals and institutions in the French-speaking
 244   world. It also acts as a watchdog on digital freedoms,
 245   warning the public about the dangers of private interests
 246   keeping an exclusive stranglehold on information and
 247   knowledge.\n\nFree software cannot develop fully without a
 248   benevolent political and legislative environment. That is
 249   where April plays a crucial role in France and Europe,
 250   along with allied organizations. Its actions, thanks to
 251   its volunteers and its staff, are precious for everyone
 252   who produces and/or uses free software. It is the
 253   organization's small contribution to the free software
 254   movement. Étienne Gonnu, an April staff member, will
 255   present on how it operates, the current French and
 256   European issues April is working on, and share future
 257   perspectives, strategies, successes, and challenges.

 272 SUMMARY:The defense of the GNOME Foundation
 273 DESCRIPTION:In August 2019, GNOME was notified that it was
 274   being sued in the state of California over a broad patent
 275   which allegedly covered Shotwell, a photo management
 276   application. The plaintiff? A prolific filer of patent
 277   suits, and a patent assertion entity. This was the first
 278   time that a free software project has been sued for patent
 279   infringement.\n\nThis talk is the story from the executive
 280   director of the GNOME Foundation, on how he responded and
 281   the strategies taken to not only defeat the suit, but to
 282   secure a groundbreaking agreement which means that this
 283   particular PAE will never be able to sue any free software
 284   project ever again.

 300 SUMMARY:Gamifying education the libre way
 301 DESCRIPTION:Gamification is a concept that has flourished in
 302   the digital age. By leveraging the high interactivity and
 303   enticing incentives of game design with tight feedback
 304   loops, difficult concepts can be absorbed with little
 305   effort. But can a complex and controversial topic such as
 306   climate change be transformed into a fun and exciting
 307   learning opportunity? In this talk, we will explore how
 308   the philosophy of free software has been used to do
 309   exactly that by showing what we did to create and modify
 310   our own game and discuss how it can be applied in
 311   empowering educators and students to gamify their own
 312   interests.

 330 DESCRIPTION:What if everyone had free access to a repair
 331   manual for everything they owned? Making repair accessible
 332   to everyone is the best shot we’ve got at reducing e-waste
 333   and starting to make our high-tech lives
 334   sustainable.\n\nRight to repair is working to make that
 335   happen--to restore a small amount of freedom to the
 336   hardware world. We've introduced legislation in over 20
 337   states and are pushing manufacturers to release schematics
 338   and security patches for embedded systems.\n\nLearn the
 339   latest in the fight from one of the leaders of the
 340   movement. We're also in the midst of a big fight over the
 341   most evil section of the DMCA, the dreaded Section 1201
 342   that bans breaking encryption on hardware that you
 343   rightfully own.

 377 SUMMARY:Manufactura Independente: 10 years of designing in the libre
 378 DESCRIPTION:In 2010, we started Manufactura Independente, a
 379   space to develop our design practice using free/libre
 380   software. At the time we had just finished our studies and
 381   learnt the hard way how proprietary software and file
 382   formats can own your work. While our first dip in the
 383   waters was tough -- installing a new OS, understanding new
 384   tools, rejecting proprietary options -- the path was
 385   clear: we were in control, we became users, contributors
 386   and owners of the tools we employed. With each project we
 387   set out to explore tools and principles, going beyond
 388   "open" towards a framing of copyleft and freedom in the
 389   graphic arts. 10 years went by and we want to underscore
 390   that anniversary by sharing our work, tools and stories of
 391   how we grew to love the GNU, and how free software ideals
 392   came to redefine our design practice, and are more
 393   relevant than ever today.

