DESCRIPTION:As free software activists\, do we focus on our own project-ba
 sed communities or should we be looking outside? If free software is to su
 cceed (forever!) I believe we need to do both. Maintaining our ideals as w
 e take free software to new places\, introduce it to new people\, and bend
  it to new purposes depends on our willingness to grow both individually a
 nd collectively. Change is never simple so I hope that we will be gentle w
 ith each other as we try new things and work to build an even bigger movem
 ent.

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

 utonomy. As they've become more connected\, they've incorporated more free
  software. But the fundamentally proprietary nature of car and truck manuf
 acturers has led to regulatory and compliance issues that have unclear out
 comes. The outcomes are increasingly pertinent to software freedom\, espec

 safety-critical. This session will discuss problems around modern vehicles

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

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

  the Internet in source code form\, together with its development history.
  Since its public announcement in 2016\, the project has assembled the lar
 gest collection of freely available software source code for about 4 billi
 on unique source code files and 900 million commits\, coming from more tha
 n 60 million projects. Initially focused on the collection and preservatio
 n goals -- which were at the time urgent\, due to the recurrent disappeara
 nces of development forges -- Software Heritage has since rolled out sever
 al mechanisms to peruse its archive\, making progress on the sharing goal.
  In this talk\, we will review the status of the Software Heritage project
 \, emphasizing how users and developers can\, today\, benefit from the ava
 ilability of a great public library of source code.

 d at\, alongside other business models for free software companies. Few co
 ntributors are paid to work on free software today\, and far fewer are pai

DESCRIPTION:The license-importance divide seems almost generational: the o
 lder generation cares about licenses\, and the younger generation does not
 . Yet\, the historical focus on licensing in FLOSS\, while occasionally pr
 one to pedantry to a degree only developers can love\, stemmed from seriou
 s governance considerations regarding how community members interact. Copy
 left was invented to solve the many problems of project governance\, assur
 ing the rights of users and creating equal footing for all contributors. T
 he licensing infrastructure today also has increased in complexity\, with 
 proprietary relicensing business models\, excessive use of CLAs\, and tric
 ky clauses on top of existing licenses. Given this climate\, how do we und
 erstand if copyleft is succeeding? This talk explores historical motivatio
 ns and modern reactions to these licensing matters\, and digs into underst

DESCRIPTION:Many things in life come with limitations -- often because we 
 don't have unlimited time\, energy\, or other resources. But software ofte
 n feels like it should be an exception\, because it's immaterial and weigh
 tless\, built from scratch out of logic. It doesn't literally rust or rot.
  So idealistic software developers have consistently envisioned software s
 ystems that will escape the shortcomings that frustrate users. Meanwhile\,
  researchers keep discovering kinds of tradeoffs that seem to be built int
 o the very structure of certain problems\; as the Rolling Stones said\, "Y
 ou can't always get what you want." Inherent tradeoffs have popped up in p
 olitical science\, computer science\, and even ethical philosophy\, with c
 onjectures and often formal proofs that\, in various regards\, can't be we
 dged into any system that will give people all that they want out of it. L
 imitative theorems are now a major research theme\, and more are being fou
 nd all the time. These tradeoffs seem to have very practical consequences\
 , among other things\, for privacy and anonymity software\, and for social
  networks: each design may have to give up things some users value in orde
 r to achieve other goals. Thinking about these limitations and what they d
 o or don't mean can help inform discussions of software design\, especiall
 y for communications tools whose value depends on broad adoption. And we'r
 e having to get used to the idea that in some ways\, we'll never create pe
 rfect software.

DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2017\, software powering the critical infrast
 ructure of Ukraine came to a grinding halt after the country was hit with 
 a surgically precise targeted cyber attack. A malware virus called NotPety
 a irreversibly encrypted the files of hundreds of thousands of computers. 
 The impact was devastating: the Chernobyl radiation moderating system was 
 shut down\, governmental institutions lost access to critical data\, and t
 he total damage was estimated to cost over $100 million. This example\, am
 ong others\, points to an increasing weaponization of vulnerabilities in p
 roprietary software to accomplish these attacks. This session explores the
  ways in which proprietary software acts as a catalyst for the spread of c
 yber attacks\, and will explore the use of free software and how it can be
  used to build resilient\, virus-resistant digital infrastructure.

 Within free software culture\, there is a perception and expectation of op
 enness and collaboration within the community: all are welcome to the tabl
 e\, and your contributions speak for you. When you get outside the communi
 ty by enough\, however\, the answer changes. Contemptuous\, confusing\, el

 and make our communities more approachable by outsiders by using real-worl

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

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