 408 SUMMARY:Usable security for end-users: How Tor improves usability with
 409  out compromising user privacy
 410 DESCRIPTION:The Tor network, used by 2.5 million users every
 411   day, protects their privacy via “onion routing,” which
 412   directs Internet traffic – email, instant messages, online
 413   posts, Web form visits, and more – through a multilayered
 414   network that obfuscates who the user is, thus concealing
 415   their identity and location.\n\nBecause our design
 416   prioritizes privacy, our tools gather very little
 417   information about our users. Early in 2018, we began our
 418   User Research Program, where we incorporated user research
 419   as part of our outreach security trainings by doing
 420   interviews and collecting user feedback on the tools we
 421   taught participants during the training. So far, this
 422   program has reached an audience of over 800 people in
 423   countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, India, Indonesia,
 424   Kenya and Uganda. The methods of conducting open user
 425   research and collecting usability feedback mentioned above
 426   have been informing design decisions in every stable Tor
 427   Browser release since 7.5 (and we’re up to
 428   10.0.2!).\n\nDuring this presentation we will share our
 429   human-centered design methodologies and the impact they
 430   had in releasing usable free software PET's.

 470 SUMMARY:Adopting free software ideals
 471 DESCRIPTION:Adopting free software ideals can be confusing
 472   and challenging for individuals, filled with cognitive
 473   dissonance and questioning of practicality. Am I a bad
 474   person if I use nonfree software? What example should I
 475   set as a free software activist or advocate? How does that
 476   relate to responsibilities of developers and
 477   distributors?\n\nThis is a talk about practical ethics and
 478   ideals. It is personal, drawing upon my experiences and
 479   evolution over the past fifteen years. It contains some
 480   awkward discussions that free software activists like to
 481   avoid, and hopes to guide those seeking to adopt more free
 482   software ideals, but fear they may not be able to meet
 483   such high standards. It's a talk about evolution and
 484   growth.\n\nBut complacency in the face of conflict can
 485   also dilute our ideals. So this is also a talk about
 486   balancing ideals in the context of one's own unique
 487   circumstances, while at the same time preserving a strong
 488   message about software freedom.

 503 SUMMARY:Jami and how it empowers users
 504 DESCRIPTION:Jami is free software for universal
 505   communication which respects the freedoms and privacy of
 506   its users. Jami is an official GNU package with a main
 507   goal of providing a framework for virtual communications,
 508   along with a series of end-user applications for
 509   audio/video calling and conferencing, text messaging, and
 510   file transfer.\n\nWith the outbreak of the COVID-19
 511   pandemic, working from home has become the norm for many
 512   workers around the world. More and more people are using
 513   videoconferencing tools to work or communicate with their
 514   loved ones. The emergence of these tools has been followed
 515   by many questions and scandals concerning the privacy and
 516   freedom of users.\n\nThis talk gives an introduction to
 517   Jami, a free/libre, truly distributed, and peer-to-peer
 518   solution, and explains why and how it differs from all
 519   other existing solutions and how it empowers users.

 560   decentralized services designed around the principle of
 561   least authority: the 3NWeb free software protocols and
 562   client. 3NWeb use cases include encrypted messaging and
 563   storage, which we will demonstrate. The protocols can be
 564   run over anonymous networks such as Tor. We need to share
 565   our knowledge and collectively move our society to be more
 566   immune to crisis via increased deployment of free
 567   software. 3NWeb can help the world move one more step in
 568   that direction.

 601 SUMMARY:The challenges of change for values-centered nonprofits
 602 DESCRIPTION:Organizational change is never easy. It can be
 603   particularly challenging in values-centered non-profits,
 604   where calls for healthy organizational change can be seen
 605   as criticism or a threat to the core values. This
 606   conversation between two long-time nonprofit leaders will
 607   dive into organizational change at two tech- and
 608   values-centered nonprofits, the Sunlight Foundation (where
 609   former leaders were accused of sexual harassment) and at
 610   the Wikimedia Foundation (where a sweeping strategic
 611   process has resulted in a broader vision that goes beyond
 612   free licensing to explicitly include equity). By seeing
 613   how one organization tried to rebuild after crisis, and
 614   another proactively reimagined its role in the broader
 615   free ecosystem, attendees should come away with ideas for
 616   how their own communities (small and large) can address
 617   the past and look towards the future.

 728 SUMMARY:REUSE: Simple steps to declare your copyright and licenses
 729 DESCRIPTION:Free software licensing can be tiresome. But
 730   setting the conditions for the use and reuse of your code
 731   is extremely important. To make developers' lives easier,
 732   there is the REUSE initiative. This presentation will
 733   explain simple yet powerful best practices for defining
 734   licenses and copyright holders.\n\nIn three easy steps,
 735   you can make sure that for all files are labelled clearly.
 736   No matter how complex you project is, REUSE keeps you
 737   covered. With the additional documents and tools, you can
 738   increase the time you actually can concentrate on
 739   coding.\n\nJoin the session to learn about the principles
 740   and see a live demo of how we make a project REUSE
 741   compliant.

 758 DESCRIPTION:Why is it that some free software projects,
 759   although started at the same time as comparable propriety
 760   projects, are still playing catch-up in terms of number of
 761   users and desired features? Features comparisons as well
 762   as the network effect and how well known a piece of
 763   software is play into this, but what features do users
 764   find most important? We can’t make “better” software until
 765   we know what features users actually care about. This talk
 766   will explore prominent examples of free software projects
 767   and look at how free software can stay ahead of the curve.

 807 DESCRIPTION:We will present Paperless Open Marking (Plom), a
 808   software system for giving tests on paper, but marking and
 809   returning them online. We (undergraduate students) worked
 810   on this software as a summer project.\n\nPlom was
 811   developed because existing grading software was usually
 812   proprietary, too expensive, did not allow for the
 813   complexity of multiversioned tests required for crowded
 814   exam rooms, and might not respect local privacy laws. Plom
 815   respects privacy of student data: all data stays on your
 816   server, and markers do not see student names or IDs while
 817   they are marking.\n\n Plom is GPLv3 licensed and is
 818   currently in use at the University of British Columbia. As
 819   an undergraduate student team, we made significant
 820   improvements to the functionality and correctness of Plom,
 821   and are excited to share our contributions with you.

 860 SUMMARY:Openwifi project: The dawn of the free/libre WiFi chip
 861 DESCRIPTION:In past decades, free software has played a key
 862   role towards the free and trusted Internet. In recent
 863   years, free software processor projects like RISC-V have
 864   pushed forward to construct free devices and computers.
 865   However, the radio connectivity of the device still relies
 866   on the black box silicons (WiFi, BLE, cellular chips). The
 867   Openwifi project (https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi)
 868   aims to offer an free WiFi chip design that could act as
 869   the missing piece of the free software and hardware
 870   puzzle. As the initial step, the Openwifi project has
 871   implemented the 802.11a/g full-stack on an FPGA-based
 872   software defined radio (SDR) platform. The 802.11n feature
 873   is funded by NLnet and is under development. This
 874   presentation will give you the project overview and
 875   discuss the future of the project.

 890 SUMMARY:Machine agency: Infrastructure for creative automation
 891 DESCRIPTION:How can we harness the precision of machines for
 892   the creativity of individuals? Automation and computer
 893   control of machines is increasingly widespread. However,
 894   it's often employed for dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks.
 895   This is partially because setting up these systems is
 896   complex and time consuming. How can we instead lower the
 897   threshold to automation such that it can be employed for
 898   experimental and explorational practices? In this talk, I
 899   will describe my research group's machine designs, and
 900   perhaps more importantly, discuss the attributes that
 901   makes them buildable, tailorable, and extendable by
 902   others.

 922   The Washington Post and The New York Times. This talk
 923   introduces the SecureDrop Workstation, the next-generation
 924   platform aimed at helping journalists communicate with
 925   sources in a high-security environment. Based on Qubes OS,
 926   the SecureDrop Workstation leverages Xen hypervisor
 927   isolation to manage sensitive source material safely,
 928   including viewing, archiving, and processing documents.
 929   The talk will review the results of the recent security
 930   audit focusing on the Workstation, and outline future
 931   directions for the project as it approaches general
 932   availability.

 947 SUMMARY:Remote education: My children's freedom and privacy at stake
 948 DESCRIPTION:During COVID-19 confinement, I saw how all
 949   teachers were choosing proprietary video conferencing
 950   programs over free software for the continuation of online
 951   lessons.\n\nI had two options: do nothing about it and let
 952   proprietary video conferencing tools spread among my
 953   children and their classmates, or try to fight back
 954   against this injustice.\n\nMy paramount concern was for my
 955   own children. I knew in advance what it meant to start
 956   this battle. Moreover, this could affect my children’s
 957   feelings. They were not attending school and they were
 958   already facing a very complex challenge by being forced to
 959   stay at home. On the other hand, I was also afraid of
 960   having some kind of retaliation from their teachers
 961   against them because of my fight.\n\nI didn’t want any of
 962   these things to happen. I needed to decide what to do, and
 963   evaluate if my commitment towards the free software
 964   movement was more important than my own children, or if I
 965   had to let it go this time.\n\nI concluded that the answer
 966   was not either face a big fight or do nothing, I could do
 967   something in between; that at least would be better than
 968   doing nothing.

 983 SUMMARY:Ingestum: A FOSS NLP document ingestion library
 984 DESCRIPTION:Many NLP projects that depend upon the analysis
 985   of documents are impaired by the difficulty of
 986   transforming source material into a computer-readable
 987   format. For example, PDF files are designed for human
 988   consumption but can look like a bag full of words to a
 989   computer. To address this problem engineers at Sorcero
 990   developed Ingestum, a library that is used to "devour"
 991   content sources, outputting a format that can be used for
 992   additional processing. Ingestum has four main
 993   concepts:\n\nSources - common content sources that feed
 994   the ingestion process, e.g. PDF, HTML, PNG, WAV, Twitter,
 995   email, et al. \n\nDocuments - the intermediary and final
 996   states of a source during the ingestion process.
 997   \n\nTransformers - a transformation function that can be
 998   applied a document, e.g. removing hyphens from a text
 999   document. \n\nConditionals - a logic conditional operation
1000   that can be use to modify the behavior of a transformer.

1061 SUMMARY:A dispatch from the front lines of right to repair
1062 DESCRIPTION:FUD fighting on the front lines of right to
1063   repair: As our homes, workplaces and public spaces fill
1064   with Internet-connected "smart" stuff, a digital right to
1065   repair is critical to protecting consumer rights, property
1066   rights and civil liberties. Despite that, electronics
1067   giants like Apple, Samsung, LG and General Electric have
1068   snuffed out scores of proposed state laws seeking to
1069   create such a right. How? By scaring legislators with
1070   tales of device hacking, cyber stalking and identity
1071   theft.\n\nCreating a legal right to repair our stuff means
1072   short-circuiting these arguments and injecting a dose of
1073   facts into hearings and public debate. In this
1074   presentation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs,
1075   provides a dispatch from the front lines of right to
1076   repair and how his group of more than 200 IT and
1077   information security professionals is doing battle to set
1078   the record straight on cybersecurity and the right to
1079   repair.

1099   advance people on a larger scale. I’ll discuss the ways
1100   that values of free software and labor movements
1101   complement one another. I will outline the practical
1102   technology needs of labor organizations that could be met
1103   by free software. Finally I will talk about what attendees
1104   can do to support labor movements with free software by
1105   describing some promising organizations looking to bridge
1106   the gap.

1121 SUMMARY:An information theoretic model of privacy and security metrics
1122 DESCRIPTION:An information theoretic model of privacy and
1123   security metrics - or - how I learned to stop worrying
1124   about password meters and love the dice.\n\nSince 2010,
1125   EFF has maintained a project dubbed Panopticlick, which
1126   aims to help users understand a technique called browser
1127   fingerprinting. Web trackers are able to stitch together
1128   little bits of information the users browser leaves behind
1129   into a cohesive whole, a fingerprint which follows them
1130   across their usage of the Web. Panopticlick is able to
1131   quantify the amount of information your browser leaks
1132   through the use of an information theoretical approach to
1133   privacy which determines how much information each
1134   individual metric (say, a user's list of fonts) reveals,
1135   and the relationship of these individual metrics to how
1136   much a browser reveals in general. Many of the
1137   misconceptions users have when using the site reflect an
1138   unclear picture about how their browser fingerprint is
1139   arrived at, and often leads users down a path that
1140   *decreases* their overall privacy in an attempt to
1141   increase it.

1177   turns the web into something like an app store, but
1178   worse)\n\n - Online dis-services\n\n - Nvidia's Lubyanka:
1179   prisoners of the GPU\n\n - Proprietary non-interoperable
1180   tools as de-facto standards\n\n - The Internet of
1181   Malthings which will only talk with a mobile phone via an
1182   online dis-service\n\n - VR with nonfree platforms to run
1183   only nonfree applications\n\n - Vaccination "passports"
1184   could track people in daily life throuh restaurants,
1185   theaters, gyms, buses...\n\n - Together they reduce your
1186   computer to a platform for nonfree malware that will do

1203 DESCRIPTION:I've always been a free software programmer, a
1204   contractor to the rich and already powerful so they could
1205   use free software to its fullest. But, users, normal
1206   everyday users, are left out, and their needs are often
1207   different from business, universities and other large
1208   organizations who can afford to pay developers.\n\nI
1209   wanted to develop Inkscape for users, and to do this I
1210   have started asking users to fund me directly. Four
1211   Inkscape developers currently use a personal funding
1212   platform to try and raise the money needed to make our
1213   activities more stable and user-focused. Come hear about
1214   my experiences setting up and operating in a federated and
1215   fragmented system and how we can move free software
1216   economics from business versus volunteers to a more
1217   equitable settlement for users and developers.

1252 DESCRIPTION:Over 100 teams attempted to create free/libre
1253   solutions to address the shortage of ventilators caused by
1254   the COVID-19 pandemic; we created a large spreadsheet
1255   evaluating all of them along many coordinates. Slowly,
1256   teams coalesced into a global community and began
1257   cooperating. There were many successes, failures, and
1258   learnings. The community had pioneered techniques that
1259   were re-used inconsistently to organize teams. The overall
1260   effect was mixed in terms of its success developing
1261   ventilators, but very successful in advancing the global
1262   free hardware community. We present this story from the
1263   point of view of a full-time active participant in many
1264   organizations.

1283 DESCRIPTION:In past years, free software projects have
1284   increased their usability considerably. Still, one of the
1285   main reasons users with no technical background don't use
1286   many free software projects in their daily routine is that
1287   some projects don't offer good usability, which drives
1288   them into choosing proprietary solutions. This talk is a

1291   applicable and simple solutions to improve free software

1313   refuse to show its ink? What good is your app when your
1314   API key is revoked? Through metaphor and with a unique
1315   apprenticeship-based pedagogy, Tech Learning Collective
1316   (TLC) is empowering users by doing exactly what code boot
1317   camps and corporate-funded "learn to code" programs don't:
1318   TLC tells students to ignore new Web frameworks and focus
1319   instead on the lowest layers of an IT stack like physical
1320   network and hardware storage devices. At TLC,
1321   infrastructure is the heart of a free software curriculum
1322   eschewing common rush-to-employment training paradigms in
1323   favor of Socratic classrooms where practicing Bash
1324   commands seamlessly meld with lectures about Gnostic
1325   influences on Ethernet, the relationship between Gregorian
1326   chants and bootloaders, and more. Come see why and how
1327   TLC's holistic approach to IT education is creating
1328   communities of activist sysadmins out of people who
1329   wouldn't otherwise have called themselves "techies."
